Default O2 sensor gone bad?

Pulled 2 codes this morning from my cheapo ebay OBDII tool:

408C - Bank 1, Probe 2 no activity

4471 - Bank 1, Probe 2 Internal resistance too great

After doing some searching here, it appears the second code is related to my post-cat O2 sensor. Just wondering if code 1 is telling me its dead or? Don't want to replace the o2 if its not the cause.

No cel yet.

Yeah sorry thats from the ebay book... heres the actual #s:

P0140 O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

17522 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor: Bank 1 Sensor 2: Internal Resistance too High

I think these are the equivilent.

that's better wiring to heat not working on the O2 sensor, check wiring/connections but it sounds like the O2 sensor to me

Ok so I looked on that site and found the O2 sensors:

http://www.carpartswholesale.com/sto...l=A4%20QUATTRO

I was looking elsewhere and they wanted $150, this place only wants $30. Whats the difference?

its the "universal" that get me that's used by many companies to rip you off ( how can it be OEM if its universal ) go for the cheaper one it has to carry a guarantee like OEM just ensure you get the right one for your car with the same amount of wires
