That simply means there are confirmed DTC's saved in the PCM----you need to retrieve those "codes" in order to address the problems they indicate.

So it's got open headers basically. That is no good the exhaust has to be sealed up with pipe at least otherwise fresh air is mixing with the exhaust between pulses and messing up the O2 readings.
