That pesky TPMS

[SHOZ123]

One problem on new cars are the Tire Pressure Monitoring sensors. If you swap wheels then you have to either buy new sensors or put up with the nanny light. Here's and ingenious and cheap solution....


But if I knew the DTC that it tripped I could probably shut it off with the SCT software.

You can buy a TPMS kit from American Muscle for $150. I can imagine what would happen if you ever got your car searched with that in it!

On my '04 V, if I used race tires, the TPMS readout would just show the tires until I drove out of range for a total of about 40 miles. But it would never trip a light. So if I drove at the track, it wouldn't read zero if the signal was lost, it would just read the last measured reading. If I drove to the autocross on slicks, the system would reset with -- after about 40 miles. Either way would not trip a light or disable the Stabilitrak to full on...


I've got to check that on the new one...
