Is there an easy way to turn off the tire pressure monitor warning? Getting new rims without the sensors.

 

I have the same question. I am installing 20's, and don't want to transfer the TPM over, because I plan to use the factory steel wheel this winter. I don't want to keep switching the TPM from one set to the other.
I am wondering if you could just remove the light from the appropriate place within the dash? If you removed the light, there would be no warning indicator.

 

remove the LED, problem solved :D

 

This has been discussed a few times. About the "best" answer I saw, was to have your spare tire broken down, have three more holes drilled, and install all four sensors, with four valve stems, in the spare tire. Air up, throw the spare back in the back, and off you go. Use any wheels you want.

I may end up removing my spare tire for an amp/sub install, so the above wouldn't really work for me.

Another option I read, was to install all of them in a very small pressure tank, and store the tank somewhere in the vehicle. I don't really know that the dealer knew what they were talking about, but when I asked, they said they operate off of actual pressure, not on pressure difference. So just throwing the bare sensors in the vehicle probably wouldn't work.

I had the TPMS sensors installed in my aftermarket wheels. They will be on the vehicle nine months out of they year. When I throw the stockers on for winter, I'll just deal with the light being on.

 

I thought about the spare tire situation, but didn't care for the idea because I wanted to keep the sensors installed in my stock wheels.
How difficult is it to take the cluster apart, and remove the LED?

not hard at all.. but I suggust that you just cover the led with a small something like a peice of gorillia tape instead of removing it.. This way when you put your stock wheels back on, you can pull off that peice of tape... look to the I.C.E. section for a post called.. led swap for gauges... it'll show you how to get to the circuit board.. good luck.. jh

 

just ordered my rims tonight and didn't get the tpms installed. didn't feel like spending another $370. i'm just going to use a piece of electrical tape over the light until i can find the wire that goes to that light. then, i'll just cut it and my problem will be solved.

 

sorry guys link fixed check it out above

 

I had my TPM removed from my factory wheels, and installed in my new rims months ago, and they work great. The plan is to run the factory rims in the winter, without the TPM installed. I think I can live with the warning light on for 2 to 3 months out of the year.
