Default TPS question

So i had my TPS put on my rotas and I sold those, now i'm running some BBS. I've had the BBS on for about a week now and even drove from norcal to socal with it. I never had the tps light come on until today. It started blinking and and now its on. Should I be worried? or just leave it be, because I'm pretty sure there are no TPS in my BBS.

Well if there are no TPS in your rims then the light will be on and will stay on. You are fine plenty of people rock wheels without them on here. All you will have is the warning light.

Thanks, thats what I thought too, but like it didn't show up until after a week without driving.

It needs to complete a driving cycle for it to register.

yep, don't worry. I'll be rocking the summer wheels without a TPS sensor, i may even remove the LED when i do some gauge work.

That might create an open in the circuit and cause something else to not work. I'd just put a small piece of electrical tape on the led.

Yea, I think they want like almost $400 to install them when you buy a wheel and tire package. If I get new wheels I am just going to leave them out.
