I know that everyone says its not possible, but I was wondering if anyone knows of just a wire or something that I can cut behind the dash that will make the Tire Press. Light not illuminate, and then I could just solder the wires back together if I had to, or sold the car, etc... I have aftermarket wheels, and I've dealt with it for awhile, but it would be nice to not have to look at it.

Also everyone once in awhile, the light will go away, but then comes back on after about 15 min of driving. And I love not seeing it hahaha

Anyone know of some secret way we can get that to disappear????

Thanks!

keep your tires inflated to the proper pressure? that might work

 

I didn't put the tpms in my new wheels.

 

that is your problem right there.

 

 

Is there a reason that's funny...? haha I didn't put them in so I could save some weight in the wheels...

Lots of people don't put them in. Plus I would have had to take them off the stock wheels which would be a pain.

But I know that's why the TPMS light is coming on, I want to know how to make it go away...

now that is even funnier than the other post

 

I think the only way to do it is to pull the bulb out of the dash, this used to get brought up all the time but I haven't looked into it in a long time. I didn't reuse mine because the people who did my tires wanted all kind of extra money just because of the tpms. I just live with the light, no big deal.

 

i think the OP needs to read this post

iwas gonna highlight the same thing but thought i would give him a break

 

Hahaha you guys are so full of yourselves its hilarious. I asked a simple question dude, and that was to find out how to make the light go away without installing the tpms in my new wheels. TPMS actually adds weight to your wheels....it's a magnet, and removing that weight will help with cornering handling, blah blah, plus it costs extra to have those removed from the old wheels and installed on the new wheels....

So I will try to just remove the bulb and see if that works. Anyone know how hard it is to pull out the dash, or have a tut?

 

Build an airtight box, weld a metal valve stem on it, put TPMS sensors inside, fill with 32psi.

 

well, good luck with the bulb removal (that is if you even find one) plus, how much does a TPMS sensor weigh anyway? i bet not enough that you would ever know the difference. (all 4 weigh close to 1 pound) and if you had read the linked post, you will find that there is no way for you to "make the light go away" but since you don't want to, i will quote from it instead

so you got two choices:

1. have the TPMS put back on the wheels (hopefully you know which ones went on what side)

or


2. leave them off and ignore the light

 

If you're willing enough to go through the trouble of taking the instrument cluster out of the car then cracking it open to disconnect the bulb, then go right ahead. There's nothing any of us could say to convince you otherwise of the folly of that action. the light can't be bothering you that much that you're willing to debate the futile, can it?

 

I just can't believe that no one has the ambition to go back behind the panel and just figure out which bulb or wire it is. So maybe I'll be the pioneer on this one. But dude up there is being ignorant and not listening to what I'm saying. Im not a retard and decide not to read your link. I have read that quite a few times in the past. I just don't want to install the TPMS. It costs extra for it. And when you have a true racing wheel, why do you need it, to weigh you down? If I really wanted a TPMS I would buy a real one, the light ones. But I don't need it.

It cant be that hard to just go behind the dash and find out how to disconnect it...

 

any credibility you may have had you just lost it right there with that statement. again, good luck with doing this.


oh, and FYI, those Work wheels you got weigh (21.5 lbs) close to what the OEM stock wheels weigh, so you really saved a bunch of weight there

 

When I bought my car new the TPMS light was on. Tires were underinflated, put in the correct psi, light would not go off or reset. Had to waste time and take car for dealer to reset the TPMS. It is a waste in my opinion, why did Nissan not have a manual reset like other cars. I left mine out when I put on my new rims. Yeah, the flashing light stays on for about a minute and then goes solid. I check my tires weekly, like I did on all my older cars without TPMS no problems at all without TPMS except darn light.
But no worries about replacing a bad sensor for $100 plus labor.

The TPMS is just a way for manufacturers to help dealers rip off customers. If the government and manufactures were really concerned about safety, the only tires made would be run flats.

I would rather have run flats over TPMS. TPMS will do you no good when your tire blows out when you are going 50mph, but no problem at all with the run flat.

P.S. I once asked the same question on another forum. Someone replied that if you go to the dealer and have the tech reprogram the TPMS, but cancel the program before the actual install from the programmer, the light will not come on. OF course they can not do it legally, so you would have to know the tech and have them do it on the side. I do not know if it actually works, but is worth a try.

 

see, now you have a legit reason for leaving them off. a lot better than those already mentioned

 

Actually, I'm still trying to figure this comment out. The TPS Sensors come in different forms for different auto makers. For example, Acura uses a beveled surface on the backside of the valve stem and the factory wheels are counterweighted. It depends on what kind of wheels you have that would even allow you to install the sensors. They have to install flush, otherwise they are no good anyways. I don't use them on my Volks and I could care less about them. My tires are so wide and so low profile that I'm aware when they are flat. Just my $.02.
