I looked briefly into this the other week for a forum member after doing some other work. I couldn't see a way to deactivate it but then his was a facelift so uses the ABS sensors and not the valve system.

i keep seeing people mentioning it can be done but i couldn't figure a way to do it. i.e disable the BC warnings. i managed to code the drive off lock etc no problem.

Do you have a units drop down on the front page for RDC or TPC?

May need to go into that module if available. If not then I'm not sure. I know on the facelift there isn't an option for the TPC module as it doesn't run the delegate valves like pre-facelift.

Sorry cant help anymore than that.

Hi Malc
The trouble with the screen shots shown on the advert is that it only shows page one of the scan results, its maybe on page 2 or 3. I have seen the option on one of these missing pages but it doesn't show any results on mine, or yours. It says not found on ours, as we have facelift cars. If you scanned a pre facelift car it would find the module I guess. As our cars use the traction control instead, to read the low pressure by difference in rolling distance
