You changed the transmission sensor to eliminate the error message, but did
you do anything else to the transmission to actually fix the error that was
being displayed?

I have the same car with 140k miles. I keep getting false oil pressure
sensor and tail light error messages. Both items are working fine. They want
a fortune to fix the dash and it's not worth it.

Is it the dash that's at fault??

Check battery volts - may be low.
