Check your vaccuum switching valve. It's hard to reach, but if you remove your passenger side front tire and look up on the block you will see it. I did this on my 99 Camry. Hard to reach, but the code should go off after you replace it.

I've had P0401. It has nothing to do with the catalytic converter.  I would avoid that mechanic, as it seems as though he was trying to rip you off. When I initially got it, I removed the EGR valve, which is the circular object where you we're hearing the hissing, and cleaned it. That temporarily fixed the issue. At a later time, the light came back on. This time, through diagnosis, I found that the EGR vacuum switching valve had gone bad. Replacing it eliminated the problem.
