Default Tire Pressure Sensors
I've got a '98 C5 with a "Service TPSM" coming in the dash. I had it looked at during my last oil change and they said that 2 of my tire sensors are not send a signal. It appears that the batteries only last about 10years give or take. I'm not sure that I want to replace them at about $130 a piece or around $500 for four. Question is "is there a way to disable the TPSM system with our affecting the keyless entry part of the system"?
Any help you could give would be appreciated,
TG

The system can only be turned off if the car is a 2001 or newer .... it can't be turned off on a 1998.

Also, dealer's won't turn the system off for liability reasons.

You are quoting the price for 2001-2004 sensors ... the OP needs 1997-2000 sensors ..... $418.35 shipped
