Default Tire Pressure Sensor

I have one sensor that is bad and it is my right rear tire. Is there anyway I can disable this sensor without repairing it. I still have about a years worth of tread left but if there is no way to disable I have no problem replacing it if needed.

Thanks for your help in advance


Mike

You'll have to continue to reset / ignore the DIC messages..

If you still have run flats on the car without the monitoring of the tire sensor you will not know when you have a flat and leave yourself open to a dangerous tire failure. My suggestion is to make the Gene Culley hookup and bring the system back to full function. I would want the system to operate even if I had non run flats on the car if for no other reason that it's in the car and functioning at 75% now.
