O2 Sensor after catalytic converter

[flood404]

I have a 2009 Aveo5 1.6L. The O2 sensor after the catalytic converter wires were cut by a sharp edge of the splash guard. It also torn a single wire right up to the sensor which I can't splice them back together.

So I ordered a $17.50 universal sensor that was supposed to work on this car. A direct fit one by BOSCH is $181 and the NTK ones are even more.

I am getting a P0054 - HO2S Heater Resistance Bank 1 Sensor 2 now.

Can anyone tell me here what is the factory o2 sensor heater resistance is supposed to be?

The only thing I can think of is a crappy soldering job I did on the heater wires. I know the o2 sensor is supposed to pull oxygen through the wires but that would should not effect the heater resistance.

I had the resistance code as well when I replaced my upstream sensor with a universal. This car simply does not like universal sensors it seems. Bite the bullet and buy the direct fit.

The link below is for an OEM direct fit sensor.

Well I will be damned. This 2009 belongs to a cousin of mine. I think I might have to order it for her since she might not be able to afford it. I found one that is ACdelco direct fit for $120 Part number 213-4551 which looks exactly what I removed.

I also have a friend who owns a 2004 Aveo and we used a universal one on there for the upstream and it threw a code for slow response had to get a OEM one to make the ECU happy again. I thought it was a fluke for the 2004 not liking the universal. It baffles me on why they even sell universals claims they will work when it causes issues like these.

Bosch O2 sensor on RockAuto is $62.

I heard bad things about Bosch sensors. It looks like the Aveo5 used NTK O2 sensors from the factory and I found the same exact one or $75. On Amazon NTK 25709 O2 sensor. I would rather spend the extra $15 over a Bosch to get the correct one this time.
