Whywhywhy? For any reliable car owner, this is just a total cash-grab. This new-2-me 2010 has it and of course the dash light is on constantly...unless i press reset. There has to be owners here who have deactivated the system. Anyone have directions or a link ?Thanks
 
Can’t. It’s federally mandated to be there. Just replace the sensors. Aftermarket kits can be purchased and programmed.

You would need to recode the tpms system. So find a custom code patch or another similar truck without that system. Don't think you would have much luck either way.

Screw that...its not mandated in Canada.There are many ways to over-ride this idiotic SAFETY feature. Just wondering if anyone here has done any. The more i read about this the surer i am that it does more harm than good...it doesnt show fault until 25% underinflation, many have to be reset if tires rotated,doesnt work on after-market rims, can actually EXPLODE in certain conditions etc.etc.If a driver doesnt see that a tire is underinflated by OVER 25%, than he doesnt care anyway and shouldnt be driving,period.I will get this idiot-light ( so appropriate here ) off...and it wont be by paying hundreds $$$ for 2 sets of unnecessary b.s.
 
your choice, your life, your safety.... aftermarket kits are 50-100 and programing is cheep.... Some tire places install valve sensors and program at same time. good luck finding a bypass.
OR go here.... people have used this but its not 100%
