    So I’ll keep it short. I broke a thermistor, while replacing 2 modules and want to know if it’s possible to just splice the wires into one of the other 2? Would it get significant signal back . Or would it still throw an error code?

    Fix it right, or don't fix it at all.

    Yeah thanks very helpful. It’s my personal car I’m not trying to flip it. what difference would it make if it only had 2 not 3 sensors. Would the battery blow up? Wait to late.. that already happened. I’m just trying to move it into the garage before the city tows it. So I’ll go ahead and let you know how it went Brian.
