Just to add to the thread:
I was running the "stock equivalent" map at the track all day with no issues. After the track (and after dinner), the CEL came on immediately with code P2A00 (borrower a reader from a fellow track junkie).
I flashed on the "stock tuned" map, and the CEL went away, and has never come back since; the CEL was over a month ago. I also had no issues while running the "stock tuned" map before the track day as well.
I have 63k miles on my CR. Should I try going back to the "stock equivalent" map and see if it pops back up? I have no power adders; the drivetrain is completely stock.

I just got the flashpro today. I have the berk hfc on my car but the CEL came on my car before I put the cats in. I'm going to take the car to the dealership for the TSB but was wondering if I need to put my stock cats in before I go. Also, do I need to wait for the dealer to fix it before I do the reflash to the Toda calibration? I think somewhere on this thread I read that the dealer does an ecu flash after replacing the o2 sensor.

It's because my warranty is already over. I have around 78k miles. And if this o2 sensor replacement is an easy DIY, I'd rather do it than take off the stock cats, go to the dealer hoping for a free fix, and reinstall the HFC...
This CEL isn't necessarily bad for your car is it? It's just annoying for the light to be on correct?

Gotcha. However, I think I'd still try to get the sensor replaced under the emissions warranty. The sensor isn't cheap, and the HFC is super quick to swap out.
I don't feel comfortable driving around with the CEL on, since it masks any NEW problems that might pop up. For example, if you start getting misfires or oil pressure errors, you really need to know it!

I'll give a few dealerships a call and see what they say. But a 10 minute job sounds much better than trying to deal w/ service managers and having downtime on my car.
But I just can't wait to get the flashpro in. I've been reading nearly every single thread with Gernby in it lol
The flashpro is able to read codes from the CEL correct? So I should be able to diagnose for sure whether the code is from the O2 sensor failing or if its a misfire, oil pressure erros, etc...

I also think you can datalog and read the code that way.

Well I just reflashed to the Toda setup and the CEL disappeared... Hopefully it stays that way. Now I need to do something about my 14.0 AFR. I'll ask this question on the relevant thread.
