If you are refering to the odbii_tst-switch scalar, I have a value of 250 which is off (251 is on). This turns off the rear O2's (supposedly) because I have a Dr. Gas off-road X-pipe. This worked because I never did install my MIL eliminators and I've had the X-pipe for over a year.

Now, I pulled the codes yesterday and they are:

P0156 Downstream Heated Oxygen Sensor circuit fault - Bank No. 2.
P0161 Downstream Heated Oxygen Sensor Heater circuit fault - Bank No. 2.

Obviously the switch I turned off doesn't turn off the circuit continuity check. This brings me to my next question.

If I just plug the O2 back in, but leave it hanging out of the pipe, will the heat circuit continously run? What about when the ceramics crack because of moisture, will it throw the light again?
