Rest assured, there is NO way for a technician to turn off this system with any factory authorized equipment. Will an aftermarket company come along and create a program to turn it off? Maybe, but that takes away the responsibility from GM, and puts it on the technician, the dealer and the aftermarket supplier of the program.
Also, I am only talking about the sensors added in the past year or two, which fall under the Federal requirement. TP sensors have been around for quite a while, and until a few years ago, they were not mandatory.
By next year, all cars/light trucks manufactured, have to have the TP sensors, per Federal regulations.
