Tire pressure sensor system warning

[Modded]

There is no point in that unless you just want to waste pressure sensors.
And I am almost positive that will not work on these SUVs. The sensors send out a signal every 30 seconds regradless, and if they're is no pressure the light will come back on.
Think about it like this, if I flatten your tire while you are parked to a low PSI the pressure light should show right when you get in the car, same goes for this. If this was possible on these SUVs/trucks, somebody would have figured this out by now and posted about it, especially with people trying to save money in this tight economy.

And to address the Tech 2 thing, nobody will change that via Tech2 unless they want to get screwed because it is against the law.

Hey guys;
Put my Blizzaks on the other night, and the Yukon hasn't noticed the lack of tire pressure info yet... How often does the system communicate with the tire sensors?
Now watch, once I've posted this, the warning will be on tomorrow morning...

It is pretty sad that GM won't let you turn off the warning... As if I was going to pay another $40-$60 per tire so that light wouldn't come on... Please. How the hell did I ever manage for the last 20 years without them....? This Yukon computer is turning into a pain in the ass... I much prefer the dumbness of my '02 F150...

Well it will be on soon.
And its not GMs fault, every car on US roadays is required to have TPMS if purchased after 9/1/2007. Doesn't mater if it is BMW or Hyundai.
And you ahd the option of just transferring your sensors to the blizzaks.....

Back in the day, My dad just used electrical tape over the Check engine lights. Lol

Still not on yet... but I'm sure it's coming. Is the TPMS just in the guts of the valve stem? I was under the impression that you needed a whole TPMS valve stem. If it's just the guts, it'd almost be worth transferring them....

Thanks,
Rob

They do use a specific valve stem and then there is a small black 'box' that bolts onto the back of it... If you took your new wheels to a shop they should have been able to pull the stems out of the old ones and put them in your new wheels.

theres 2 types. either or will work. One has a metal body is it a one piece unit. It passes through the rim and held on the other side by a Nut. The second type is a 2 piece. It looks like a valve stem but on the bottom it attaches to the sensor body by a screw.

Just FYI.... I believe the metal ones are discontinued and I don't think you can buy them any more, either. The dealerships only stock the rubber ones in the top pictures--at least the two GM dealerships closest to me that I checked with a couple weeks ago.

2Elo that is true for the Schrader tpms, which is used by alot of brands, like GM. Orange electronics, the other major tpms company still uses the metal ones, but theirs are a two piece metal version.
