Sure you can. You will get a mesg on the dic every time you start it saying service tire monitor system. You hit the reset button and it goes away. I have been running no sensors for a year now with no issues.

Mine is the same way. I have aftermarket wheels and the previous owner put them on. sensors didn't fit or something so he just tossed em. I get the service tire monitor system message every time I start the car too, but I just hit reset.

you can go to the dealer and have them turn off the sensors so you won't be bothered with that..............
