Unhappy Help - EGT Sensor on an 03 WRX

I recently modded my other half's WRX and stuck on my 03 STi Turbo and Up-Pipe. As the STi has no EGT Sensor there is no hole in the up-pipe so the egt sensor was removed. The car was remapped (EcuTek) and ran fine for a couple of weeks. But then the CEL light came on, when we checked the fault code it was form the egt but as there is no egt sensor in, so surely there is a way of stopping this using the EcuTek Software?
