02 sensor heater circuit malfunction p1166

ok techies, any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, but i dont know if anyone will be able to help or not since this is relatively uncharted waters.

a little background:
kpro
01 civic lx converted to ex
boosted
using prb configuration with heated o2 widband from factory wired in with a relay(thanks skipbarber)

diagnosis:

checked for voltage all the way from ecu(2.38v cold, running) to before connector(2.38v) to after connector(2.38v). this is a brand new bosch sensor and should(yes i know) not be bad. im wondering if this is just a problem related with kpro not liking it wired the way it is, or if the sensor itsself is actually bad....

and yes, i realize i can just turn this off

Re: 02 sensor heater circuit malfunction p1166

these are the correct bosch sensor numbers and what i have on my 2k2 ex for almost a year with no engine light. they must not be switched, they are both different sensors.

primary (in downpipe) 13532
secondary (in cat) 13534

Re: 02 sensor heater circuit malfunction p1166

I'm having the same issue as well. I'm running a K-Swapped civic using K-Pro. Try doing this. Disable P1167 in the closed loop section, and it should get arid of your P1166 code. Except now it should be pulling up a P0134 code if we have the same problem. If we in fact do have the same problem, then i can help you out with going forward with it.

Also don't replace the sensor with anything besides a factory OEM one. The primary should be wideband and the secondary should be narrowband.
