deactivate TPMS???
 

dose anyone know of a way to deactivate the TPMS system???

first off rims and tires are not my specialty. i ended up bying some rims second hand good condition and 85% tread left on tires so no need to replace thouse yet. is there anyway to deactivate TPMS iv heard one of the sunroof circits. if no solution ill wait till i need new tires and replace w new or used sensors. i knew coming in that the light would come on im ok with it if no way to fix other then doing the mazda way.

wow rambaling. dose anyone know of a way to deactivate the TPMS system???

i would like to know this as well- it'd be great if we could put this on a switch...

you can swtich the monitor out with out dismounting the tire! all u gota do is get the tired guy to push the sidewall down so you can slip it in there

i had to have this done when i painted my rims and forgot to the bring the monitor and they guy just put a reg valve stem in it!

get a small tube, put all 4 sensors in it, pressure the tube to 35psi.. put in glove box..

im sure it wouldnt be hard to wire... ssinstaller?

You cannot just put the TPMS sensors in the spare or a container pressured to 35 psi. The sensors activate with centrifugal motion of a moving wheel to preserve battery life. No spinning wheel, no sensor activation. But on the other hand toyota and lexus are diffrent. You just place the sensor in a pressures container and it will go away.


Just another thought. You can always take the light out. I did it and takes about 30 min.

Good luck..

good information, i cant see not using them though, if i hit something in the road, i always look down at the dash to see if i blew a tire.. good piece of mind

hmm, happen to remember what wire the light runs off of? would be great to just be able to interrupt the wire with a switch so you could turn it off when you don't have wheels with the tpms modules on - and switch it back on when you do.

I just took out the light.

mmm. don't want to do that.

Where’s the black electrical tape when I need it???? lol duck tape... lol bailing wire...



yes i know its duct

Just a heads up. When I changed out my stock rims with after market, Discount Tire added new sensors all the way around for $35 bucks. My suggestion would just go to Doscount, or a comparable tire shop, and have them installed, and you dont have to worry about it anymore..
