Ok, the sensor itself tested correctly coming in at 13ohms, same as the original. Haynes says between 10-40 ohms. BUT, the part numbers are not the same. The original is 234000-2030, the new one is 234000-2031. Im leaning on jweller's from E-H.com thought that the sensors are not the same between the different years. Also, the bottom numbers are not the same either.

Im getting 12V to the heater circuit. Although, when I used the ground on the PCM side of the sensor harness I couldn't get a stable reading. I used the negative battery post, clean 12V reading. I don't know if that has something to do with the fact that the ECU doesnt take a reading in open loop, think that might be affecting the problem?? Haynes doesn't say to even use the ground on the harness, but when I tried using it it was all over the place. Not putting much weight into it.
