Hey, im about to go with a new set of rims on my 350...i dont think i really want to dismount the tires on my stock rims jsut to get the TPS sensors out and remount and sell them and then mount them in my new rims and tires.

So im curious as if it were ok to run without these sensors at all? Will the TPS on the monitor just be blank? There is a beeping sound?

Any info would help...thanks!!!

 

Yeah you can run without the TPS. However, there is low pressure warning light on the dash which comes on after about 50 miles continuous driving. The pressures will display "--" The light will go off again once you shut off the car.

 

is there any audible warning such as beeping?

do u run without them?

 

No warning beep, just the light. I've been running without the TPS for close to 2 years now.

 

cool, i jsut read another thread before this post and i think he said he had some beeping noise or soemthing....i guess he was wrong...or i read it wrong..thanks for the help!

 

There is a short beep that sounds but chances are you'll never notice it.

 

Oops I think you maybe right...I just never notice it

 

I've been running w/out the TPS sensors for 4 months and have never noticed the 'short beep'...I get the light to come on every day b/c my commute is just long enough.

as long as its not constantly beeping...thats fine

 

I didn't remove my sensors from the stock wheels but wish I had because I like the TPS function.

I just get the flashing light that comes on for the first 1 minute after start up, then it stays solid. Since the light stays solid and is amber colored, it's not that noticable to me but I'd still rather had my sensors.

I thought at the time, that it was too much hassle to mount, unmount, remount tires blah, blah ,blah, to deal with but wish I had.

 

I know there is a thread somewhere that shows someone putting the TPS sensor on a new rim..

 

Depending on what wheel you have, the sensors may actually mount directly as they do on the stock wheels. Otherwise, you can do the banding method. There is a thread in the DIY section for Wheels,Tires,Brakes...
