Hello all
I have a question regarding tpms sensors.
An old co-worker recently purchased an 08 C6 from a dealer.
The car has aftermarket wheels but there aren't any tpms sensors.
Don't they have to be on the car to pass the safety before purchase?
Thanks in advance

i wouldn t think so, as it is not a safety feature, more of an option.

Tire Inflation Pressure
Item and Method of Inspection:

Additional Inspection Procedure(s):
Measure tire inflation pressure using a suitable gauge.
Note:
If a tire is initially over / under inflated, it is acceptable to remove / add air prior to completing the inspection. When inflation pressure is corrected by more than 5 psi, record initial and final pressure in the inspection report.
Note:
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is not a requirement in Canada.
Record on report that TPMS tell-tale indicates fault, if illuminated during vehicle operation.
a) inflation pressure
Note:
Recommended tire inflation pressure is based on data provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
Ensure pressure is as required by OEM.
