Wondering if there is a way to bypass all 4 02 sensors so I can get the check engine light off without being dummy sensor or a whole new set t.i.a

What's wrong with it, throwing O2 sensor fault codes?

Why not just replacing the sensor properly?

Do you know for sure it's the O2 sensor? I'd just replace it with a proper O2 sensor, rather than bypassing it which could cause roadworthy issues later on...

Short answer no.

Long answer, maybe but it means paying someone to alter the tune and it will probably run worse as the pre-cat O2 sensors are the primary sensors the ECU uses when it goes into closed loop mode. So the question really is what will be cheaper.
