It Depends, It Could me a faulty sensor, or it could actually be a problem

Go to a oil change place or shop, and have them check the code and tell you what it is

Emmision warranty extension: 150,000 miles or 14 years. Most causes of the cel coming on are covered. Take it to the dealer.

Not just the guy's explanation. They can get pretty 'creative'...

If you go to the dealer, it all depends on what the code is, and mostly on what your 'couple other little things' really are. If they want to deny warranty coverage, they need to have a plausible explanation for why your mods would cause the problem. I can think of a few situations where they could legitimately deny coverage.
