Funny there was a TPMS thread yesterday. Well, the answer AFAIK is "no." It'll show that code every time you start the car, you have to repair/replace the TPMS to get it to stop. I like having the TPMS info so personally I fixed it.
A poster on here had some eBay links to some very good deals on TPMS, even for the older style...I am sure they will chime in.

Why would you get a high pressure warning? The cars are rated for 32psi with the stock tires and, if anything, you run less pressure in wider, lower profile tires to keep the tread wear even. I run 30F/28R in my 19" tires.
If you're following the marking on the tire then you're looking in the wrong place. There is a sticker on the drivers door that gives the recommended tire pressures. It's in the same location for most newer vehicles

100% on the mark! I have 19" X11.5 wide Rear CCW rims. My ideal tire pressures are 28 REAR COLD!
Why on earth would you run more than that pressure??
REARS: 315/25/ZR19
Fronts: 275/30/ZR19
I run 30 Cold in the fronts.

To use the 2001+ sensors in your car, you will need to change the Remote Function Actuator to a 2001+ RFA. Not the BCM.
Here is a very good write up on the whole process.
www.gmpartshouse.com have specials on the entire kit (RFA, FOBs, connectors, sensors) all the time. Call and talk to Gene/Patrick or Jason.

If the batteries go bad in your old sensors, they can be replaced:
