A code P0161 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
HO2S heater power circuit open
HO2S heater ground circuit open
HO2S signal tracking (due to oil or moisture in the connector)
HO2S is damaged or has failed PCM has failed
Possible Solutions:
Replace HO2 Sensor
Repair open or short in power circuit
Repair open or short in ground circuit
Repair damaged connector due to tracking

I know you probably looked this up already, but from what you are describing and what you have done, I would look into using an electrical contact cleaner on the harnesses and see if that helps. you might have moisture or gunk in the harnesses. might have to inspect the wiring and repair/replace if needed
