I've encountered this before-- my bet is that you have voltage bleeding over from the heater circuit to the sensor side. You should only see swings from about 0.1-0.9VDC from the sensor itself. I had a similar problem with a nearly new universal Bosch sensor-- I was seeing 1.3 or 1.4V on the sensor line. Replacing the sensor fixed it.
With the bad sensor I was getting 1-1-3 on the OBD. My car was a '92 245. This car was intermittently undrivable-- it hesitated very badly and would suddenly surge back to life.
Good luck!
