Default 2015 IS250C - PCS disable

Does anyone know if there is a way to fully disable the PCS on the 2015 IS conv.? My car sustained front end damage and the new sensor is over $2000 plus install and calibration $700+ at the dealer. I am not looking to replace this part but the PCS light is on the dash and the "Check PCS system" error message keeps flashing. I would love to just disable this option on the car and not worry about replacing it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You can disable PCS using the car configuration menu buttons to the right of the convertible switch (looks like a rocker with a on/off button in the middle). HOWEVER, that might only disable the actual response system, but not workaround the system check that's probably done when the car starts up--and then gives you a possible error.

Why not fix it properly through an insurance claim? Also, ironically, PCS should have warned you of a possible collision to avoid it.

Also, FWIW, PCS is very rare on any IS, it's certainly something I've enjoyed and want to ensure is working properly.

Right, the button next to the TOP control only turns the PCS ON or OFF. I have read in several posts that the PCS actually had caused or would have caused many drivers to get rear ended. Especially when driving dynamically. I really don't use the feature and therefore would rather avoid the additional cost. Thank you for the feedback.

I love my lexus cars and they have served me well. But some of the components are getting ridiculously expensive. Over $2000 for a small eletronic box that probably cost under $100 in to make. Not justifiable.
