TPMS bypass, fantastic ... Who knew !! the switch sounds like a great idea, DONE !! thanks again, this forum Rocks ... now if I could only figure out my P0016 code....

Hi All: I have been looking through the forum but not finding exactly what I am looking for, could be user error !! what I would like to do is mount my winter tires onto some in expensive steel wheels. I have read that FJ wheels work fine. The thing that I am wondering is what do I need to do...

Does anyone know what the exact code is that is generated with a loose or bad gas cap?

Here you go, it's a touch dirty as I mentioned.

I did it to mine, I'll take a couple pictures tomorrow, though it's dirty and snowy right now.

For my collector vehicles that are not driven very often, never in the winter, I use a CTEK smart charger on each. They monitor the battery and keep them charged. I have never had an issue. smartercharger.com

Well I got stuck trying to get to my cabin last night, had to dig it out and then get the snow blower going to get up the drive.

Ha looks like a nice spring day up here.

One further thing is that both the times the light came on I had not let the vehicle warm up very much. thanks again

Thanks guys. I did have it reset and it has not come back. Yes -25, it had warmed up from -32 in the morning. Fingers crossed that it doesn't come back.

I should have also mentioned that it is a 4 Liter V6. thanks
