Turn off TPMS with VXDIAG

Has anyone used a VXDIAG Nano GM to turn of the TPMS on an '02 C5? Looking at purchasing one and wanted to make sure it would work like a tech2 for disabling the tire pressure sensor messages.

I didn't know a TECH2 would turn off the TPMS.

My 2000 since I’ve had it reads blank on all sensors don’t know if they were set up when the previous owner put new tires on or not, but I don’t miss them going off like on other vehicles. Maybe I’ll be sorry sometime.

Only 2001+ can the TPMS sensors be disabled. With the introduction of the Z06 in 2001 GM changed the RFA module to allow the TPMS to be disabled.

Are you aware of them not working until you're moving? I think it's to save the batteries, but on my 2000 model they read nothing until moving around 5-10mph.

I'm tired of the service tpms message every time i start my car. Probably could get temporary use of a tech2 to disable the tpms monitor but if the VXDIAG Nano would do it I will make the purchase.
Anyone with any experience here?

I agree don’t like any of the messages popping up that’s why I never tried to program them with a magnet

The strong magnet works every time! Try getting one from a trans repair shop. They're black, and look like a donut. They come in OEM trans pans to grab metallic particles.
Slip them over the stem, they are strong, and they work great!!

I used it to turn mine on with tech2win on my Z06, so you should be able to turn them off. However I’d try to fix it first.

I think they need to see rotation to turn them on, or you need to sync them, before they will read.
