2003 Mazda MPV, 3.0 V-6 engine. Check enginelight is on and antifreeze is coming out of tailpipe. What could be the problem?

It is rare to see coolant coming out of your tail pipe and if this were the case, there would be additional codes for multiple misfires and lean running condition. Moisture will come out of the exhaust system and this is normal. The code you have is probably

Overachieving Outlander
The plan is to move Outlander a little farther upscale to make room in the lineup for the new smaller Outlander Sport crossover that will go on sale this fall. The five-passenger Sport will emphasize fuel economy, a spokesman said. It should weigh about as much as a Lancer sedan (about 2,900 pounds) and will include such lightweight features as “green” plastic fenders. Outlander, Outlander Sport and Lancer share architecture.
– An aluminum roof removes about 11 pounds of metal from the top of the car to lower the center of gravity, which helps handling and lowers the risk of rollover. NHTSA gives Outlander four out of five stars for low rollover risk and five stars for both front passengers in front and side impacts. When the physics of the vehicle are improved, it reduces the need for electronic rollover mitigation, Mitsubishi says.
The third row bench is a design marvel. The seat folds flat into the cargo area and is easily released by pulling on one strap, then another. The two-child seat springs upward, and it takes a push to latch it into position. It’s not much better than a jump seat, but it does have two head restraints and gives capacity to carry two more from school, to the game or home from the mall.
Standard equipment includes: Fast Key unlock-lock and ignition, automatic climate control, third-row bench (folds into floor), Fuse system for voice-activated phone and streaming audio, dual glove box, fog lights, heated side mirrors, six-speaker audio system, steering-wheel controls for cruise and audio, 18-inch alloy wheels and touring tires and leather-wrapped wheel and shift knob
