HAve To Use Spare: How to disable TPMS light? - Toyota Yaris Forums

ricktoyota73 · 01-09-2014, 12:00 AM

I was able to disable the TPMS light in my 2008 by cutting one wire (thanks, CTScott!). Is there a simple solution for a 2014? TIA!

No. For the 2nd gen TPMS was really an afterthought, where it was a totally separate system (non CAN Bus) that simply drove an LED in the cluster by its own wire to the LED. With the 3rd gen it is now fully integrated and it sends CAN Bus messages to the cluster to control the light.

Thanks! So, it's deal with the light or an additional set of sensors on the new ones, huh?
