DIY - Bypassing Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS / TPMS) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Tiddlygoose · 01-20-2009, 11:49 PM

OK, so I followed the first mod as CTScott knows... Then I followed the corrected 2nd version of the mod. I Left the first switch in the on position, Added a second push button switch with the 3 150 ohm resistors and it worked right up until the time I got up to highways speed. Then the darned light came back on. No amount of changing either switch changes anything at all.

Question. Can the dealer disable the entire TPMS system, even if it costs me? Has anyone had that done or know anything? I always check my own damed tires. I've never had anything like this to fall back on before and with my tire switching situation I'd just as soon loose TPMS all together at this point.
