5th gen TPMS disable
Been searching the site and haven't found anything other than the pvc canister idea.
Anyone know if this method would work on a 5th gen?

Remove TPMS or don't install it in your new wheels.
Done.

Removing the TPMS sensors does not disable the warning light

The TPMS system is federal law, and is written in such a way that all manufacturers have to integrate their chosen technology in a way that it cannot be disabled. Not saying it can't be "hacked" to disable, but you risk other problems perhaps. The thing I find most egregious, is the $100ºº or so cost of the sensor when the batteries go dead.

most independent tire shops will clone 5 TPMS for ~ $100. amazon sells a set of qyt4 autel programmable 315Mhz tpms ~ $119.
i prefer to be safe with TPMS on all my wheels

Why would you want to disable it? Just so the light wouldn't be on when you're aired down? I'd rather have the safety of knowing if a tire is low while daily driving vs. not dealing with the light during the rare circumstance I'm aired down. The TPMS light has alerted to me to nails in my tires a number of times that would have otherwise taken me much longer to notice.

If you buy the TIS Techstream from Amazon ($100) then you can program your own TPMS sensors and not have to worry about the light, you can even adjust the psi that turns on the light, set it to 5psi and never have the light go on again!

Um, a little piece of tape over the light. You laugh but several folks in here have done it.

I have been doing this ever since I put my BFG tires on with no sensors.

It's a dumb system that doesn't tell you which tire is involved or what the pressure is, or if there is just fault with the system.
GMs and other cars will give you pressure readouts for each tire in real time (are they super accurate, no, but close enough).

I agree it's dumb that it doesn't tell you which tire it is, but it still alerts you to address the issue.
This is completely off topic, but back when I was considering replacing the head unit that's why I was interested in iDatalink Maestro. In addition to integrating the steering wheel controls and all that, you can use it to access vehicle diagnostic data like oil temp/pressure and also the individual tire pressures from the tpms system. Hopefully this will be addressed in the next 4Runner, since my friend has a TRDP Tacoma and the HUD in the instrument cluster is full color and will show tire pressure among many other things.

I was going to de-solder the LED for the light, but just ended up putting a small piece of gorilla tape over it instead. I installed aftermarket sensors that use a different frequency and also display each tire's pressure and temperature.
