Default P0420 after spouting radiator

2001 Lexus LS430.

This weekend, I thought I'd take a nice trip out of the city to Beacon in much need of country.

All of a sudden my car overheats, so I pull over at a gas station, pull up the hood, and notice that coolant is spouting out of the seams. I cab to Yonkers, pick up a new radiator, cab back, spend 8 hours assembling the damn thing, and get going.

The car starts but I get a CEL and VSC Off. P0115. I check the hoses and notice that the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor burnt off. Drive home with a burnt ECT. During the week while moving my car for alternate side parking I'm having a really hard time starting - the car is barely starting. Yesterday I put a new ECT on and it starts up like a treat, yet the VSC off and CEL are still on, as is the code. What gives?

Apologies the title is meant to be P0115.

So it runs fine now, right?

Did you reset the codes? So they come right back after reset?
