Oh and also i don't have the software i am just doing a **** load of research to find a solution to this issue. Will the above SES code try to run more than once? So that me and everyone else will know what to do
Assuming you are going to leave the rear O2 installed and the codes for it enabled (as they are stock); if you set the Cat Diagnostic DTC(s) to "No MIL", the test will run 1 time, set the Cat DTC, and then future tests will not run.

If you disable the Cat diagnostic codes completely, the PCM may attempt to run and re-run the tests, but I would THINK it should immediately discontinue each test as soon as it sees that rear O2 sensor go rich. I do NOT know if it will keep trying to run the test of if it will discontinue running tests for that key cycle because I never had the chance to try it.
