Your car is from California. I believe the light relates to It's a sensor around or in the catalytic converter... Let me check the book...

Aka it doesn't matter unplug it or tape over if you care.. Or go saw out the cat and put a piece of pipe in it's spot. See if the metal cover is still on it too if it's loose it will light up

I don't know where its from? I have only owned it one year. But, I do live within 10 miles of Cali. Also i just bought the light and defrost switch from A friendly Ratsuner from Washington.

$50 says it's a Cali car they put a lot of emissions garbage on there.. If it's a b210 flip down the visor it has a read about card in it.. Well mine did anyways. All I remember is don't park on oily rags or dry grass ha

Floor Temperature light was a California only thing. If you still have the original hood with an intact emissions sticker it would say California emissions.

 

The purpose was to tell you when the catalytic converter got too hot (usually when they collapse) but the sensor probably went bad and "locked" in. They called it a "Floor Temperature" because it didn't actually measure the cat temp, but the floor temperature.

Mine has it but I don't think it works anymore.

 

If the engine was missing or running poorly it could cause the cat to get hot enough to damage the carpet.
