Default How to disable tire sensors?

Ok guys I sold my wheels earlier and didnt get a chance to take my sensors out of the tires. I got it swapped with different set of wheels and 20 minutes on the freeway my tire sensor light went on.
I no longer have the sensors so how do I disable the tire sensor?

you can't. either get your TPMS sensors installed in your current wheels, or buy a second set and reprogram them to your 2is.

I dont like pipe bomb cause if you have a flat driving on the freeway, guess what you wont know and could do more damage. Only way is to put new sensor in your wheels.

check the forum's classifieds and/or ebay. you might be able to save some $ on the replacement set of sensors. It sounds like you would want the protection that the sensors offer. otherwise you'll need to check your pressure often & manually.
