At the local Porsche shop, they noticed that one of my tire pressure lights was on even though the tire pressure itself was fine. They gave me the option of replacing all four TPMS sensors (since there's really no way to figure out which sensor failed), or simply disabling the system through the on-board computer, with the caveat that if I ever sold the car I should re-boot the TPMS system and replace the sensors. I guess you can do all sorts of personalized reprogramming through the on-board computer; apparently the original owner of my car also had the seatbelt warning buzzer deactivated.
