Default Help! tire pressure light keeps flashing!!!

I've had enough...I have 19' roja wheels on my vette with no tire pressure sensors and on my display screen it keeps flashing "monitor tire pressure sensor"...it comes up every time I get in and start the car...is there any way I can get this to stop for good? Thanks ahead of time for any help! Matt

Sorry you had to go nuts before posting this, Matt. You can head over to your local dealer service dept. and ask if they can hook their Tech II diagnostic tool to your car and delete the tire pressure monitoring system option. Should only be a nominal fee - a buddy of mine had a local dealer shut his F45 option off that way and the tech charged him $25. Course, I think that was under the . . .

Well, anyway, you may want to call a couple first to make sure they're amenable to your request.

I believe the Tech II is the only programmer able to disable the TPS. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.
