Have you seen this thread? Seems you have done all of that. Possibly board issue? Kyocera 2554ci

Now that the error has persisted through the replacement of the hopper unit, you'll have to work back towards the engine. inspect the wiring and plugs for errors.

Electrical noise has been an issue with this series and 2-series. Knowing this, check and clean all the separation HV areas such as near the secondary transfer, fuser separation(of the IH coil) especially if hair or debris are in the fuser separation.

I've had several 3-series with loose screws holding the LV-PWB and other PWB's as well. The LV one uses several different ground reference points so loops and floating rails have haunted some of my fleet and even popped an engine board because of it. I typically get an additional 1/4 turn on all the screws before they suddenly snug-up.

If you take the LV-PWB out, STAY AWAY from the big capacitor. t will not drain by itself and can sting you with 380VDC. discharge it with a lamp or resistor to prevent surprises.

If they are the same, now I don't remember, you can try to invert the toner hopper with the magenta one for example, and if it happens again on magenta you will know that you have to replace the whole hopper.
If it comes back on black I would investigate the motor.

Have you tried a new k developer unit?
