I have an 05 mini cooper s hatchback. strangest thing the tire inflation light or flat tire monitor light came on. the weird part is all my tires check out as far as psi. any thoughts if it is the sensor any ideas how to change out or disconnect it all together without the light staying on ?

Sometimes the tire pressure monitoring system just gets confused. Since all the pressures check out fine, just re-initialize the monitoring system:
1) Start the engine, but don't drive off.
2) Immediately, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring system reset button near the parking brake handle until the tire pressure warning light in the dash flashes.
3) Drive off, avoiding wheelspin or other loss of traction. The system will re-initialize itself and you should be fine.
