Don't quote me on this, but I believe the last two O2 sensors only tell the car that the precats are/are not doing their job. The rear O2's don't actually tell the motor to change anything. The ROW flash will turn off those rear O2 sensors so they won't trigger an engine light.

Yeah, from everything I've read that's right. Again, though, I don't have the means to reprogram it. And I suspect shops in the business of working on cars would't be willing to do so---I suspect (though don't know for a fact) that that would get into legality issues.

I'm in Ohio...anybody in this neck of the woods with a Durametric, etc, that would be able to help with this? Feel free to PM. (BTW, I confess that I'm unclear on my terminology: Durametric vs PIWIS vs PST2...the distinction between them I'm a bit unclear on )
