so I took the summer wheels off this weekend with the OEM tpms sensors in them. Put back on the stock wheels with NO tpms. Im only running them 3-4 months so I wasnt going to spend the money buying a new set. The shop I took them to wouldnt install the wheels without the sensors cuz they said it was a safty hazard an id be disabling the tpms system. So whatever, i just had them mount the tires and balance the wheels, took them to another shop had them installed on the car. Since then ive drivin about 5 short trips, about 15min. each id say and my tpms light has not lit up on the dash yet?
It will. Do you have your other wheels near by? If so, it reading them. It happen to me all the time, but after a certain amout of miles it lights up again.
It takes about 10 miles, or 20 minutes of driving, not sure which variable it uses, but when i didnt have TPMS in, they would turn on at around the same point in my daily commute to work.
