tire sensor question
my front fikse wheels (zo6 style) will not take sensors due to way rim made, question is can I run only the back sensors without getting messages of front error etc., turn only the back on-will this work????

No sensor...you are going to get the message. 
I tried to clear the code, but was not successful in doing so...similiar to what you are asking. I had sensors not reading and wanted to just tune them out or remove a fuze, but no go.
Sorry.

If your car is a model year 2001 or later, you can have your dealer edit/delete the tire pressure monitoring programs from you car's computor so you don't get the error message. For earlier model years, you're out of luck.

However, if your car is a model year 2001 or newer, you can have your dealer edit/delete the tire pressure monitoring programs from you car's computor so you don't get the error message. For earlier model years, you're out of luck.

Without all the sensors in place, you will get an error message. May have to get some band clamps and put the fronts on too.

Why not have the extra degree of warning when a tire has low pressure. I think there will be a day soon when the government makes TPS standard safety equipment on all cars.
