Tire Pressure Sensor Problem-Need Help???

[Kmvreter]

... We have steels on for winter and a blinking light (that I cover with a small piece of electrical tape on the gauge cluster) until spring.

rook,
Thanks for figuring this out.
Not sure how I missed the followup on this thread with installing a switch to cut the dash light.

I'll post a new thread with my writeup. See here:

this mod is reversible. i have since wired in a switch which allows me to use the system half the year.

ric,
the module should be below the glove box. there are 2 screws holding the black plastic panel in place, drop the panel and it should be there

Hey Rook, Im so sorry I didnt thank you sooner, so Thankx :bigok:

Other option

If you notice pin 16 is ground so its possible to just jumper pin 6 to pin 16 on the circuit board. That will ground out the signal as well. I did that and it works as permanent bypass. 10 year old car has 5 bad sensors so TPMS will be disabled from now on.. I can live w/o it..

I know this is a little old, but...this seems like the simplest way to go about simply turning the TPMS off permanently. That said, how do you "jumper the pins"? Simply run a ground wire from the 6 pin to the 16 pin? And we're talking about the red ECU, yes? Sorry for being a little dense.

And if you happen to have a pic, even better :madgrin:
