You can barely see it on this cluster. I'm guessing it's the catalytic convertor.

its the catalyst efficiency/ temp light. jdm ecus will trigger that light instead of the CEL when a cat code comes up. IF.... i remember correctly.... lol

JDM vehicles have a catalytic converter temp/overheating sensor. That light comes on when there's a problem.

Check out this video, and fast forward to 3:15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8cCe...eature=related
