Re: Troubles with OBD II - HURRY
 

The trouble is, the dealership is closed and it's my friend's car stuck in
my garage. I bought some silicon wires that are pretty nearly the same
diameter as the factory wires, and they solved the trouble and they have a
life time warranty.

I have to agree that this is one of the few places where it pays to buy
parts at the dealership though.

Re: Troubles with OBD II - HURRY
 

It's fixed. Sorta. I bought a set of wires from AutoZone because the
dealership is closed by now. The problem is solved and the code reader reset
the code and it didn't come back. The resistance of the new wires was
considerably more uniform than in the old wires. I don't know if this is
because the old wires are made to a different standard, or they were close
to failure among the entire set.
