Ok this may sound dumb but i keep seeing people mention problems with the TPMS. When adding aftermarket wheels, do certain wheels just not accept the TPMS, or is it just certain wheels?

I had a set of JDM Stern wheels, they did not fit with the TPMS. Have that annoying pilot light on now.

it all depends on the size of the tire.....if it is like a 30 series tire the sensor wont't fit inside. i have that problem with that annoying light!!!

Somebody said that you make a PVC pipe tube, put the sensors inside cap them off with a fill valve on one end and presurize the tube. Then throw the tube in the trunk and furget buot it! No blinking light

rjoseman

can you just unplug the light?

i don't think so. but you can take the whole gauge assembly apart and use electrical tape to block the LED from shining through

Open the gauges and put a round black sticker on it. That's my plan.

here is what you do open up dash place electrical tape over the light end of problems tps is for retards that dont care for there cars

^^Please explain how this indicates someone doesn't care about their (not there) car as I'm a retard and slow. I've been driving for 20 years without retard warning lights, oh I mean TPMS so I think I'll be fine as I care enough about my car to use a gauge to see if my tire pressure is low.
From my research the options are limited. If you buy rims and tires that come mounted and balanced you incur a charge to swap the sensors. If you get a new set of sensors with the wheels the dealer has to reprogram the sensors and your old ones will not work. If there were a DIY solution my new rims would be coming with sensors but there isn't.

i would just run normal valve stems

2Hip

I'm confused. How does running normal valve stems fix the TPMS warning light?

coryjames

why do you need the light? and a little piece of electrical tape fixes the light

2Hip

My fault. I thought your point was covering the tpms light was for retards who don't care about their car, but I see your point now. Punctuation in the first post would have made it more clear.

Come on Cory, ease up. You know me, so you know I was just kidding. And 2Hip was just acknowledging that he misunderstood your earlier post. No reason to start loading your gun.

2Hip

So I admit I miss understood you and now I'm a *****.
Yes you probably care more for your car then me as my car is more of an appliance to get me to and from work. I've already had my sport cars that I cared to much for. I'm liking not worrying about this car so much.
Have a nice day and chill a little.

coryjames

sorry its been a day
i have been waiting on parts for 4 months and need them now lol

So I just got some new alloy 17" wheels and they swapped the sensors no problem (45 series tire), they tried to reset the tpms but it wont take. when you turn the key on the light flashes for a minute then stays lit. What gives?

jonmach12

I have to get new ones since mines where stolen with my rims..... $600+ for those things... good thing for insurance
