I did exactly this on my 06 4Runner v8 Ltd and worked as described. TPMS light was glowing solid and now does not. I have always checked my TP on a regular basis so I do not need to worry about this annoying warning TPMS light in my face.

I may do this eventually but at the moment it doesn't really bother me

Finally remembered to do this on my 07 Sport. Only took 5 minutes. I chose to use a small paperclip to jump the 2 wires in case I/future owner ever want to reverse it.

- Did not need to disconnect the battery
- Unplugged yellow-taped harness (no need to cut the tape)
- Located pink/black and white/black wire
- Inserted end of paperclip into the tiny holes that correspond with the pink/black and white/black wire.
- Covered fully in electrical tape just to be sure.
- Left unplugged.

Solid TPMS dash light is OFF!

This was sooo easy! Thanks OP. No more flashing TPMS light for me.

After 5 years I finally did this.. in the 30 seconds it took me to do it.. im pretty mad I waited 5 years..

1 screw under glove box.. unwrap yellow tape... unwrap black wire cover.. splice white/black stripe and pink/black stripe with wire merge clip.. reinstall screw.. done..

Woo, wish I would've done this a year ago!

Thank you!

I tried to do this (except with the pink/black and black/red wires) with my '08 V8 Limited and couldn't get it to work. I even tried it with the pink/black and white/black wires just to be sure.

A couple of ideas:
1) Will the TPMS light be off immediately when starting the vehicle, or does it take a while for it to reset after this operation?
2) I couldn't get the paperclip (any of them) to go in and engage/grab in the harness, even with a lot of force. They just went in a bit and kind of just sat there, so it felt like I wasn't making proper electrical contact. I even tried safety pins to get a sharp entrance point and got the same result. Maybe the gauge is too big on a paper clip?

What gives? Thanks!

Finally got around to doing this. I followed another member’s recommendation and used a piece of CAT 5 as a jumper wire. Jumped from the back of the connecter and kept everything plugged in. Super simple job and easily reversible.

This worked perfect, couldn't have been easier.

I decided to run the bypass on my ‘08. I just didn’t see any reason to spend a chunk of change on 2 defective sensors. My tire gauge works just fine, and drivers have been using them for decades.

So it seemed to do the trick the past 2 days. But now the light comes on sporadically.

Sounds like a bad contact on your bypass somewhere...

I’m going to look it over again. It seems prone to coming on more frequently at highway speeds

I have a 2007 Toyota 4Runner Limited (V6). I can confirm that this bypass works exactly as described. I went to Ace Hardware and bought this wire splice connector tap...

...followed the directions and the pictures looked exactly like what I saw when I dropped the black panel down to see the control modules. I unplugged the module (didn't unplug the battery), peeled back the yellow tap, cut off that once I had it peeled back far enough to work with the wires, I pushed back the black insulation around the wires and cut off the extra insulation with some multi-tool scissors, used that splice connector (make sure both wires are fully in each channel, used pliers to push that splicer down to cut the wires, pushed the plastic snap fastern down until it clicked to lock it on, plugged back in the wires into the module, buttoned everything back up and the light is gone once I started the truck.

It's so nice now since I had my OEM rims sandblasted and refinished with two coats of gloss black and 1 coat of gloss clear coat. I put regular rubber valve stems back in so I don't have to worry about those stupid sensors anymore.
