Hey, not to hijack such a useful thread but I did want to tell you guys that Costco will reprogram sensors for nothing, according to the tires manager with whom I spoke today. Walmart will do it for $20 for the whole vehicle: http://www.walmart.com/cp/Tires-Services/495845. The dealership charges much, much more, as CTScott mentioned in his original post. Just wanted to throw this out there if anyone is disabling because they swap tires seasonally and considered the price of programming prohibitively expensive.

This thread is all about not having the annoying light on the dash when you don't have wheels with the sensors on your car. They are a needless joke to begin with.

Of course they aren't necessary and I understand the purpose for the thread. But I would imagine that my information might benefit a few people who might be reading this thread because they think reprogramming when swapping will be costly... since it is costly if you reprogram at a dealership.

Hey guys. I have a 2009 Scion (toyota) xb. I have had this light annyoying the bejesus out of me for 2 years....in fact since I bought it. I think the dealer didn't bother putting them back in when they installed new tires when I purchased it. Seeing the dealer was 150 miles from where I bought it, I just left the light on. Question is, does anybody know if this fix will work on my car too? Are the wires the same? Is it in the same relative location? I can't find any info on where the box is in my car. Any info is appreciated. Hate to hijack the forum as I don't own a Yaris, but this is great information and looks super easy. Thanks.

I had forgotten about having done this mod, until the light came on last week. Of course, I should have expected it since my winter tires don't have TPMS stems, but it still took me by surprise. Strangely enough, all I could think of when it came on, was of an anthropomorphic Yaris screaming, "I can't feel my tires! AAAAUGH!"

Let me see what I can find out about the wiring diagram. Shouldn't be too hard to come up with. I'l probably just buy a service manual. It's the only car I have never bought one for. Thanks. J |

Hi Guys, I'm hoping this thread is still alive. I need to bypass the tpms for my 2008 4Runner and my wire colors are really different than what's been described. My hot lead is black with a red stripe. My red (with a yellow stripe) is 12v and I have 2 pinks, one with a black stripe and the other with a yellow stripe. I've attached the photos to see if anyone else has run into this tpms harness where every wire has a stripe of some sort. Any help is deciphering this wire mess will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks. Last edited by carlisle737; 11-27-2012 at 09:57 PM. Reason: bad picture link |

Does this help, CTScott? |

Different - That one has 16 pins whereas the 2008 has 12.

I've seen so many posts for the 4runner bypass, but every post has the wiring you guys describe for the Yaris (and pretty much every other Toyota). I think Toyota decided to use all there spare wire stock in the 08 4runner. This vehicle has thrown me more curves that I can swing at.
But I have a feeling a Yaris couldn't pull my boat, so I'll have to make due. Thanks for the comments though. I once again have hope that the light will go away. |
