Anyone figured out how to turn off the TPMS? was created by 300bhpton
Or at least reprogram it?
I really wouldn’t mind if it triggered at say 18psi. Ie something useful if you really had a flat tyre.
Today the bloody system triggered (normally only does it in winter, not summer).
No flat or anything. But all tyres showing as 26psi with drivers rear being highlighted.
Have driven about and got them to show 29psi all round. But the tpms alarm is still present.
I think I had it set to Load rather than Comfort. Which despite the manual not saying what this means. I think I’ve figured it out. It is expecting 26/26psi front/rear for comfort and 26/29psi front/rear for Load.
That said, only a couple of days ago it was showing 26/27psi front/rear on the display and no alarm. So why doesn’t the sodding thing switch off when it gets to 29psi all round? I’ve had to inflate the rears to over 30psi to get the dash to stop looking like a Christmas tree!!!!
It wouldn’t be so bad, but with the TPMS triggered the dash is useless. You can’t use the trip, traffic sign recognition, mpg, range, etc.
And worse. You can’t even access the menu to switch between Load and Comfort. Despite the fact the pressures would have been 100% correct for Comfort. You can’t do anything, not even adjust the clock or even use the TPMS Reset. Forcing you to over inflate tyres just to get the menu options back. It truly is appallingly designed.
Has anyone found either a way of removing the system completely or adjusting the psi value? As said, something like 18psi warning would have true value. Rather than the current setup that has no value and only annoyance.

TPMS, what a pain and for most a warning on the dash to be ignored. Useless legislation, trying to make things safe for the mechanically inept, those that can't check tyre pressures or tell they have a flat when driving along.
Good idea the pressure vessel. Get a steel spare wheel, drill 4 valve holes and fit them all in that, then over inflate the spare and leave it on the back door. Would that work or do they need to rotate?
I don't like electronic gizmos.

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
