Default $20 O2 sensor. Who knows O2 downstream sensor heater resistance?

I install 15511 Bosch O2 sensors (about $20) on all cars.
Only once it didn't work, because Toyota sensors had 10 ohms resistance and ECM didn't "like" 15511 sensor (5 ohms), so I had to install Bosch 15122 (about $25).
If I know resistance I can pick which one to buy.
Thanks.

You could just unplug the sensor from the other bank and measure it?

Or buy one specified for the car.

I'll check pictures, fat ones have higher resistance.

That's ridiculous! They're not $100 more unless you're daft enough to go to a dealer.

If you can't afford to repair the car properly I would get rid of it and get something you can.

Putting non-stock parts on will just lead to complications in the future. All modern cars are systems of sensors. They are designed to work together.

Will it work? Maybe. Just not worth the trouble.

I also install car fuel pumps, oil filters and relays on motorcycles.
Next time I will install car tire on my bike. They last 10x longer
