    Can I put the wide band sensor in place of one of the o2 sensors while tuning?

    My question is, like the title says, if I can temporary remove one of the o2 sensors and put the wide band sensor in its place while tuning? The engine is a LS1 with headers and no cats. I'm trying to avoid welding in an extra bung.

    You can, yes.


    But you must tune in open loop if you wish to do so.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    Also as a precaution, No Report all (not just Sensor 2) the OS sensor DTC's as a precaution as well. Have seen funny results with various platforms when we did this.

    I have installed wideband in place of OEM front O2 sensor, and ran output 0-1V narrowband simulator from Innovate MTX gauge back to sensor pigtail.. PCM seems to be happy with the data stream, makes trims as normal.
