how to turn off tpms warning light?

hi there, i've just switched my rim and tire for the winter and was wondering if there is a way to turn off the annoying tmps waring light in the dash.

i have a 09 sport.
thanks

Unless you have the TPMS, not really. You would either have to remove the bulb behind the Speedo or put black tape over the light

I can find out.. but someone on here may already know..

Does anyone with an UpRev tune have the TPMS dash light turned off? I'd imagine that would be an easy thing to kill, and good for guys who are already tuned..

You can't make the light go off unless you put the TPMS sensors in each wheel and then reset them. There's no other way to make the light go off. The sound you hear has nothing to do with the monitors, it's a completely separate unrelated issue.

I have a second set of wheels with new (non-oem) TPMSs and they have been re-set by the installer 4 times. The dam light continues to light up after being re-set. Sometimes it's after 10 min, sometimes it's a day later. WTF! Installer says bring in the original units from my stock wheels and they will refund my $ for their set. I bought the second set to have 2 fully functioning wheel set ups with working TPMS. Now I get to look at the little light flashing at me for a couple of minutes then stay on solid. Is there really that much difference between TPMS units that my '10 Journey Sport can't communicate with something other than the OEM?
