It'll be the only other wire coming out of your exhaust that isn't the oxygen sensor. More than likely just behind the firewall

Comes on whan the cat is too hot,

which can be cause by fuel getting into to from a missfire, or the cat is partially blocked, or lots of other reasons.

Dont just remove the light as there is a problem somewhere.
May have to get the cat removed.
