Has anyone else besides me?
Is this the cure for running no tire pressure sensors?
I just swapped out my tires and wheels to make a trip south, on my 1997 C5. The wheels I took off had the tire pressure sensors in the wheels.
The wheels I replaced them with does not have the TPS installed in the wheels. The valve stems in these wheels are "rubber valve stems".
It seems the DCI does not register the tire pressure because of the rubber valve stems. SO no annoying warning sound goes off, or a showing of lack of tire pressure readings. Has anyone else tried this?
Thanks

I have a Y2K, and drove it for weeks, many hundreds of miles, without pressure sensors. No bells or warning messges. If I called up tire pressure on the DIC it read xxx, but no other issues.

I swap back and forth between stock wheels with sensors and Z06 track wheels with no sensors. Around town the sensor warning never goes off since I come back to the garage where the wheels with sensors are stored. If I get 40 + miles away and some times up to 100 miles it finally goes off and then continues to do a start up warning until I get back home. It usually gives warning for all four tires at same time but once it kept reading for one wheel longer than others, no idea why.
