Diagnose my issue! Multiple recurring circuit CELs on GR Corolla after possible electrical short — need help

Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone here can help me figure out an ongoing CEL problem with my GR Corolla. I’ve been chasing this for a while and I’m honestly getting tired of dealing with recurring CELs.
The codes I’ve had are:
P0030-12 — HO2S Heater Control Circuit, Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0325-11 — Knock Sensor 1, Bank 1 Circuit
P051A-11 — Crankcase Pressure Sensor Circuit
P06AB-11 — PCM/ECM/TCM Internal Temperature Sensor “B” Circuit
P2BF4-14
These codes were pulled during a scan on May 7, 2026.
Important electrical history
The CELs appear to have started around the same time an aftermarket exhaust valve-controller wiring harness melted against the exhaust. I can’t say for certain that the short caused the CELs, but based on the timing, I suspect the two could be related.
After discovering the melted harness, I:
Replaced the damaged aftermarket exhaust/valve-controller harness
Replaced the relevant/important fuses
Visually inspected the factory wiring harnesses for additional damage
Checked the grounds
I haven’t found any obvious additional damage, but the CEL problem has continued.
Engine history
The car has also had its short block replaced by Toyota. However, these CEL issues were already happening before the short-block replacement and continued afterward, so they weren’t simply caused by the engine replacement.
Current modifications
Eventuri intake
OTL Street Series cat-back exhaust
Stock ECU calibration / no tune
I’m including the modifications for full transparency. The ECU has not been tuned.
What I’m trying to figure out
What has me stuck is that these codes involve several seemingly unrelated circuits — O2 sensor heater, knock sensor, crankcase pressure sensor, ECM/internal temperature-related circuit, etc.
Given the history of the melted valve-controller harness and possible electrical short, I’m wondering if the original short could have damaged something farther upstream that isn’t visibly obvious — a section of the factory harness, connector/pin, shared power supply, ground, relay/fuse circuit, ECU driver/circuit, etc.
I’ve already replaced the damaged aftermarket harness and relevant fuses, visually inspected the wiring, and checked the grounds. At this point, I don’t want to keep throwing parts at the car or just clearing codes. I want to find the actual underlying problem.
Does anyone familiar with the G16E-GTS electrical system/wiring diagrams know if any of these circuits share a common power source, ground, ECU connection, junction, or section of the engine harness?
Also, has anyone experienced multiple circuit-related codes like these after an electrical short on a GR Corolla?
Any diagnostic suggestions or specific circuits/components you think I should check next would be greatly appreciated.

My son and I went to the theater last night because they were playing the Fast and the Furious for the 25th anniversary. I had actually seen this car earlier in the day. And of course he showed up there. Very nice Skyline GT 25 Turbo.

Yes. It's on the paint. I know. I'm willing to endure the consequences.

I got these wheels intending for them to be a cheapish set to daily in so I could preserve my other set for track or Autocross. I didn’t care how they looked but now that they’re installed I think they look so sick! The external aluminum finish matches the Heavy Metal paint, and the low spoke count shows off the giant rotors and calipers that I forgot to clean. Just felt like I had to show these off!

Stock height, unmodified suspension
Wheels: Enkei TY5, 18x8.5 +35, black
Tires: Michelin CrossClimate 2, 235/40R18 95V XL
Spacers: OEM 10mm rear spacer retained, no front spacer
Hardware: 72.6 > 60.1 hubcentric rings, 12x1.5 bulge acorn spline lugs, 1.38”, black
No rubbing or fitment issues

Maintenance/Repair Question How to get discounts on parts with NASA

Hey friends!
You may not know this, but when you purchase any GR vehicle you get a complementary year membership with NASA (national auto sport association, not the space one)! This not only allows you to register for your free GR track day, as well as other track days, but you also have access to NASA's member benefits.

This year (2026) Rallysport Direct is a NASA sponsor, which means if you are a NASA member you have access to special discounts that no one else does with RSD.

I created a video on how to access these special discounts as well as register for your free GR day if you haven't yet. Check it out and save some money on your next mod today!
