DIY - Bypassing Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS / TPMS) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Just curious, if I'm not putting in a switch and don't care if I ever enable the system again, can I just cut and connect the wires to the resistor package instead of using tap splices?

Yes you can.

I wrote it up with use of the tap splices keeping in mind that many people are not comfortable soldering under the dash (and in relatively close proximity to the passenger air bag).

thats what i did and it works fine, i even removed both TPMS modules, one under the dash and one in the paneling behind the trunk. theres a good .02 lbs and weight saved!
