When you got tuned the tuner should have tuned that out for you.

Yeah, it doesn't turn on every time you drive. I had the same problem when Gadiel forgot to tune it out and I threw a code every 3 days or so.

Well I clear it as soon as it turns on. And with the CEL on, usually your gas mileage goes down also.
