Cutting those two wires fools the Tire Pressure Warning System into thinking that the car is not moving and the engine is not running. The TPWS will not report an error if it doesn't hear from the tire sensors as long as the car is not rolling and the engine is not running. |

My daughters car seem to idle low and loose pick-up and have flat spot on throttle tip-in when the heater or headlights or radio are on. Is there a power buss or GND I can check that may be intermittent? Also does the Cluster dimmer use PWM PSU for voltage control for brightnes or is it just a ballast pot (I'm thinking NO here in digital age). Reason I ask is, I was driving here car and someone knocked-off the display brightness, I turned the knob to mid range and I lost power and engine got buzzy on the highway. May just co-incidence. I wondering if this car is hyper-sensitive to noise on the power buss - also given SS regulated DC which is pretty noisy too - enough to false certain sensor input? I suppose what I am getting at when you drive car initial reaction is - this car has electrical problem - it s over sensitive to control settings. Everything off it runs OK again after ~ 1 cold and a couple HOT key-on/key-offs. This is bad enough I consider SELLING it since it appears on the unrepairable given the tech training level we have around here (NH). Possibly anything I should look for on the hand held - like fuel trim or low E at ECU buss? I want to look for a pattern of corrupted look up tables (and I dont have OBDii scanner, but plan to purchace one.)
Thank you |

Mines didnt work either, my light came on after 15 miles or 15 minutes of driving. Started the car with no TMPS indicator light, shut the car off and cut the 2 wires and cap them and re-plugged the harness. Tired doing this twice, the second time I made sure the TMPS indicator lights wernt present and I disconnect and reconnected the lights came on after 15 miles.

The system has to be in comm with the sensors when you do the mod (step 1). You need to have the sensors on your old rims (with tires) and have them next to the car before you shut it off and cut the wires.

Thats what I did, all 4 tires w/TMPS sensor were next to my new rims, then I started the car, no TMPS lights, then I shut off the car, then I cut and cap the wires, it was groovy for about 15 minutes.

I had the factory rims with the sensors when I did all the steps. After I finished and saw the that the light was off I change the rims.
