it's not a valid code on a 2000 civic. sure it wasn't a p9999? that
was a quirk in software on the si that actually meant p0420 catalyst

could be a crappy code reader.

purpose code reader gave a bad result.

Either that or Mr. independent mechanic was trying to rip you off on repairs
you didn't need.
