08 Z06 Active handling
Is there any way to get active handling turned off in a Z that does not have TPMS? My CCW wheels that I use on the track TPM sensors are dead and the AH ruined my day last week and I don't really want to spend the $$ for new sensors. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

Do some research on here, you'll find lots of info that has been rehashed many many times. Then check the classifieds for the canister setup I'm selling. I'll even sell the scan tool at a good price to go with it.

After playing around with this setup for a day I pulled the close out panel from under the dash and disconnected the steering sensor connector. Since you have an 08 it will have the recall orange comb already installed from the factory. That comb can be tough to get out. It took about a half hour of monkeying around to get my connector disconnected. What you will see when you start the car is a warning message that the TPMS system needs service followed by a Service Active Handling message if you hit the reset. Push the console button once to turn off Traction Control and reset any other warning messages and you will be ready to use the DIC to monitor oil temp, etc.
If you have your street tires near the car you may not always get the Service TPMS message.
I am looking into a relay for the steering sensor low reference signal so it will be easier to switch it off and on. I don't think you want to unplug and plug the steering sensor too often due to the limited number of cycles the connector pins are spec'd for.
