Complete Rear O2 Delete Patch (88590015)
This guide will show you how to "delete" your Rear O2 Sensor without any hardware mods. I did not create these patches; I am simply putting them all in one place to make it easier for people who want to do this.
What does this patch do?
This patch combines the "O2 heater patch" with the "Rear O2 Sim" patch which effectively deletes the rear O2 sim from your car, without throwing any CEL lights.
Full credit for these patches goes to mrfred.
These patches are for ROM ID: 88590015
Step 1
Copy and paste the following table definitions into the appropriate XML definition file for ECU Flash. The default file location is:
C:\Program Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\rommetadata\mitsubishi\evo\ 88590015.xml
Step 2
Once you add the patch, open your rom in ECU flash and verify that the data matches the listing below BEFORE you make any changes:
Rear O2 Sim Hook
E408
D525
6613
D002
400B
0009

If everything matches up, you then need to make the following changes. Just go line-by-line:
NOTE: All values are HEX, you must type 0x before each when entering them in ECU Flash. Example: 0x0009

Step 3
You are finished. Save the file and flash it to your car. If you did everything correctly you will no longer get a CEL light while running a test pipe or high-flow cat. You can also remove the Rear O2 sensor completely if you want to without any worries. You do not need to make any hardware modifications.
If your car has 885900xx and you would like to change to 88590015
My car had the 88590013 ROM which I changed to 88590015. If your car is stock and has no tuning, then you can simply download the 88590015 ROM image from the link below and flash it after adding the O2 patches. If you have any custom tuning, you would need to copy them from the existing ROM into the newer one.
In all cases the immobilizer code will also need to be copied from the existing ROM to the new one or your car will not start!

I understand this "deletes" the code, but does it disable the readyness monitor as well? In the Dodge software, you can delete the rear o2 as well, but if you go to emissions it fails due to a "not ready" status. Just wondering if you've actually tried going to pass?

There is another patch out there that you can apply which sets all your OBD-II tests to "pass". I added this patch to my rom, but I did not bother to set them all to pass yet.

If I have a problem with the inspection I'll just set it so the O2 sensor "passes" and that's that.

ive passed obd2 scan inspection with both those patches set up, no problem.
be careful setting all circuits to pass, you really need to set it to the factory settings since the car doesnt actually have obd2 monitoring of all the available choices.

Update 10/29/2011:
Passed inspection with no problems using this hack. Working great. After setting this up my car stopped throwing those annoying 0420 OBD codes.
It's not that hard to do. Download ECUFlash and buy the USB cable they sell for your particular car. That's all you need.

New here...I just found that I have ROM ID: 94170008; the most common ID seems to be 88590015. Is there a way to change my ROM ID to another? I'd really like to use this O2 patch. I just bought the car and from what I'm told it has been tuned. Looks that way from the fuel maps too...any help would be great.
thanks

I do believe there is a similar process for O2 sensor deletion that can be done with 9-series rom images, but you'll have to search these forums to find it.

you are in philly?? i dont think ive never met u before 
i found this for my 96530706
Im a little confused as to which procedure i need to go with....
First of all, are you running Tephra?
I hear this is all i need to do in a different thread. which procedure do i follow? this or yours?

So you run 96530706 and literally just did:
and changed "4A0B" to "0009" and that's it? I shall give this a try.
**edit** I tried it, it seems to work great! I have the rear o2 completely unplugged. I'll make sure nothing silly becomes of it over the next week but all seems fine for now.
Code:
<table name="Rear O2 Heater Patch" category="Mods" address="2c62a" type="1D" scaling="Hex16" />
**edit** I tried it, it seems to work great! I have the rear o2 completely unplugged. I'll make sure nothing silly becomes of it over the next week but all seems fine for now.
All you need to do is:
1) Activate Rear O2 simulator from Tephra options
2) Add following patch to your 96530006.xml to disable rear O2 heater cell (set Rear O2 Heater Cell Enable to value 0 to disable cel):
After these two steps you are able to completely remove your rear O2 sensor and wire your AEM analog output to rear O2 input. You can then datalog AEM voltage from MUT 3C and with correct equation from voltage to AFR you are directly able to datalog AFR with ie Evoscan.
1) Activate Rear O2 simulator from Tephra options
2) Add following patch to your 96530006.xml to disable rear O2 heater cell (set Rear O2 Heater Cell Enable to value 0 to disable cel):
Code:
<table name="Heater CEL" category="Rear O2" address="2c625" type="2D" level="2" scaling="blobbits">
<table name="Bit values" type="Static Y Axis" flipy="true" elements="8">
<data>N/A</data>
<data>N/A</data>
<data>N/A</data>
<data>N/A</data>
<data>Rear O2 Heater CEL Enable</data>
<data>N/A</data>
<data>N/A</data>
<data>N/A</data>

I hear this is all i need to do in a different thread. which procedure do i follow? this or yours?

I want to thank you for writing this, although I don't think I will need to use it.
My gratitude comes from someone taking the time and making specific threads for solutions which so many need instead of reading 100+ page threads and trying to find all the information that you need.
I honestly believe majority of these threads need to be rewritten and broken down based on ROM's and such, although that takes a lot of time, I'd be willing to do it if I understood everything 100%... but I don't unfortunately
