OXS light staying on with new lambda sensor

I fitted a de-cat pipe, new silencer and lambda sensor. On startup the OXS light and battery light stay on. They both go out after 20 mins or so of driving, is this normal or am I missing something?
All parts from Brickwerks so are the correct replacements.
Thanks
David

You need to reset the silly box half way down the speedo cable.

So US spec van?
The box merely measures a certain number of miles (30k?) since it was last reset. It dates back to the days when lambdas were much less robust and long-lived than they are now... Think it must've been a US legal requirement, since Saab did the exact same setup on US-spec 900s.

It looks that way doesn't it. From reading the samba it looks like laws vary from state to state when it comes to emissions.

Think it's basically "California vs the other 49"
