Emissions light - toxic fumes, expert advice required

Clio 182 standard spec.

Originally, I had the emissions light on continuously, after recently using simple OBD, it showed two faults - post-cat O2 sensor and pre-cat O2 Sensor.

Have replace both of these sensors as this seemed the likely problem.

Emissions light can be cleared via OBD, but appears again immediately after next start-up, just after the engine fires.

OBD again shows fault Sensor 1 (pre-cat), there are the usual fluctuating voltages coming from the sensors when engine is running so guess I got 'em plugged in OK.

I am not sure if I can read the sensor 1 fault 'what caused it' using a simple fault finding ELM327 interface to Scanmaster?

What else is there that can indirectly trigger the pre-cat sensor fault besides the lambda itself?

I am thinking that because the light comes back on immediately the engine fires - is a big clue for somebody who knows?


Just to add the engine starts and runs fine.

The wires 'felt' OK, the plug is in a sod of a place to get at, voltages are coming off the pre-cat sensor now and 'behave' something like on the trace.
Voltage was not fluctuating at all on the old sensor.
As another thought - if the heater voltage is not present on the O2 sensor (is there a fuse?) what effect would that have?
