gt500forever Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Dear All, I just bought set of rims & tires for my GT500.(Amreican Razor edition) Are there any ways I can re-active tire pressure monitor without going into the dealer? Because I had KB supercharger under the hood, and I don't want to find out and expire my warranties. I've already installed tire pressure monitor sensors on them. Pls advise me your comments. thanks GT500forever, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLN08 Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 My dealer just reprogrammed them in the service drive. They did not have to start the car or get under the hood. Personally, I would not put the sensors in my new razors. I would just hit the reset button when I start the car. No other lights flash or stay on after that. Im always worried that I'm gonna throw off a sensor on the dyno, hard launch, or high speed run. Then the risk of unmounting the tire from the wheel and a greater risk of damaging the wheel on remount. SENSORS SUCK :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1badsho Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 totally correct. They wont even open the hood. all they need to do is too walk around the car for about 5 minutes to reprogram the sensors. Ive done this at our store on my set of rims and tires too. To make sure they dont look under the hood ... the tech can come out to the service drive to do this. You can stay in the car ... allow the tech to do his thing and you will be on your way in about 10 minutes. I get mine done for free since i work here so dont know what they will charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even have to open anything, touch anything - no grease, no parts, no real labor at all. Talk to the Service Mgr, or the GM. That's just not right.

TexasShelby Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Oh it sucks, but true as it is... Heaven forbid...but if you ever have a major accident and the insurance company is involved, if they find out you've disabled a factory safety option, they will deny any claims and coverage. For instance, some idiot hits you, totals your car and puts you in the hospital...both insurance companies can deny coverage. And they will poor over the car...especially the computer.
