Default TPS disconnect from Computer

I recently put new wheels on a 2000 and the TPS were not a perfect fit so I decided to do without them. How do I disconnect this function from the computer so I stop getting the low pressure warning.

Thanks!

YOU don't, you need to find someone with a Tech II programmer to program it out. Probably CHEAPER to put the sensors in.

You may not be able to disable the TPS on a 2000, I think this is only possible on 2001 and newer.If you post this in the Scan & Tune section you might get a better answer.

If you still have the original sensors, I can rebuild them for you. Just drop me a PM if I can help.
