I don't think I have the sensors on my wheels because they were changed out long time ago,, should I get new sensors or can you turn off the system, I have to clear it out every time I start my car?

I used a pair of ceramic magnets I bought at A.C. Moore craft store. The magnets are about diameter of a quarter, about 3/16" thick. Think I paid about $3.49. They worked fine. I placed the magnets just inboard of the tire stem against the rim.

If you confirm you dont have them, to get the system turned off , I believe you would need the GM Tech Tool which only a dealership would have, or you could check a reputable repair shop they might be able to do it for you.

IIRC you can only disable them on the 2001+ vettes. I was told it couldn't be done on mine (99) without changing to the 2001+ controller and a tech tool. OOPS. Just saw you have a 2001. It is possible to get them disabled.

I actually have one of the magnets that GM technicians use, but any reasonably strong magnet should do - and you only need one.
