2003 SR5 4runner. A few months ago, after dealing with the cel light, vsc trac and vsc off lights coming on and staying on, I finally broke down and got the catalytic converter replaced after the obd code P0430 was diagnosed. Had to do it or wouldn't pass inspection. Well, after about 1,000 miles here are all the lights back on again! Took it to a shop and they checked the code and came up with P0430 again!! Not the original shop where I had the new cat put in a few months ago. Since the same code P0430 came up again, does it mean it's the same cat? My original repair shop receipt says the cat they replaced is warrantied for 25,000 -- it's only been 1,000. Thanks for any ideas!

Mystery solved -- the mechanic replaced the wrong cat converter!! he replaced the rear left (secondary) instead of the front left (primary). Lesson learned: get a second (or third or fourth) opinion.
