Default Check Engine Light Q...

So here's the deal. My '01 T/A kept throwing codes at me for failing o2 sensors, so I replaced them with sims, and now I'm a different code is there, stating that there is no activity from the sensors. I've been told that there is a way to "turn off" the rear sensors, which would fix my problem and turn the damn light off that's been on for a year.

The car runs fine, no idling issues or anything, and I still get decent gas mileage.

I guess I'm asking where I need to go to get this done, or what I need to do it myself?

Thanks

get the rear o2s deleted. any tuner can do it and get yourself some nice kooks longtubes
to do it yourself you'd need an hptuner and 2 credits or you can take it to somebody and have it done for 100-300 as opposed to buying the stuff and doing it for about 600. however if you bought it for yourself and had help from an expert you can use the tuner as often as you want.
