Just let a lot of air out of one of your tires. That will trigger it guaranteed.

He did figure it out, but did not integrate it into his software yet...

Yeah-I just emailed them 5 days ago and got this response

"We don't have the TPMS disable feature finalized yet, but we can definitely
tune your car for you."

I'm waiting till they have the tpms delete to buy.

Not sure if anyone else posted this already but there is one method that will "disable" your tpm light on the dash. Its the most easily reversable way to do it and the best method to run winter rims with no sensors.

You will still require 4 working sensors.

Im not going to described the entire procedure but you can google it.

Build yourself a small sealed pcv pipe with threaded caps at the ends. Just has to be big enough to hold 4 tpm sensors. Install a schrader valve. Pump the can you just made up to your tire pressure spec. Do a relearn on the sensors... I use the GM handheld learn tool (there might be other ways too). Throw it in with your spare tire and those sensors will be sending the proper psi to the tpm module.

They don't have to spin or have a certain RPM?

When stationary, the sensors sample the pressure every 30 seconds but do not transmit an update unless there is a change in pressure inside that canister.

Normally when the sensors are installed in the tires, they will transmit pressure readings every 60 seconds when the vehicle is moving. The internal accelerometers see the vehicle is moving and tell the receiver to enter rolling mode. Im pretty confident that the cobalt does not compare vehicle speed with the state of the TPM system (stationary/rolling) so it doesnt care if the sensors ever "roll".

THEY RESET AT 20MPH, BUT MOST SHOPS HAVE A TOOL TO RESET AT A STAND STILL. SO YOU CAN GET PIC PIPE WITH 2 CONE ENDS AND A PRESSURE INLET AND PVC GLUE. GLUE ONE CONE ON AND HAVE A RAG, DRILL HOLE BIG ENOUGH FOR PRESSURE VALVE. THEN GET TPMS RESET, PUT THEM AND RAG IN TUBE and GLUE OTHER SIDE ON AND PUT PROPER AIR IN TUBE. THEN PUT IN TRUCK AND BAM. DONE
