I didn't find out until we got out of town that you can reset the system by turning the wheels fully left then right than left and center them. Turn the car off and let the computer shut off. I would have felt fine driving out with out chains but because TC wasn't on I thought it would be wiser to be ultra cautious and put the chains on.
I'll remember this if I run into that problem. I'm heading back to Tahoe today since it's been dumping pretty good up there.

I remember reading something (from owners manual?) that DSC should be turned off when you are using snow chains. Did you turn it off on your drive down the mountain?
