Disabling the TPM

[fechnerj]

I run a set of mounted snow tires in winter. These replace the OEM tires/wheels which are equipted with the TPM sending units.
Obviously, the warning system indicator light comes on and I get a DIC message. I just push the <--- button on the DIC and the message goes out, but the dash indicator light continues to blink. Is there a fuse that can be pulled to disable the system and turn off the indicator light without affecting other systems?

Nope. It's built-in to the lift gate module. Only way is to install sensors and have them synced to the truck. Or I just put a piece of black tape over the light but the DIC message will return on each startup.

OK, thanks moose.

X 2 for the black tape. Works wonders and I have not given tire pressure light a second thought. Winter in Canada and for now the weather has been extremely nice. Regardless, I still check and adjust the tire pressures every other week. The vacillating temps and the contraction / expansion forces cause the tires on my ride to change fairly frequently. Cheers!

That would be a negative. Doesn't seem to support our vehicles and it's from Europe so even if the cost would be reasonable (79euros, $89USD), shipping would be a killer.
