That's too bad.

The sensors in our FRS are a new series of sensors and are in short supply. I put my original sensors in my Enkei wheels and needed replacements for my stock wheels which will see track duty. The service department confirmed that I needed the specific ID number printed on the new sensors to re-program the ECU. They just were not sure whether the ECU would store 4 or 8 sensor codes. That means a trip to the dealer every time I put on the track wheels...

My concern is that without the sensors (TPMS light on) I may not be able to switch off VSC or Traction Control at the track.
