even though Pelican Parts website and packaging says that electronic sensors are not returnable, i reached out to them anyway and explained the problem i was having and why i thought the sensor was not compatible as advertised. thankfully, they did give me credit and i sent the $60 MEYLE part back and ordered the $120 OEM sensor.
Once i got that and installed it, the car seems fine again. been driving it around 2 days and it runs right and no CEL.
So, maybe the MEYLE sensor i received was just a bad one and another one would have worked fine, but the OEM one worked no problem. so in this instance, I'm guessing its important to use the OEM one.
