when you put wheels (without tpms sensor) on a car with tpms system, you get a light on the dash, no big deal. but it is very irritating to my eyes. that's why i ask this question over and over, but no one has a way to turn it off. and the wheels i had on cay s cant take the sensors, so......

there is a standard function to turn it off. Your dealer should do it in 5 minutes. Most Europeans have winter tyres and rims as well as the stock rims and tyres. Few of them bother with fitting TPMS to the winter tyres, so the manufacturer makes disabling the system a standard function.

PS I'm sure Bruce C knows how to fix the problem, always nice to take a drive down the coast to his place.
