Default After market wheels

I recently purchased a 2000 corvette with aftermarket wheels minus the Air pressure Sensors. Everytime i start the car i have to reset the Service Tire Mon. System. Is there any way to bypass this feature so that i dont have to reset it all the time

Unfortunately, no.

If you had a 2001 or newer, there is a way to disable the system, but not on 2000/earlier cars.

You should be able to put tire pressure sensors in the wheels. That's what I did with my after market rims.

when i put the Kumho autoX tires on my chrome 17/18's, i removed the sensors- i will have to deal with the message at the track only

when i get my iforged 19/20's, they will be street/show only, so the sensor will go in those

check the Parts section, you'll find some deals for all 4, and sometimes there are links to places that sell them new and rebuilt

Is that true? You learn something new everyday.

The procedure for reprogramming the Body Control Module is here (at least for years that allow this):

I would turn off the RPO for this option if you dont want to install the sensors. Of course, you need a friend with a Tech II. The best alternative is to install them.
