Well, I took it to another shop and the code is po 143 (shorted wire or ecm) They said I need a new computer and the dealer will have to flash it. Make sense? I don't know what to do. In the meantime, the car drives great.

Codes can vary between make and model to some degree although they were supposed to become standardized with OBDII.

Take a look at that link which gives a different meaning related to the sensor. Was that the only code? Autozone will check them for free.
I need to renew my AllData or I would check it for you.
It could possibly make sense, the new computer. Is that the sensor they already replaced:? Was it a GM? I checked many at local parts stores and they did not have a many fluted on the sensor possibly slowing sensing.
There are multiple O2 heater fuses as I recall. (you would likely get another code if the heater was not working. There are maybe 6 or 8 codes for each sensor)
Was the wiring verified? Dirt or debris cleaned from connector before the new one was plugged?
Usually there will be some indication such as hesitation, stumble, etc. with a bad circuit. Maybe the computer is smart enough to use data from the other bank collectively with the last two sensors.
If you are at all mechanically inclined I would recommend getting All Data subscription.

Have 130K on my 97. Still original AT fluid. Count-down display still shows 100%.

Has anyone run into this before me?

AT Fluid - showing 100% after 130K miles by txshadow12

Have a '98 with same situation. That function has not worked (rest of auto is 100% functional) since day one. After conferring with multiple mechanics, all agreed with ignoring the readout and change fluid according to mfg's recommendations. Just don't do a flush; change AT fluid and filter only after you're at > 75,000 miles.

My 1998 is the same......100% on the transmission fluid life since new. I am fairly certain the owners' manual scheduled maintenance lists 150,000 miles as the first change under "normal" driving conditions.

seat preset by brinwood

the way I do it. while parked in park, put seat where you want it and press the button, either 1 or 2, then press set.
now the seat will go to that position when you have changed it and want to go back to the preset.
you can't do this when the car is being driven.

Just to add to what brinwood said, don't forget that the car came with two sets of keys/remote key fobs. One set of keys/fob controls memory button 1 and one set memory button 2.
 
And don't forget to also set the driver's and passenger's mirrors before you hit the set button. They are controlled by the same memory.
