you can reset the ECU to turn it off for the moment.

the light turns on because the car detects that one of its systems is not functioning. the system being the cat. until you put on a cat or make the car think that there is a cat, the light will keep coming back.

guaranteed fix: install a catalytic converter.

50% chance fix: install a o2 sim

other unknown fix: use the spark defouler method. and search
