It is an environmental thing. It basically means that there is a leak somewhere in your oxygen/recycling/enviro system. I had this happen a while back, and it turned out to be my main DPFE sensor. Cost $0 for labor and $99 for the part. Don't forget to diconncect the battery for five minuted after the service. This resets the competer and turns that annoying light out. My guys didn't do this, so when I got back inthe car...the lights was still on. Fortunately I already knew what to do. You may have something different wrong, but you will need to reset to get that light off. Good Luck!
