The wheels on my car dont have TPMS monitors on them and the obnoxious tire pressure light is constantly "on" on the dash. Is there a way to disable this alert from appearing in the gauge cluster?

 

You can't disable the tpms system. Do your rims accept tpms sensors?

 

not sure, just purchased (used) and it has aftermarket wheels.

 

That's a dealer option. They can just delete all the TPMS code on board using the Techstream but I doubt they will do it for you. (federal law require all newer vehicle must have TPMS) Or you can put a piece of electrical tape on the gauge.

 

I think you can get tpms from ebay and have americastire/discount tires program it for you. I think we have winter mode on this car.

 

thanks guys, ill look at getting some monitors

 

There is a tutorial on making a TPMS pipe bomb somewhere on here. Pretty much you make a PVC pipe with one sticking out of it and the rest inside the canister and pressurize it to your recommended tire pressure and it'll fool the computer into thinking there is a light. Another option is buying a lawnmower tire and putting all the sensors on that
