No it's not. This is specifically an O2 sensor malfunction lamp.

The replacement oxygen sensor that was installed is defective, or there is
a poor connection somewhere (corrosion or wire breakage).

Ach, Danny Chauhan is right. I forgot to mention if the sensor has alrady
been replaced, disconnect the battery for ten seconds to clear the light if
it's still on.

I don't know if Isuzu (the Passport's actual maker) uses the sort of radio
anti-theft code Honda uses, but it's worth checking for that BEFORE
disconnecting the battery!
