Default Bought a rear O2 sensor off ebay, but the heater resistance is not correct..

I bought a denso universal O2 sensor from ebay. Checked the heater resistance
and it is 5.4 Ohms. The manual says 11-16 Ohms. What you think? My guess is
that it is not that bad if the resistance is below the spec vs. above the spec, am I right?

The sensor must be at least 68 degrees for the 11-16 ohms.
At full operating temp of 1472 degrees it should read 23-32 ohms.


If it's not in spec it's bad!

I checked it at room temp which was 72 degrees. So I guess I should
see some reading above 11 Ohms.

Room temp is ambient air metered at wherever your air temp sensor is. Try heating your sensor up on the stove or with a propane burner to test.

On things like o2's, fuel filter spark plugs etc. I would stick to OEM products, see if you can return it and get the rite one, hope it helps
