Because of the relatively high current drawn by the heaters you can have problems with the contacts in the connectors.
Have you tried swapping the blue and green connectors over? If your fault moves from the down stream to up stream sensor then its the down stream sensor itself. If it doesn't, it might be the connector at the engine ECU or BSM. The BSM provides power and the engine ECU provides the ground.
The heater circuit is not critical (for the downstream sensor) and I don't think it brings on the engine light? The engine ECU wont be looking at the downstream sensor until the engine management system goes into closed loop mode anyway so the heater is virtually redundant. BUT...if you are like me, you want every thing shipshape and Bristol fashion. LOL!
