No way to disable it.
Only Electric tape.
What might work out better is actually finding out what the problem is if it bothers you so much? It could be that one of the valve sensors is bad... it happens.

Or buy a Cobb AccessPORT and disable the visual indicator with it.

Really? I thought I read that somewhere...
Oh well... would have been a nice feature.
Thanks for the clarification.

oh yeah, that would be awesome ;]
nah, it's only limited to engine and emissions trouble codes.
all that other manufacture stuff like airbag lights, etc, the Cobb can't access.. yet. it's all software.
