TPMS Delete
Regarding previous posts about fully deleting TPMS
Knowing Toyota, can’t help but think this procedure would mirror a GS considering others mentioning that merely disconnecting the TPMS ECU doesn’t work just as the Tacoma did.
Only problem being I personally haven’t the time to track where the wires are in a GS but this would certainly seem to work.
If someone else could benefit by this and let others know in the form of pics would help a lot

Because
Sort of the same reason why people choose a car. Personal choice.
I respect others choices and appreciate reciprocity.
Sometimes less is more.
Just looking to get hands on electrical detail
Thanks

I know the TPMS sensors on our vehicles can be a headache but having some sort of tire warning system versus none is always the better option. To add, having a tire shop check your sensors does not require removing the tires. A reputable shop can check all sensors for less than $15 bucks and inform you of which tire is giving the faulty readings.

I truly appreciate the post.
For the same reason I change my own trans fluid, bleed brakes, flush coolant, replace wheel bearings and bought my own hydraulic in home hoist I prefer to check my own tires. Digital gauges are accurate to.00.
I own 6 (sold our W164 which had the option of turning it on or off) cars and service inspection is just part of my regular routine.
Also the same basic reason I bought an “oil service tool” commonly known as a dipstick for our Allroad which has a dash monitor thats also not accurate at all.
Like I mentioned earlier only posting this for specific wiring location.
Thanks

Free wiring diagrams, you should be able to track the tpms sensors wires.

True, about tpms oem here.
Also running a larger aftermarket rim that the tpms stem will protrude past the rim profile.
I am in the process of a solution. I need to do more research but for Homeland security reasons i cant use a “pipebomb”
I’ll post a viable solution asap

Closer to getting a solution I can live with. No bomb in the trunk. No flashing dash lights No BS.
Found Toyoda fixit guys have a dead sure fix. I’ll run down wiring and after that pull out the blow torch.
Wish me luck.
To those who want only the oem full tpms you might wanna block the next few posts

BLOW TORCH!?
Let me know if it's a viable delete.
I doin't want to drop 200 bucks to get rid of a stupid light.
In Canada, there is no requirement for TPMS like in the US. LET US CANADIANS BE FREE OF TPMS!!!!

I see the tpms as a safety, it has saved me once catching a punctured tired right before it went flat. I was on the highway and did not feel or notice it start to go flat. But the light came on and I quickly pulled over and could hear air coming out of the tire. Thankfully, I was able to quickly fill it with air and just enough to limp to the tire shop.
