Default check engine light on deceleration

Engine is a bone stock d16a6 (for now). This isn't happening all the time, usually once a day.
When I'm coming to a stop, usually after a downshift, with the throttle full shut, I get a check engine light. I get it more often when I have been driving the car a suspended higher rpms (i.e. highway driving).

any ideas?

Sounds like your engine is going from closed loop to open loop and looking for a sensor that's either failing, going to fail, or is not plugged in. I suspect the O2 sensor.
