Let's start over......
If the front 02's fail, you have no way of knowing it seems if the rears are shut off. If you are running rich, exhuast leak, etc then there would be no P0420/P0430, correct? Or say in Will's case, what if he had an exhaust leak and had the rear sensors shut off? He wouldn't really know, right? I get how they work, but it seems to me they are there for a reason and should be left alone so you can make sure your exhuast is healthy
My point exactly Pat.

IDK what is so complicated about it, again the fronts are the main sensors, if they fail or get bad readings they throw codes, and can throw lots of codes. Rears only monitor cat efficiency, thats all.....
