Either put a scanner on and erase the code, or take the negative battery cable off to reset the computer and clear the code. I had this code twice, and it's been off now for about a year or so. And I passed emissions a few months after having the code.

Is this a after market cat? And what brand of o2 sensors did you use. Hope they are not Bosh.
