Normally when you get a CAT convertor efficiency DTC error code it will trigger the SES light so if you can re-scan and post codes someone should be able to help you. The codes will help pinpoint the problem or get you in the right circuit. Although the sensors have been replaced it doesn't rule out the wiring and voltages both reference from the PCM and 02 sensor heater.

I have an aftermarket odb-ii compliant hi-flow CAT and never get a CAT efficiency error code but you never know about aftermarket CATs.
