Awesome writeup! Thanks.
Mine did came on blinking a few miles after it hit 130,000 miles.
Just an fyi, Scotchlok can cut the wire. I was doing it with limited lighting and thinking, I've used Scotchlok a number oif times... what could go wrong?!
After the install, it worked... closed the cover, then cleanup... started the car again... the light is blinking again! the black and white wire got cut. Ended up using additional wires.

Mod works! So simple, I went the route of wiring up a switch. Works like a charm!

Easy Fix! Thanks TXT4R!
Wish I had found this thread sooner : ) Trimmed the yellow tape and black sheathing back an inch, used a blue Scotchlok, it easily slipped into place among the other wires, easiest fix ever! Its a little thing, but a BIG thing! Thx!

The light came on again today but the tpms is always BYPASSED for 8 months, I do not understand! may be that the bypass is disconnected with vibration and / or temperature variations with the Heaters, dont know

Just did this tonight... thanks for the write up! It was super easy after finding the wires. Used blue color scotchlok
no need to install a connector, no cutting required, don't even need to cut back the jacket. Just take a piece of wire and create a jumper from the two wires. Leave the connector unplugged and tape the jumper on the end of the connector. I used a piece of wire from a Cat-5 cable with about 1/4" stripped from either end.
I used your idea and another members to simply remove the module altogether. I have a 08' so the wiring is slightly different, black/pink wire and black/maroon, but used a jumper wire at the end of the connector and taped it up. No more annoying warning light.
Many thanks for the numerous ideas.

Been planning on doing this, got the harness tape off and and ready but (and I know this sounds like a lame problem) can't seem to find ScotchLok thingies locally. I can order them on line in big multipacks I guess.
Can someone tell me more about the unplug and jump method? So you just leave it unplugged and jump which 2 holes together?

Can you explain what you mean by "takes time"? I tried this today and drove up and down the street but the light never went off. I thought my connection might not have been good, so I redid it. Still, the light stayed on. How long does it take?

If the light is on then it didn't work. Check to make sure your wires are jumped to the right pins and also make sure that the wires are inserted in to the right holes on the harness. I only mention this becuase it is the tiny holes that need to be pinned not the larger ones.
"Takes time" was referring to the fact that when you seperate the TPMS from the system sometimes it takes days for the light to come on. For whatever reason. But once it is pinned correctly or shorted out the light should go off immediately. I mentioned that it would take time to see if the pin method might work only becuase in my case I know that when I swap wheels without the sensors on them in the past it would take days to have the light come on. So far pinned the waY I have it in the photo above it has stayed off.
