Wheel sensor question.
Will the car throw a code if I throw on a set of wheels without sensors?
And if it will throw a code, can it be turned off with a TechII?
Thanks, Pete

If you have a Z06 like your username and avatar imply, no. The TPM system isn't enabled on Z06's, and Z06's didn't come with sensors in the wheels..
If you have a normal C5...then yes, you'll get a warning message at startup. Press reset and it goes away.
The TPM system can be disabled via Tech-2 on 2001-newer C5's only.

Unfortunately I have first hand experience of this pleasure. My TPM system is enabled, but I haven't had the time to install the sensors yet in the wheels.
