I had just had the thermostat housing and water pump replaced with brand new parts. However vehicle still overheats and it not reading on diagnostic reader. Is there a reason why it is doing that and is there a way that I could replace it myself.

It sounds like you could have a clogged radiator, stuck thermostat, coolant leak or the radiator cooling fan is not working and there is an outside change you have a blown head gasket as well. to be sure lets run down these guides to help us pinpoint and fix the issue:
