Accidentally turned F45 back on, help.

The downside to just removing and zip tying the shock sensor is IF anything still connected such as the wheel position sensors malfunctions you will get codes and you will get limited to 80mph and you will have to repair it. Why anyone would leave all those sensors, wiring and the module in the car is beyond me. Delete it remove it and you are done forever.

Don't the wheel position sensors have to be there regardless so if they have issues it's gonna get codes and you still have to fix that issue regardless. I just posted another way around the situation for free. Don't like it don't use it. What works for me may not work for you. But it's a option and not everyone may have access to a tech 2 or maybe short on cash for expensive simulators or can find resistors or have a soldering iron. Different way to skin a cat bro. If your wheels sensors go out you still gotta fix that problem shocks or no shocks..

This may be for a different model but I could swear I saw an ad for a small device that fools the system into thinking it is the (F45?) shock absorber. You just plug it into all four corners and the car operates as normal.

My car disagress and says it's right and so does everyone else's that have done it this way .. I don't get any codes..You just ziptie the sensor out of the way. I am running c6z06
This isn't my idea I got it from here https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-on-c5.html..I also talked to rv13 earlier and he answered some questions for me. Thanks again man!!! Basically you unhook the shock and the plug so you have the whole thing in front of you..
and you take a punch or screwdriver and hit the holes in a counter clockwise position and it starts to unscrew. It took me a few wacks for it to break free. Unscrew it and wiggle the sensor out.You may have to pop that piece to the right off with a flat head. I did...
Once your done just plug it back up and ziptie the wires out of the way. You can actually attach the sensor rubber piece on the side of the brake line where you popped the other part off its a perfect fit. I have no codes and I sat there for 30 minutes unhooking it and hooking it up to see if it would throw any codes. the only time it did was when I disconnected it from the harness. SO I am a happy camper..

Now that I read this thread I think that might be the tpms box and wires. Also I have no tpms sensors just regular stems, but that's another problem for another day.

Ryan, we can try to do it again based on the input of clearing codes with the Tech 2.
You should not have to do the resistors.
That may also be why we could not delete the TPMS wither.
My time is free, I already have my beer from you.
