It is not a wise to disable the TPMS even if it is allowed or you find the way to disable it.

Our 2ISs are equiped with low profile tire (40/45 seris), and many of us even ride on 19 or 20 inches wheels in super low profile spec (30/35 seris). With thin the sidewalls that hold minimum of air in the tires, it is easy to get damaged when running into potholes, speed bumbs, nails... and causing bubbles or flats. Because we used to the hard and stiff ride, these problems are hardly to be noticed. That is the beauty of having the TPMS to save money and life for us!

I suggest you find a reputable shop to make sure the moduels are properly installed and they should have the tool to check if the moduels are damaged or not initially prior to the job. It will be simply by clicking buttoms after that.

Good Luck!
