Service Tire Mon Sys HELP NEEDED!!
I have a '99 and I need help to reset the computer. It keeps telling me to service the tire monitor system. I think the dealer may have ruined my sensor in my passenger front tire. Is there a way I can stop the message from coming up? I check my tire pressure about once a week and it's fine. Thanks for any help. Annette

You can only turn it off in '01 and newer. Won't work in '97-'00. It This update to the BCM was rolled out when the Z06's were introduced in '01. As they don't run the TPM system but use the same BCM, the option to de-activate was needed.

it didnt even come on for 90 days after I took them out I guess that's why whenever we name our cars, we always give them female names. Finicky, illogical, inpredicatble, and defying explanation. Sometimes signals get lost or mis-understood.
Hope the weather is good over there. Its looking great here, so Yvette & I are heading out!
