that code should be ok... Its the codes that start with a "C" that you really have to worry about.

Check the wires for torn boots, burnt boots, ripped torn wires or in some cases just a sparkplug boot that is not properly pushed on to the plug or coil tower. He will be able to drive the car a short distance but performance and fuel mileage will be very poor. If you drive the car without fixing it first you can seriously damage the CATS.

If he has access to an ohm meter, each OEM wire should read between 250-750 ohms.
