Temporary TPMS delete (no cutting)

[Drakethefirst]

So the only light that was on my 4runner when I got it was the TPMS. Even after filling all 5 tires I still had the dang light, but I was for sure not going to pay money to have my tires removed just to replace each one of the darn things if I didn't NEED to take the tires off. So a quick google/youtube/forum search later I found the hack to turn it off...however they all involved cutting or splicing into the wires in some way. I am not a big fan of exposing the wires if they don't need to be, so what I did instead was de-pinned them and taped them together.
Same result, but now I don't have to worry about the wires integrity, and when I replace my tires and rims when my tires are bald, I have the opportunity to replace the sensors and all I have to do is plug the pins in and we are good to go!

Is the light steady or blinking? Blinking means there's at least 1 bad sensor. Steady light means there's a low tire. Since you have put all tires up to 32 PSI it's probably a bad sensor. I think I would have opted for a piece of blue masking tape on the IP

Naw, if you're going to do it, do it right. Even long release masking tape will dry out in time and be hard to get the reside off. Use Scotch 33 electrical tape.
