How do I bypass transmission sensor on my 1996 eldorado , the transmission works perfect, was told that the sensor is bad. The computer code is p0717. Is there a quick fix to keep the ( service transmission light and service engine light from staying on .

Hello mrsalbert, my name is JShreader. Thank you for choosing fixya.com
Depending on which oxygen sensor you are looking for...there are several of them throughout the Exhaust System. I will start out by giving you a brief description of what and oxygen sensor is, and they're general purpose.
DESCRIPTION
Four Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) are
mounted in the exhaust system where they monitor the oxygen content in
the exhaust stream. There is an oxygen sensor mounted in each exhaust
manifold and one on each end of the catalytic converter. the oxygen
sensor located in the front exhaust manifold is the Bank 2 Sensor 1
(Front) sensor. The oxygen sensor located in the rear exhaust manifold
is the Bank 1 Sensor 1 (Rear) sensor. The oxygen sensor located in the
Y-pipe ahead of the catalytic converter is the Bank 1 Sensor 2
(Pre-converter) sensor. The oxygen sensor located in the catalytic
converter outlet is the Bank 1 Sensor 3 (Post-converter) sensor.
OPERATION
An oxygen sensor acts like a battery because it creates its own signal
voltage once it reaches operating temperature. This voltage is produced
when the oxygen content in the exhaust stream is different than the
oxygen content in the atmosphere. A lean condition (high oxygen content
in exhaust) will produce a low voltage (near 0 volts) and a rich
condition (low oxygen content in exhaust) will produce a high voltage
(near one volt). The PCM provides a reference signal voltage (0.45
volt) and a ground to the sensor. The PCM reference voltage is
necessary because the oxygen sensors do not provide their own voltage
until they reach operating temperature.
HEATING ELEMENT
the oxygen sensors also incorporate a heating element inside of the
sensor housing. This heating element is energized with the ignition On
and allows the sensors to reach operating temperatures quickly. The PCM
can then use oxygen sensor information sooner after engine start-up.
PCM INPUTS
The PCM uses oxygen sensor information during Closed Loop operation to
constantly adjust fuel control to reduce exhaust emissions. Because the
oxygen sensors provide information sooner after engine start-up,
exhaust emissions are reduced. Faulty oxygen sensors will cause various
driveability conditions and will set a DTC.
That being said...I uploaded a .pdf for you of pictures showing the locations of ALL the oxygen Sensors on your Vehicle. You can download it by clicking HERE.
I hope this helps you. If you have any more questions or need any more diagrams, please don't hesitate to ask...Thanks again, JShreader!
SOURCE: replacing bad camshaft position sensor
Reverse procedure to install and prior to installing new sensor, lubricate sensor O-ring.
It is located under the water pump. Make sure when you remove the sensor that you rotate the crank shaft and look in the hole to make sure the pick up magnet is still in there. Sometimes they come loose and cause a no start or long crank. You will need to have the code cleared still.
SOURCE: Service Engine soon light Code P0133
I just came from an Autozone, and then spoke with 2 Hyundai dealership service departments and they all three stated the P0113 code is the Intake Air Temperature sensor (IAT, also referred to as the Mass Air Pressure - MAP - sensor) on the engine, not an O2 sensor found in the exhaust system.
SOURCE: fault codes P0722 and P0717
You just need to replace the sensors. If you are mechanically inclined, you can do it yourself. If you don't feel comfortable working on an expensive transmission, take it to the dealer.
The computer wants to know if the transmission is working properly. So it reads the speed of the input shaft and compares it to the speed of the output shaft. It knows which gear you're in because it commanded the transmission to shift into that gear. So, with the input speed, the gear selection, and the output speed, the computer can calculate how efficiently the transmission is working. If the speed is off, it knows that something is slipping inside the transmission. It can then try to boost the fluid pressure to compensate. If that doesn't work, it sets a different trouble code.
The P0717 code means that the computer isn't getting any signal from the sensor. Either the sensor is dead or there's a circuit issue (bad wiring, etc).
