theres this button under the steering wheel above the pedals, horizontaly to the hood latch release about 12" to the right. what does that button do? i think its for your tire sensors but im sure im wrong

 

i think you should read your owner's manual?

 

You are correct sir CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

the VSC?
does a light come on when its pressed? (looks like skid marks)

 

from the limited description i think you are talking about the circular button. yeah that is the tire reset button.

never tried it, but no that you point it out maybe someone can try removing the sensors and reseting the sensors to zero???

 

I agree, I think he's talking about the TPMS reset thing. I also agree with SquallLHeart, it's in the manual.

 

hmm... never even noticed it

 

I dont have a manual. a freiend of my needed a place to throw up and for reason did it in the glove box hhahah. I hope it does reset it to 0 i wanna put snow tires on so i can take her snowboarding it would be nice to be able to swap rims with out have the stupid light come on

 

Holy ____! I can't put into words what I would feel if someone did that in my car. Seriously, who the hell picks the glove box over opening a window? I feel bad for you and your xB. You should make your friend replace your owners manual.

 

hahah yeah but it was his birthday...its all good be at least he had the interior detailed by a shop

 

Dude...I don't envy the way your car will smell this summer

 

 

oy vey..

when you reset the tpms system.... or even reinitialize it.. it'll still be looking for the sensors.

meaning you can't swap wheels without that light turning on... (not unless you take those sensors out of your wheels and put them in the new ones)

 

^ my point was to keep the sensors in the glove box and just reset the sensors to ambient. wouldnt that eliminate the light?

 

I dont think so... I hear that they (sensors) stil have to sense pressure... I also read that alot of folks are making "stash tubes" out of PVC pipe.. sealing the removed sensors in a pipe with an air fitting on it.. then pumping up the tube to 35 lbs with the sensors inside of it & BAM! Lights out! just toss the tube in your car somewheres... it's what I read.. sounds logical to me........ jh

 

that sounds like it'll work..

but nonetheless.. you're gonna have to get those tire sensors out in the first place too ya know..

and that'll involve removing the tires.

 

so theres not way of not having the the sensors in or around the car and not havein the light on?

 

dont the sensors just trigger a curuit or something....couldnt i just tap the wires to gether to complet the cuircut? or something like that. theres gotta be a way. i dont wanna put snow tires on in the winter and then come spring have to take the tires off to get the values and put it back on the other rim. i would like to make them work on my spring rims/tires because i paid money for those rims and they have a lower profile so if i do get a flat less chance of messing up the rim and spendy tires. i. i could care less if i got a flat on my winter setup. just dont wanna see the dam light all winter.

 

You where given the best resolution for this.
Get a small pvc tube, a couple of caps for it, and a threaded valve stem. stuff your tpms sensor in the tube with a rag, and pressure it up slowly to 35psi and stash it in your car.
btw did you paint your bumper or use an overlay?
