hey guys, merely figured I'd permit everyone know how to disable your TPMS system, effectively shutting that stupid light off forever. If you lot look nether the glovebox, the TPMS computer is correct at that place, with a plug of wires coming out. Yous desire to cut the light green wire, and splice the part coming from the ECM into the yellowish wire. To be clear, y'all need to keep the xanthous wire in tact, as in not cutting it, and scotch lock the light light-green wire into information technology. This puts 5 Ohms on the TPMS organization and makes the truck think everything is fine. I did it to mine and accept had it for about a week with no issues. The problem is that, non only is the TPMS a stupid invention that's pointless, it costs a shitload of coin to accept new sensors added to your truck. The dealership needs to get the ID numbers off each new individual sensor, and add together them to the ECM for the truck to recognize them. In English, if you buy a set of accept off wheels and tires off of craigslist like I did, the new sensors won't automatically re-adjust to your truck, y'all have pay the dealer to add them. It'south totally stupid, and a rip off, and anyone who can see knows if their tire pressures are low. Plus, for guys in the common cold, that light would come on every morning anyways until you start driving and heat up the pressure in your tires... Dumb. Credit goes to bstevens on tundrasolutions, and as per normal, I'1000 not responsible if y'all fuck your truck up, or do this mod and accident a tire just don't have the light to tell yous your tires blown, and your truck crashes. Attached are some pics from bstevens, I didn't apply the Zener diodes, you don't really need them unless y'all're anal like that, they're cheap and its your money, not mine. I did non use them, and everything'south fine...

Not actually certain how it could be enforced, but information technology's illegal to disable the tpms. No sentence on your part, but just so others know.

No information technology isn't. Information technology'south not even an inspectable detail. Here is a copy of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act, which created the National Highwaay Traffic Safety Assistants. Folio 557, 2d column, "Making Safety Devices Inoperative."
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE...ODE-2011-title49-subtitleVI-partA-chap301.pdf

A manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or motor vehicle repair business may non knowingly make inoperative whatsoever part of a de- vice or chemical element of design installed on or in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment in compliance with an applicable motor vehicle safety standard prescribed nether this chapter unless the manufacturer, distributor, dealer, or repair business organization reasonably believes the vehicle or equipment will not be used (except for testing or a similar purpose during maintenance or re- pair) when the device or element is inoperative.

Vehicle owners tin do whatever they want, as long as their vehicles adhere to state rubber inspection requirements, in which TPMS is non a requirement.

And if that business believes the organization won't exist used, it's ok to 86 information technology... TPMS is almost never e'er used by fifty-fifty women who don't know what that low-cal means...

Why don't yous only keep the stock TPMS sensors in aftermarket wheels and proceed tire pressure accurate?

Hither's the exact issue. I bought a complete set up of rock warrior wheels and tires - take offs from a 2013, practically make new. They CAME WITH TPMS sensors. I put said wheels and tires on my truck. Collection 40 miles, TPMS light came on. I thought to myself, you can just push the button to reset the organisation and have it recognize new sensors... NOPE. you have to go to the dealership, pay them to get the ID numbers off of each new sensor, and and then add those ID numbers to the trucks ECM for information technology to recognize them. That's completely fucking stupid, and a full waste material of money. It's also a huge waste product of over 100 bucks to suspension down the stock tires, break downward the new ready, bandy TPMS sensors, then get the new gear up and old set remounted and balanced. Also, the sensors from the 17" RW wheels will non fit the 18" wheels, nor will the sensors from the 18" wheels fit the 17" RW wheels. I know you similar being a dink on these forums, but y'all would never pay to do that, nor would anyone else, so your recommendation is exactly what people should NOT do. This is a simple, substantially costless fix to erase a pointless light from your dashboard, if you don't want to do it that'south absurd, I posted this for others who would like to do it, and save themselves coin and a headache...

I wasn't being a dink. It was a question and kinda sarcastic with the comment of keeping pressure authentic. I didn't know the TPMS are different betwixt bicycle sizes. Openings are the aforementioned but evidently something there I didn't know. Also didn't know your state of affairs. Now you clarified which is why I was asking as a question.
On my Tacoma when irresolute wheels and tires, I did have the stock TPMS sensors swapped out to the new setup. I don't recall the added price to exercise this swap. Another pick to keep the TPMS (if they fit new wheel).

I like the TPMS feature to know when I have a boom in the tire. Slow leaks are undetectable for a long time until the tire becomes visually low or yous bank check pressure regularly. This helped recently with a nail in the tire.

Thank y'all for this mod. Aye it is very helpful for those that tin't go on their TPMS for any reason. I was not downgrading your difficult work and awesome mod.

Ok delete the thread if yous are merely going to keep shitting on it, idk what else to say. I really wasnt looking for your criticism, just looking to post a helpful modern for people who DONT want to waste the coin on something that doesn't provide any benefit. It'due south fine that you want to waste product your money, simply there are people who probably dont desire to waste theirs.

Agree to disagree. Both methods work hither. It'southward upward to the vehicle operator to decide what road.

This works, no need to cutting annihilation, actually i did cut the low-cal green wire and then jumped it beyond to the yellow wire and the tpms light stayed on so don't cut it, it went out when i twisted the light green wire back together with the jumper installed, unless you want to install a delay timer relay like i did to arrive appear that its working for inspection , but use a jumper wire from calorie-free greenish to yellow wire brand sure it's the yellow wire that has voltage, mine has two yellow wires one with voltage one without , and plug information technology back in , now if you want to install a delayed timer relay $5 on ebay what happens with the relay installed is when you lot plough the central on the tpms light will come on then after the preset time (I prepare mine for three seconds ) the relay trips causing the voltage to transfer to the light light-green wire turning the light out .
Forgive me for beingness a dink, merely suggesting you lot simply keep your tires at the proper pressure seems like a perfectly reasonable suggestion. May I respectfully advise you recalibrate your dink-meter? That said, thanks to the op for the tip. I'm sure it will help others facing the aforementioned situation you described.

Hi all, commencement want to say nice task past the OP to come with swell mod to bypass the TPMS.
I'm seeking a piffling description though, the trouble I'm having is that the original procedure and this ane by the OP here are slightly different and both are a trivial vague nearly which wires to use. Both used the light dark-green wire and there'southward only one in this connector (J31) and then no problem there. Both removed the wire from the connector in one form or another (cutting or removing female pin terminal from connector), again, this is clear enough. However bstevens used two resistors and a diode and continued to the yellow wire in terminal #7 judging by the pic. The second pic is pretty difficult to discern anything from and I"m not even sure which style (diode or non) it is depicting.

That yellowish wire in the first photo, pin #7, has 12volts on it. Afterwards the resistors are installed according to bstevens the voltage going to our light green wire should exist approx 4.4V so the metering unit in the dash is satisfied. It seems the OP says hey you don't need the diodes but I'grand wondering if he luckily used the other, lower voltage yellow wire.

To be clear here, the problem is that at that place are TWO yellow wires on that connector. The other is in pin terminal #6 (reverse corner of pin #7) and that one has approx 5V as information technology'southward a reference signal. And so to analyze, does the OP mean 5V and not "5 ohms" as he states? Can he share exactly which pins he tapped more clearly? Specifically, WHICH Yellow WIRE at the tpms connector? I'g thinking information technology may be a bad idea to send 12V to the metering unit through the light light-green wire if what it really is looking for is some voltage betwixt 0-5V (as reference voltages ordinarily work).

Cheers in accelerate for whatever light anyone might be able to shed on this matter. Below delight see the pics of the diagrams in question for help in clarification. Pitiful for whatsoever formatting errors I may have made in attaching them.

I have the aforementioned problem and wondering exactly which yellow wire to tap. I copied the blurry photo at the beginning of the postal service, blew information technology up, and rotated so I could read the sticker. Appears to say the yellow wire 'to top right.' That makes sense since this is the 5V yellowish wire as 07Fundra indicates. I am heading outside to try this fix. Volition post results. If anyone can clarify otherwise please let united states all know.
Nice vintage Farmall if say then myself. I am temporarily ignoring by TPMS light for at present until next tire modify. Checking by hand.

I carefully stripped insulation from calorie-free green wire and yellow wire #6. Tapped across both and checked to exist certain I have connexion. TPMS low-cal still on. Tried yellowish wire #vii. All the same TPMS calorie-free on. DO NOT TRY THIS!! At present my ABS lite is on likewise as the air bag warning light. Tranny lock out besides engaged. No idea what happened. All fuses ok. Guess I'k off to my Toy dealer. I'm betting an expensive experiment. By the way, my rig is a 2008 CrewMax. Not certain why this fix ended up a disaster for me. Be Careful!

My fix was to jump across the light green wire to the xanthous wire as shown above in this thread. No idea why I ran into a problem. Toy dealership found a blown fuse, they said #nine fuse for ECM. Prior to taking truck to dealership I checked all fuses labeled with any marking associated with ABS, Pause Check, air bags, TPMS, or anything to do with engine functioning. All were OK. Not sure which fuse is #9. They are not numbered. I checked both the fuse box under the hood and abreast driver side floorboard. Afterward dealer replaced fuse, everything at present works again. I put former tires dorsum on with factory TPMS units. Toll me $112 to notice out this would not work on my truck. If anyone has an idea delight pass along. Also, if anyone knows which fuse is #9 please let me know. Would exist nice to know for future reference instead of paying Toy for a fix!
Information technology doesn't take much to open a tin can of worms.Especially with electronics and modifications beingness done differently for the aforementioned thing. The ECM is touchy plenty every bit it is. Why fool with mother nature? I calibrate and repair all kinds of high end (very high finish) electronic test equipment at piece of work and I am good at it, yet I won't mess around bypassing/modding anything ever without clear and concise, and verified documentation.In my line of work it could be a career catastrophe mistake at all-time.Safety of flying/life at worst. This mod appears to work for some and not others. And it's being done differently. Not a adept sign. Needs more clarification. Is the latest revision or relevant wiring revision beingness used? this sould be a consideration and mentioned with all mods posted hither. Of course one is taking a risk. Only take your wallet ready. Many mfrs, including Toyota are constantly irresolute/revising things. It's 1 thing to wire up fogs and such. Outsmarting the ECU is some other. Trial and error can be cosly. Enquire Jace. He has probably seen a few at Stevensons West.Toyota is adept about hiding fuses. Maybe a relay went. Skillful luck. Sorry what happened. Let us know what they detect. Possibly nosotros can become everybody on the same page with this mod to foreclose someone from di*king up their truck because of a annoying low-cal.

For anyone wanting to endeavor this anyway, the zener diode part number for Radio Shack is 276-0563. It'due south a IN4742A 12 volt.
BTW, apologies to the OP for my lack of attention to detail and not seeing that he did in fact credit the chap that figured this out. Either way, at least now there's a link for anyone that wishes to consult the original posting.
This particular modernistic appears to exist a expert one. There are a couple variations out in that location. I was referring to TPMS mods in general. Some are not following instructions and it works. Some are following the instructions and it works. Some have got this one to work without the 50 cent Zener. There has to be a reason. Information technology may not be entirely "figured out". When information technology doesn't work information technology's catastrophic.( If you have to have it to the dealer after modding, then information technology's catastrophic). The more than input from successful and unsuccessful attempts the better information technology is for all of united states. Information technology would exist good to know= What yr? What wink version? Did the wiring modify if at all?, annihilation?

Agreed, I have to feel comfy in my own heed when because mods akin to this. I as well tend to stick to ones that are based on the same or almost the same model year every bit my ain vehicle. In my wanderings, I haven't read of anyone mentioning software updates to the TPMS ECU, only engine ECUs. FWTW....
