The usual - are you sure the vent isn't plugged by ash you knocked down? Is the exhaust blower running? What is the exact error the stove comes up with? Is there a clogged screen on the vent pipe? It sounds like you have an airflow problem, and the common faults I just mentioned.

You cleaned the exhaust venting but did you clean the internal exhaust pathways on the the stove?

My first thought is what Lake Girl said. There are passages inside the stove that could be clogged or the blower blades for that matter. Do you have a routine schedule for cleaning your stove ?

The two "tear drops" on the back of the firebox wall should be able to swing out of the way when slightly loosened ... if you can get a brush in there that's better. Some use a bottle brush; I use a dryer lint brush but my stove is tall. I have a hose attached to my shop vac with drywall bag that I use to snake into the internal exhaust pathways. If you remove the exhaust blower, make sure you have a gasket if needed.
