5th gen TPMS disable

[charlesanborn]

Since this is my first post here I couldnt start a new thread, however, I do believe I have the bypass solution for 5th gens. I have a 2018, I bought access to toyotas technical information system to download the schematics. It turned out to be the same as my 2014 Tacoma. The tpms light needs to see 3.2v or higher to stay off, unlike a ground on older generations. No big deal heres what I did. Drop the drivers side dash panel below the column. Look to the left of the column and there should be a gray box with one bolt holding it to the subdash. Unplug the wiring and locate pin 5&6, dark green and light green next to each other. The dark greeb is the light output, and the light green is 5vdc supply to the antenna module. Jumper those two wires together and plug it back into the module. The test is when you turn your ignition on you should no longer see the tpms light. I havnt driven yet but so far this looks like the solution many including myself has been after.

How did you Lower the lower instrument panel to get at the TPMS Module?

I actually joined this forum for this specific post. Has anyone else done this? What has been your results? I've got an '11 SR5 and I am planning on doing this today.

How did you get the lower instrumental panel down?

Just wanted to say thanks to zeindog. I installed this solution this morning on my 2018 SR5.

I had ICON Rebounds installed a couple days ago and the tire shop couldn’t install the oem TPM sensors without scratching the wheels (they claim).

So happy to find this workaround.

How did you drop the lower instrument panel down to get access to the module?

I am not an electrician BUT you state "tpms light needs to see 3.2v or higher to stay off, unlike a ground on older generations" I do not understand how a bulb needs 3.2v to stay OFF.

I so want to disable this system, but need to understand your logic. Please be kind enough to reply

How did you lower the bottom of the instrument panel to get to the TPMS Module? Thanks

Thank You Zeindog. This worked on my T4R 2014 Limited. I installed a quick connect and the dummy light is Off. This "saved" me a little more that $450 to install four new TPMS sensors. In my T4R I do not have PSI display on the dash so, The warning light is nothing more than an annoyance. But, thanks to you, not anymore!
