DTC 43 has nothing to do with the O2. It is due to a bad knock sensor circuit. Could be the KS itself is bad, the KS loose or not gronded properly to the block (Do not use any tape on threads), wire from KS to PCM open or shorted to ground, bad KS module in PCM.
With key ON and wire disconnected from KS you shold see 5 Volt to ground and end of wire. From sensor to ground (wire disconnected) you shold measure 3300 to 4500 OHM.
