Getting a few error Codes that I can't find a fix for. Error Codes are 2A6C, 2A6E on Foxwell Mini Specific scanner and P3012, P3024 on my generic scanner. I have replaced the O2 sensors with OEM ones already and I am at a loss.

Here are the code descriptions and repair:

DTC - 2A6C
Symptom Descriptor
O2 Sensor Signal Circuit Adaptation Value Too High (b1 S1)
Probable Causes
Digital Motor Electronics (DME) Control Unit

DTC - 2A6E
Symptom Descriptor
O2 Sensor Initialization Error Wraf-ic (bank 1 Sensor 1)
Probable Causes
Digital Motor Electronics (DME) Control Unit

Both are pointing to a bad DME unit, here is the location and how to replace it in the diagrams below. You will need a rebuilt DME which you can get by checking eBay or google to find a rebuilder, there are many, have your VIN ready. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
