What does this code mean?

My car threw it tonight.....I reset it and it hasn't come back.



By the way.......I love this car! Being able to pull codes through the DIC is SO COOL!!!!

As in my catalytic convertor may be going bad?

That would actually be a GOOD thing, time for high flow cats!!!!!

My manual says:
Conditions for setting this DTC
The PCM determines that the oxygen storage capability of the TWC (Three Way Catalytic convertor) has degraded to less than a calibrated threshold.

Cool....thanks!

Now I kinda wish I hadn't reset it though....would have made it much easier to get a new set of cats put on with that code set here in Cali......

Thanks for your help!
