Default Another Tpms Solution.
Here is my solution for my tpms.



Use plastic spacers in between sensors. Tighten zip ties more if the light still comes on.

Wow that's cool that it works. Much better solution than mine and others if it holds that for extended time. Just throw them in your glovebox and you are ready to roll.

It should hold and if it doesn't put something harder in between the sensors.

The side that I put the rubber band on is the sensor that actually senses the pressure. So if you press that side of the sensor it acts as if the air is pressing against it.

Nope. You have to put something in between the sensors.

BTW: mardy, 800 bucks if your still interested AND no worries about tpms, put them in the spare already.

*edit* but wait... your tpms are OUT??? so... you got some mooncakes now?

No wheel for me yet. Still deciding which one to get and which suspension. The tpms is from a toyota tacoma. I programmed it as a second set.
