Default TPMS (check system)

Anyone know how to bypass the TPMS system? Just put my wheels on and don't have the sensors in and I hate the light in my face...

There is no bypass for the sensor. Your only option are 1. Put a secondary sensors in the new wheel 2. Do a pipe bomb and place the sensors in there from a secondary set or your stock 3. Live with the lights on.

If you put secondary sensors its a just put them in and your done or do you have to do another thing for the system to recognize them?

You just need to reprogram as your second set.

Id recommend putting them back in your new set of rims, its a saftey feature that could potentially save you from blowing a tire in the middle of the freeway.
Forgot where I read it at, but a guy said without the TPMS he wouldn't of known he had a nail in his tire, because visually everything looks OK but in reality there was a nail in a hard to see area.
