Extending the wiring on the sensor itself can mess with the reading. As long as you extend the harness, you're fine.

it isnt unless you do something stupid like changing the wire gauge considerably or adding like a mile of more wire. if you do either of those then youre already dumb.

It's not about resistance, it's about the sensor getting a reference sample through the standard wires. Screwing with these wires can screw up that sample, which can screw up your reading.
