ok so,

my 2001 is throwing 2 codes stating that both of my o2 sensors have malfunctioning heater circuits. i only have the upstream sensor installed and the resistance across the heater wires is 16 ohms, i'm getting 12 volts on the black/yellow wire when the sensor is unplugged and 12v to both the black/yellow and black/white when plugged. supposedly this means it isn't grounding via the ecu. my question is, instead of replacing the ecu, can i simply ground the sensor on the body and allow the heating element to run at all times? how will this affect the life of the sensor and the efficiency?

 

I'd like to kno how u fix this also bc I'm having the same issue. In only answer I'm getting from other s2k owners is to buy a standalone.

 

i can't find a straight answer anywhere:|
