Just checking back in Mark to see if you've made any progress.

Spoke to a friend on the lambda fault and we both agree it's a wiring/cable issue.

been on vacation. gonna order the oxygen sensor after this reply, the MIL keeps coming on after filling up with gas. So this irritation must end. Hoping it would just go away. I have replaced o2 sensors before and have the special socket, i imagine its a pain and have seen a special tool at ecs automotive, hope i dont need it. I will holler back when im done, i think i will order that v300 switch also, thanks for the help jake

WELL, i spent all fricking day on that POS and reset all DTCs, cleared the MIL, started it up with no MIL, then before shifting into drive, the MIL came back on, am I doing something wrong, did i just waste my day and money on a new O2 sensor, you were saying it was a wiring issue, WTF

How does the wiring harness to the O2 sensor look ?
I suspect there is physical damage, e.g. crushed, broken, frayed wire...

No fuse.
Are you still getting the 008753 ?
008753 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1
P2231 - 004 - Signal Shorted to Heater Circuit - Intermittent - MIL ON
You're going to have to trace that wire all the way back unfortunately.
Continuity and/or tone tests will help find the issue
