I just put a piece of black tape over the light when I changed the rims. Didn't feel like cutting wires.

CT Scott, is this this the way it's done in an easy to understand pic?

OK then.
SO, this method does NOT require the the light to be off pre procedure OR that the wheels/sensors to be mounted on or near the car before starting, right? Even if you start out with the light on, it does'nt matter this way. Is this all true? Thanks!

The TPWS is completely independent of all other systems on the car. It actually uses legacy ISO-9141 comm, rather than CAN bus, so the ECM doesn't even have the ability to talk to it.

CTScott,
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! This is the first thing I did when I bought my new Yaris a few months back. Sure beats taking the inst cluster out and covering the led for the light! so THANKS AGAIN! Kevin |

Also, is there any identifier such as a part number on the TPWS ECU? I'm really excited to try this! |

info
I did this mod by opening up the tmps module, pulling the pcb, soldering in 3 wires, cutting one, and using a switch screwed into the face, as in the pics a few posts earlier ---- One note: you can easily pull the tpms pcb by using a small flat blade screwdriver on the small plastic tabs on the gray tpms cover.... there is no need for any tools other than that. the tpms cover pops right off and the pcb slides right out. super easy.

I just did this in about ten minutes. You don't need remove the whole black box, remove the connector plug with the wires in it and then carefully pry the clips up on the cover surrounding the connector and remove it. After that the board slides straight out. I just cut one pin lead and soldered it to the one next to it as pictured above. Lights out now! I've been living with that for over four years......
PS It appears the top of the green PC board is conformal coated to protect against moisture and dust. It looks like it's UR vs. the Humiseal acrylic and it's handbrushed on..

So this method replaces the very first post of this entire thread? I'd like the ability to switch back and forth between wheels. Put some different rims/tires and had the TPMS light come on and stay on. |
