I thought someone had made a circuit to eliminate the code(s).

I thought Diego theoretically designed a circuit but never did anything about it.

I thought a few people did. Hmmm, could be wrong.

Wow, that's new and looks like it might be the fix, eh?

Default I asked about that a month ago. Got 2 replies and both said that it didn't work for them

I'm still going to try anyway. Another trick I learned from the Honda crowd is to take the sensor out and wrap it in alot of tin foil and put it back in. Not sure why it works, but it fools the ECU into thinking there's a change from the primary to secondary.
