I had cleared the code before I took everything apart. So, since it only runs for a few seconds, I believe the ECU is not really in opportunity to throw any codes. Isn't it likely going through a number of system checks until all systems are found nominal? And since I disconnected the battery to do the repair, isn't it also going to identify that it needs to recalibrate, so isn't that going to further delay any new codes?

I haven't dived deep in the manual to be certain, but it seems like computer systems behave that way. If you have some advice on bypassing the cats safely it would be appreciated.

Again. many thanks.
But before this, did you run the car for 100 miles with the code registered ?
