This is exactly what happened to my '01 V6. The week after the DI cassette dying the CEL came on. Previous owner got it diagnosed and it was the cat. There are not really any symptoms of cat failure other than a check engine light and not being able to pass emissions. Sometime cats with tons of miles on them can get plugged up and reduce power big time but a DIC failure really won't do this. You may see some weird MPG things because I think Trionic gets some info out of the O2 sensors for the whole Ecopower thing. Get the codes read for sure before you do anything, but the good news for you is (in the US anyway) there's an 80k mile emissions warranty (unlimited time) on the cat, which is a little under $2k installed at the dealer. Good luck and keep us posted please.
