Hi Folks,

I have an '07 Grand Prix and was planning on mounting my winter tires on a set of steel wheels without the TPMS. My question is, what will this affect beside displaying a message on my DIC? Will this disable my ABS or have any other ill affects?

Thanks.

I like the TPMS because it could save replacing a tire before its wrecked the side wall if you get a heads up its going low.

It will turn the TPMS light on, but will not affect the ABS/Trac system at all since that's run off the wheel speed sensors.

The only thing that will happen is a message saying "service tire monitor system" wil apear on the DIC after every start up. You can just click reset, and it dissapears. It will not display tire pressure, but thats not a big deal to most people
