Default not using TPS. Turn warning light off?

If I am not using Tire Pressure Sensors in my current wheel setup is there an easy way to disable the warning message so it doesn't come on every time I turn on the car?

Thanks
Shawn

On the 1997 - 2000 cars it cannot be turned off.
So, for your 1999, that is a NO.

Yep...they changed it in 2001 with the introduction of the Z06, because they run non run-flat tires...Indy

I thought there was no way on a 1999 to do so. Thanks.
I do have the TPS but the tires are already mounted without them so I was just wondering if I have to have them remounted to put them in or if I can just say screw it.

If it were me I would install the TPS, It is nice to know if you have a tire going down, It could save you a real headache.
