Default Tire Pressure Reading

I just put on new wheels and tire without the tire pressure sensor and Im showing 43lbs of pressure on dash. How do I reset this so that it is not showing a false reading?

That's odd. If you have no sensors, it should be chiming with a warning and showing XXX on the pressures. Did you drive it yet?

This is what I got after driving xxx. What am I going to do when it shows low tire pressure and reduce engine power?

Your fine. You will not get R.E.P. Only thing is that as soon as you drive, you'll get the Low Tire Pressure warning chime. You'll need to hit the reset button or you'll need a tuner to disable the warning message.

My tuner told me that he had took it out but I guess we'll have to give it another try next week.
