Re:Anyone figured out how to turn off the TPMS?

It does also raise the issue of insurance companies using a tpms delete or defeat to withhold cover on the basis of the system being a legally required one if a loss adjuster feels it was a contributing factor in a collision. If there is an excuse they will exploit it.

Hello, new JB74 owner here and new member, thank you so much for having me. I've bought 5 steel rims and built a second set of wheels. Originals (alloys) have std tyres and sensors, but I didn't bother to buy extra sensors for the second set of wheels. My problem is I can't override the darn warnings and get access to the dash settings (in German...) Thank you experts! Kind regards, Filipe de Menezes

Direct TPMS is not very customer-friendly and makes a second set of wheels about £150 more expensive, but I think the old indirect type, based on ABS sensors, is no longer allowed on new cars.

It will be interesting to see what happens when the sensor batteries start to fail on older cars.  A new set of valves with removing, refitting, and rebalancing the wheels,  could cost £250 but will be needed to get through the next MOT.  I predict dodgy solutions will be offered by back street garages.

have a look at this ebay item 273127628807 nowt to do with me but i have ordered the corded version for myself

Thank you Baldy, will get one.

In the meantime, still can't access the onboard computer, help me please.

Thank you!

It was freezing last night and the TPMS came on. I tyre at 25psi and the other 3 at 24psi.As this was not a problem I continued on to the gym. On my way I noted what the dash lights were doing. All the central lights had turned to orange and the middle batch were flashing with the pressures of the 4 tyres. There had been one beep from the system and another when I came home. My suggestion is to cover up the flashing section with cardboard or similar . This way you will not be distracted by flashing lights and you can set the pressures to your own requirements.
N.B. I accept no responsibility for this suggestion. You do so at your own risk in the knowledge that you may or may not be breaking the law in regards to ignoring a warning that you are driving with inappropriate pressures in your tyres. I have not tested to see if a further reduction in pressures may invoke a warning buzzer.
