Hi,

The code simply indicates the converter is no longer doing its job. Did you reset or clear the code? It should reset itself after three consecutive ignition cycles without a problem. Are there any other codes stored?

Since everything is new, we may need to confirm the sensors are working properly. There could be a wiring issue.

Take a look through this link. It explains what to test.

Let me know if you have a live data scanner and if there are any other codes stored.

Take care,

Joe
