Default Air pressure warning light!

After changing my stock rims with my BR5's the low tire pressure light stays on alllllllllllll the time. Is there a way to disconnect or by-pass the warning light? Or must I buy new sensors for my Lowenhearts? I really don't want to remove the tires to add the sensors. Any ideas? Thanks!

BR5 will not be compatible with air pressure sensor. Just simply ask the tire shop to disconnect the function - simple, hm... maybe maximum $40

I just took my car in to get that warning turned off and the shop said they couldn't do anything about it.

Most tire shops ive been to has no clue what time of day it is let alone how to disable my Lexus tire pressure warning light

Any new info on this subject? Has any body done this or found out how? Or do the people with the aftermarket wheels just have to deal with looking at the warning light all day long? Thanks!

I know the SC430 is a different model, but there is some info on how to disable the tire pressure warning light in the FAQ sticky thread ( page 2 ) in the SC430 forum. It may not be exactly the same but at least it should give you some idea. Maybe you can also try asking the service dept. of your Lexus dealer to help you disable it.

There should be a button in - or just underneath- the glove compartment which you need to push in or push out for factory rims or non-factory rims. I had the same problem and after a full day, the maintenance team figured out the button was in the non-factory rim "mode", which caused the check system warning to stay on after only 55 km after delivery.

That button is for main/second. That used if you have snow tires or rims with another set of sensor id's in it. It will not disable the error.
