What kind of driving did you do to prove the car would work properly with no sensors? Did you have it above 55 mph in curves? My C6 doesn't have any issues as long as the speed is 55 or lower. I copied this from Page 38 of the C7 Owner's Manual that I downloaded from the GM Parts House web site:
If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system is malfunctioning and the
DIC displays SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM, StabiliTrak will
be affected as follows:
. StabiliTrak cannot be turned off by the driver.
. If StabiliTrak is off, it will be turned on automatically.
. Competitive Driving Mode or Performance Traction Management is unavailable.
. StabiliTrak will feel different in aiding and maintaining directional control.
On page 10-55 the manual also indicates failed or missing sensors will cause the Service Message to light.
It certainly sounds like the system has the same response to the lack of tire pressure sensors as the C6 has.
