How To Bypass Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit
If you get the engine code for the heated oxygen sensor malfunctioning, and you want to
bypass the oxygen sensor heater circuit. In this method, you need to bypass the oxygen
sensor by attaching the resistor of specific resistance with the heater circuit of the oxygen
sensor, which is explained below.
The oxygen sensorʼs heater circuit is used to heat the element of the oxygen sensor in
order to produce a voltage signal that reflects the oxygen levels in the exhaust. When this
circuit does not work, the oxygen sensor will not be able to heat the sensor up to its
proper operating temperature and will not produce a voltage signal, which can cause the
engine to run poorly and can cause to show the check engine light.
Adding a resistor to the heater circuit of the oxygen circuit leads the car computer into

believing that the O2 sensor is functioning properly. You may avoid having the check
engine light on all the time by bypassing the oxygen sensor.
Following are the steps that should be followed for bypassing an oxygen sensorʼs heater
circuit in your vehicle.
• First of all, the vehicle must be cooled down, if the engine was operating. As this work
is related to the engine as well as the emission (exhaust), for that reason, the vehicle
has to be at the normal temperature for the safety of the operator.
• Now, remove the oxygen sensor with o2 sensor removal, and check the wires of the
oxygen sensor. There will be two wires of the heater circuit connecting with it.
• Now, Place the resistor between the two wires of the heater circuit according to the
oxygen sensor resistance value. You can check the oxygen sensor resistance by
checking the heater circuit with a multimeter. Most oxygen sensorsʼ heater circuits have
around 5, 6, or 7 ohms resistance.
• Now, solder the resistor to the heaterʼs positive and negative wire and then cover it with
tape to avoid injuries and for safety as well. You can connect the resistor in any
direction.
• After that, drive the car at a slower speed so that the electronic control module will get
the data from the oxygen sensor and will hide the check engine light.
When the sensor is functioning properly, the resister will provide signals to the computer.
Most people can figure it out because it is really straightforward.
