Thanks for your video. After watching this, I gathered up enough courage to attempt this myself on my 2016 Fiat 500 pop. The only thing I did differently was I used a blob of black silicone and a small piece of gorilla tape to effectively block it out. Put everything back in place and it worked. Thanks again.......
I took a pair of pliers to the little light on the circuit board and tore it off. Then the seat belt light stayed on. So I tore it off too. Lastly, the ABS light took over, and out it came too. All three must have been sharing the same circuit.
Most excellent! Even though I do all my car work and solder etc I am a little intimidated by removing the dash and gauge cluster. But you did an awesome job. Thanks
Requiring people to keep tpms sensors in their Vehicles is bullsh!t . Just put rubber valve stems in... buy a cheap tire pressure gauge and check it yourself... I had a shop replace mine and I had tpms sensors in them when I gave them the wheels but when I picked up they had rubber valve stems.. And I didnt know the tpms sensors went out 4 or 5 years down the road... That's BS!!
it is actually not illegal to disable your own TPMS sensor. Honda made a case that if people put on aftermarket rims or tires, the light being constantly on would desensitize people to the warning light and its actual function on unmodified vehicles so the actual law is for vehicles 2006 and newer, manufactures are required to equip the vehicle with TPMS. Owner are allowed to disable them, or have them disabled but i would put that in writing as a modification if you sell the car. The other laws that were included ( it is illegal to disable or remove any SRS component or restraint belt) still holds.
I check my tires weekly anyway, so I could certainly live without this TPMS Nuisance. I hate when I see it on all winter long, especially when I switch over to Snow Tires on Steel Rims and the TPMS Sensors are not interchangeable on my Alloys...completely different Stems.
There are other methods out there for disabling the light. (Toyot Turdra) I'm looking into that now but really need to get a diagram before shorting out wiring. IMO tire stores want as it is a cash cow. $60 to replace one and actual cost is $15 per sensor. Break tire and reinstall sensor and the pare it to controller. 5 min job.

I had a similar issue but all my sensor were checked and were working. I disconnected the fuse inside the car and restarted my car with the fuse off. The fuse was good. I turned off the car and put the fuse back in. Turned the car on again and the warning did not show up again.
i used a sharpie to dim it. its still there but it doesnt dazzle me in low light anymore . as a bonus if i decide to replace the sensors i can wipe off the ink with some alcohol and shes good to go.
WHO MADE THIS LAW MUST KEEP TPS SENSORS ON ," HOA !! ..WE SHOULD HAVE AN OPTION INSTALLED TO TURN OFF THESE ANNOYING LIGHT WHICH IS NOT EASY OR CHEAP TO FIX.. MY WHOLE ENTIRE FAMILY AND I WANT TO THANK THIS PERSON FOR GIVING US THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT LIGHT TURN ON AND OFF WHENEVER WE FEEL LIKE IT ,THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO AND TAKING YOUR TIME , THANK YOU GOD BLESS.
Great that you can do that but for inexperience people who do not have electronic and soldering skills especially ESD knowledge this could be a bad result with the chance of electronic static discharge and damage other components so beware!
So I live in Florida and have to ask do you swap rims and tires every winter? And just don’t have tpms in your winter wheels because of the $150 it costs?
I think you can get those to talk with your phone (via bluetooth?) but I'm not aware of any which report to the vehicle's TPMS. Also, they might throw off wheel balance if they're too heavy...
got that right. i took apart a chevy trax gauge console. most is just clips. and a couple of screws. but when i attempted to remove the gauge panel from the circuit board i couldn't remove the needle speed indicator. not sure if you can. it runs through and is mounted inside a small white plastic housing. so i just took a piece of trimmed electrical tape and placed it on the black surface over the light. now light is gone. there is supposed to be a tpms emulator that will shut down the system. only I'm unable to find anything in detail about it. i drove cars for 40 years with no nothing. now its a packed full of worthless bullschit. like side radar, etc. guess that's all for those illiterate moron jerkoffs that aren't capable of driving a real car. if i can disconnect it or shut it off consider it done. now i wish i had kept my 76 el camino with a rebuilt 69, 327 engine. i even got an emission wavier because the engine was built before a certain year. now I'm screwed. i had a dodge caliber right low beam burn out and it shut down the high beams. i had to pay a jackazz dealer $90 bucks just to reset the tpms module. i almost reset his teeth arrangement over the event.
Hi my name is Ben and I bought 2008 Honda CRV and I have this tpms sign. Don’t know how to open dashboard if you can send a video how to open I’ll be great full. Thank you
Canada, though, doesn't require TPMS on new cars and there are no federal or provincial rules against disabling it, Transport Canada says. If the dealership wont disable it when you buy it then don't buy it.
Tires don't have tpms sensors. The tpms sensor is underneath your valve stem on your wheel. The sensor will stay installed if you get new tires. The issue is the tpms sensors' batteries go dead or they need to be reset. You cannot replace the battery on these sensors and they need to be replaced.
I thought the sensors were in the wheels nothing to do with the tires.. the backside of your valve steam that need calibration (for location) after rotating the tires.
In this case it's on because of how I've wired the switch. The switch has 3 leads (the two inputs being switched, and one ground, which makes the light activate when the inputs see 12V and are connected). You can turn off the light, as wired, by switching the switch off, by resolving the TPMS error, or by disconnecting the switch's LED ground.
WE have a 2010 Ford escape that I turned off by watching some videos. now we have a 2016 Honda crv and that option is not available, I guess. so out comes the black tape just in case we sell the car in the future. Thank you
hello, nice video. anyone knows how to disconnect on the cdi mercedes a180 w178 2015 year. they are crazy placed useless sensors but important for spare tyre no place. mercedes crap become!

Great idea!!! Not disabling the system, but disabling the warning light.
Cool idea. 👍

Super clever. Ms. Piggy is very fortunate to have such an intuitive handy man at home.
Underrated comment. 😂
I'm glad it's illegal to disable tpms light. I love to break any law I can !
It's not illegal to disable it. They just can't sell a new car off the lot with it non functional
They're making me a criminal😎Stick it to the man.😁
YES 🔥😈🔥
This has been a big stress of mine, thanks for the help! I will stay subscribed with notifications on.
Exactly what I needed to know thank you sir

I do the same and this light never goes away....
Thank you VERY educative

removing the light will only work with a limited number of models because so many will also send a message across that little screen.
This is a very good point haha.
i used a sharpie to dim it.
its still there but it doesnt dazzle me in low light anymore .

cant be anulate? permanently?
So I live in Florida and have to ask do you swap rims and tires every winter? And just don’t have tpms in your winter wheels because of the $150 it costs?
Yep basically. 😅
Gotta be a better way.
Is there a reason why i cant get something like wireless tire pressure sensor caps??
I think you can get those to talk with your phone (via bluetooth?) but I'm not aware of any which report to the vehicle's TPMS. Also, they might throw off wheel balance if they're too heavy...
Good idea. But some of our gauge clusters are a serious pain in the ass to get out of the dash.
got that right. i took apart a chevy trax gauge console. most is just clips. and a couple of screws. but when i attempted to remove the gauge panel from the circuit board i couldn't remove the needle speed indicator. not sure if you can. it runs through and is mounted inside a small white plastic housing. so i just took a piece of trimmed electrical tape and placed it on the black surface over the light. now light is gone. there is supposed to be a tpms emulator that will shut down the system. only I'm unable to find anything in detail about it. i drove cars for 40 years with no nothing. now its a packed full of worthless bullschit. like side radar, etc. guess that's all for those illiterate moron jerkoffs that aren't capable of driving a real car. if i can disconnect it or shut it off consider it done. now i wish i had kept my 76 el camino with a rebuilt 69, 327 engine. i even got an emission wavier because the engine was built before a certain year. now I'm screwed. i had a dodge caliber right low beam burn out and it shut down the high beams. i had to pay a jackazz dealer $90 bucks just to reset the tpms module. i almost reset his teeth arrangement over the event.
Kermit has gone techno!
Is there a light on the switch you installed dimming the dash lights?If so, maybe a simpler switch with no light indicator'ya know
Yep! I don't mind it since the objective is for the light to stay off.
”So in order to turn of this light you add a button with another blinking light into your car to stop the original light”
Its illegal to sell a car without tpms?
Hi my name is Ben and I bought 2008 Honda CRV and I have this tpms sign. Don’t know how to open dashboard if you can send a video how to open I’ll be great full.
Thank you
🎉🎉🎉 genius tip 🎉🎉🎉 ❤
"my solution to turning off this light is really simple" Step one: take your entire dash apart. Step two: wish you never did step one.
Canada, though, doesn't require TPMS on new cars and there are no federal or provincial rules against disabling it, Transport Canada says. If the dealership wont disable it when you buy it then don't buy it.
You could have just said they can’t be disabled. I got The tire pressure monitors at Walmart for $58.00. You don’t have to buy tires with them
Would this method work with an annoying ABS light?
Yeah this could work for anything really!
Tires don't have tpms sensors. The tpms sensor is underneath your valve stem on your wheel. The sensor will stay installed if you get new tires. The issue is the tpms sensors' batteries go dead or they need to be reset. You cannot replace the battery on these sensors and they need to be replaced.
True. In my case, I've got a separate set of wheels with winter tires missing sensors.
@@avsti some people can not keep up,,,
🤣 I give this video a thumbs up! That was smart
You need to sign up for the voice of Kermit the frog!!!...you could be making some serious money...because the new voice of Kermit sucks!
Good idea to turn it off but it will not pass inspection this way.😢
It’s just a light people, live with it for 3 months & then party up when it goes off in spring.
Tires do not have the TPMS in them.... they are on the wheels...
The tpms sensor is on ur RIM, not ur tires so u do NOT need to replace when u do tires. The battery in sensor does go bad so if its lit, sensor is bad
Good point. This is an aftermarket set of wheels and tires without TPMS.
They make a program called FOR SCAN . Disabled all that
Looks like it works with Ford / Mazda vehicles. Thanks for sharing!
I thought the sensors were in the wheels nothing to do with the tires.. the backside of your valve steam that need calibration (for location) after rotating the tires.
Yep that's correct. I conflated wheels and tires since I have a separate set of wheels solely for the snow tires mounted on them.
I think I will just ignore it or put something covering it up.
How do you turn off the light
In this case it's on because of how I've wired the switch. The switch has 3 leads (the two inputs being switched, and one ground, which makes the light activate when the inputs see 12V and are connected).
You can turn off the light, as wired, by switching the switch off, by resolving the TPMS error, or by disconnecting the switch's LED ground.
$200-$300 every 5 years to replace them is a PITA.
I did the cheapest option, put a piece of black electrical tape over the idiot light only. :)
@@daveyt4802 Right on! 👌😂
@@daveyt4802 That's where I was going, lol!
What is crazy is the dealer charges up to a grand or so but the sensors are only 10 each or less online lol. Good ole stealership.
Here its free :0
WE have a 2010 Ford escape that I turned off by watching some videos. now we have a 2016 Honda crv and that option is not available, I guess. so out comes the black tape just in case we sell the car in the future.
Thank you
That's funny that it's illegal to sell the car without the system, but you can sell one with the light on/system not working!
You could just take the fuse out under the backseat
Rather than do all that work, why don’t you simply replace the TPMS Sensors?
aren't TPMS sensors like $5?
79$
this is the most dumbest, lot of effort DIY and yet interesting!!
hello, nice video. anyone knows how to disconnect on the cdi mercedes a180 w178 2015 year. they are crazy placed useless sensors but important for spare tyre no place. mercedes crap become!
Could i just break the bulb? Lol
What is tpms
You dismantled your car for a light. 😅
it look very hard. it's alot easier just replace the tpms censored
Just get the tpms sensor it’s cheap
I put a sticker lol
Dude!!!!!!! Lol
This is a Bs light for dealers to rob you...i pay no mind to that light...
Take the bulb out of the gauge cluster
Yeah if you watch the video that's basically what I ended up doing.
id take the led out for good
OMG
I just want to disable. Too much to do
are you kidding me?
What did you expect? :)

dont you have a tripod
Buster BROWN he cant raise any patreon money because his video doent get to the point
When is the last time that you put a tripod in your car to record a video
Brilliant. You effectively replaced one obnoxious light for an obnoxious button that also obnoxiously lights up. Well dumb.
Maybe you missed it - neither lights up when switched off.
Mountain Top77 Nailed it.
Bot
stupid idea
They installed these stupid lights for women, and us men are forced to put up with it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s because you men get into trouble if you don’t have useless things to tinker with.
Idi$$$
Tpms is just a junk feature!!!
