Default Tire sensor

What happens if I don't put sensors back in my new rims? Nothing? Throw a code?

You will get constant mssages on the DIC that tire pressure is an issue.

Why would you consider not putting them in????????????

Because the tires are already mounted and balanced from the seller - were C5 wheels on a show Blazer. Can't that "error message" be programmed out with a handheld?

It's my understanding that if your car is '01+ you can delete this with a Tech II.

The DIC will display a warning message - you will need to hit reset each time you start up the car. "01 and above you can program the computer to prevent the message from appearing.

But, why not just run the sensors? Great safety feature.
