The tire pressure is correct in all 4 tires, yet this warning lights up after about 5 minutes of driving time - "Service LTPWS" (low tire pressure warning system)
Can I disconnect this sensor?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
 
The problem is with a sensor and not the tire pressure. A separate "low tire pressure" light will come on if you have a tire pressure problem. The system resets itself everytime you shut the car off and light will continue to come on after a few miles until you replace the bad sensor or pull the bulb.;)

Do you know where the sensor is located? I would imagine that pulling the bulb would require taking the dash apart?
Thanks.
 
There is a sensor strapped to each of your wheels. You'll have to have a service garage read the error codes to find out which sensor is bad. Did you recently have new tires put on? Sometimes they'll damage a sensor installing the new tire. Good luck, Tim

Your suggestions are a big help in narrowing down the possibilities. I did have the rear brakes replaced. I also replaced the computer which was giving a rash of error codes, although the car was running great.
Thanks, Andy
