How to quickly test an O2 sensor signal wire for opens and shorts when no scan data is available. This test is very useful in identifying wiring harness integrity when you have an oxygen sensor signal that is either fixed high or low. You can actually use your body as a resistor instead of a test light if that makes you more comfortable.
