Default Service Tire Mon. Sys. -how to disable?

I just got new wheels (see sig. :D ). Anyways, I am not installing the tir pressure sensors in the new wheels but may in the future. Everytime I drive, the warning "Service Tire Mon. Sys." comes up on the DIC and is annoying as hell. Can I disable this myself and how? Also, if disabled, can I install it again in the future if I want to put the sensors on my wheels later? Thanks in advance! :seeya

It is an option that is easily turned off with the Tech II. You can contact a local dealership to see if they will do it. It takes about 60 seconds.

i was under the impression from stuff i have read here, that it wouldnt work on the 97-00's like this, that it is only disable-able on the newer ones from 01 and up??? :confused:

You are right, with Tech2 it only works on 01 up.

You get my hope up and look what happens! :smash:
:lol: j/k.

I guess this is something I'll just have to live with until I decide to install the sensors from my old wheels. Thanks for the input though. :cheers:
