You can't turn off the rear cats , go back and tell the tuner to turn off the rear O2s since that code is for the sensor downstream (after) the catalytic converter on bank 1

i meant the rear O2's were supposedly turned off-- Could they be and still give me this code--if not I need to discuss this with my tuner who was supposed to shut off O2's--

The tuner missed some of the codes to turn off. There are tons of them beuryed all over in your ECU. In tunercat, I was able to match the code with the actual ECU setting and turn it right off "no error reporting". Worked great.
