Thanks! |
Federal law prohibits dealers from disabling TPMS even though you as an individual are not required to have it in Minnesota. So even if they can do it they won't.
My tools can read, and reprogram the sensor ID's just like the Dealer or a well equiped tireshop can, but I can't disable them.
You can also reprogram sensors with Techstrem, but not if you have one of the cheap knockoff cables like mine.
I may have a solution for disabling TPMS. I'm currently running my winter wheels without TPMS and got an TPMS light shortly after I switched. I happened to have Techstream Connected for another reason, and I cleared the TPMS error. Since then the light has not come back on. I'd be curious to see if this is really the case so if you want to try it let me know. I'm temporarly without a Windows XP PC that will run Techstream, but I should have that fixed soon.
