Tyre sensors

ive asked this in the Australian forum, but I thought I would ask our American brothers the question.
Can anybody tell me what will happen if I remove the pressure sensors out of the tyres.
I am going to install a sensor tyre unit ( tyre pressure reader unit) to my 2015 F250 and caravan.
Will the warning light be on all the time or can it be disabled.

I would highly suspect the light would stay on. Is there any particular reason for removing the tyre sensors? I would not pay to remove but just leave them in the tyres. The add on tyre pressure reader unit will not get any errors from the Ford in tyre sensors.

On the 2011 SRW I had prior to the 2015 DRW I have now, I used an add on tyre pressure reader system and had no problems with the Ford system nor with the add on system.

If it is like every other sensor system, the light will stay on.

Looks like I may need to leave them there. Thanks for the answers.
The reason I was wanting to remove them was for when we travel off road in sandy or rough areas we reduce the tyre pressures considerably (and much reduced speed) to get through the conditions. I guess I will just have to put up with the warning light when doing this.

Thanks for that Layson.
Looks like that may be the solution.

I drive on the sand a lot @ 25 psi and the light stays on all the time but the noise only comes on once, thankfully! Can't stand the dinger noise! I can handle the light.
