Default Disabling TPMS

I tried a search on this, but came up empty. I know you can enable the TPMS on a C5 Z06, but can you disable it on a C5?

Just as easy, with a Tech 2
Problem is, only one I can find is at a dealer. $80 for 2 minutes.

Only on the '01s and up. Some dealers refuse to do it for safety reasons.

only part I'd change is MOST dealers will refuse to do it ... they don't want the liability exposure ....

I tried "disable TPMS" and then just "TPMS" but came up "sorry, no matches"

Thanks, I thought you could. My local Corvette shop has a tech 2.
