APR/AWE/Techs - Resistance of a properly functioning rear O2 sensor heating circuit?

Snapped my rear O2 sensor in half on a bump.

Despite rear O2 delete in flash, I have a CEL for the rear circuit warming sensor.

So a little modification, then -- can somebody provide this figure? Is an inline resistor is a workable fix, or can just shunt it like a brakepad wear sensor?

Not entirely sure which wires, either. :wub: Plz?

Thanks guys.

No software disables the rear 02 sensor, it must remain fully installed and functional on any tune I am aware of so a broken wire needs to be repaired or the sensor replaced.

Simply repair with a good quality crimp connector that has heat shrink tubing. Do not solder 02 sensor wires as it will alter the resistance and throw off the readings.





I actually have to do this tonight on my mk4, apparently my GF forgot she was driving a car 2" off the ground not 2' (we have a TJ also) and ran over a huge stick in our driveway after a storm ripping the wires. Drive to work this morning was not fun!

Thank you for the reply, Chris.

I'm afraid this one won't be quite so simple due to the nature of the damage.
