Me too.  The OXS voltage is supposed to fluctuate steadily over a few
second cycle, up and down around .5 volts.  Yours appears to be locked
into .5 v, which is probably due to the presence in the ECU of a "ghost"
voltage produced by the circuitry therein (you should be able to measure
this .5 v at the OXS harness, ECU side, with the OXS unplugged).

with it unplugged you should run ok, in the fairly decent limp home mode
of CISE3 (defaults to 0 mA).

with it working, the DPR current should flustuate as the OXS voltage
does, above and below 0 mA, btw.
