Disabling TPMS?

[MrEMan]

The TPMS indicator is flashing in my '06 and the dealership is telling me that means at least one of the sensors in each of the 5 wheels has gone bad and will need to be replaced ... at a cost of $259 each, and the only way they can determine which needs to be replaced is to just start replacing them one at a time. Needless to say, I can check my own air pressure. So the question is, how can I disable the indicator?

Tire shops will be way cheaper than that

Just had one of mine die the other day.

How do you disable it? 1, single, quick splice...

Takes 5 minutes, and you can just undo the quick splice in the future if you want to buy/use new sensors.

This is perfect ... thanks! I'm taking great pleasure in the fact that I got the solution before I even left the dealership ...:moon:

What a rip with the dealership. Discount tires did mine for around $65 to replace a sensor.

Did it to mine now have the new and improved TPMS

^^ Haha, got a laugh out of me on that one. Im thinking I'll disable mine too. Getting tired of the flashing light and i'll just leave a tire pressure gauge in the 4Runner.

Thanks for the link to that write up!
