My TPMS works, I have winter tires which have working sensors, but in my summer wheels I guess there are no sensors, because I can't connect them to the car. Is there a chance to disable the TPMS witch i really don't need, because I'm old fashioned and check my car before I drive and I feel a flat tire.

But I want to switch of this annoying yellow tire warning in the instrument cluster and I don't want to click everytime I drive to remove the check tire pressure message

Anyone has an idea?.

I just continue to hit the button on the steering wheel to make it go away. It has to be done after every start, but I really don't care. Doesn't bother me enough to go out and get a set of new sensors.

Hitting the button after startup has become part of the pre-flight procedures for me. No big deal. Not spending $ on that silly thing. I check my tires fairly regularly and fill as needed before they become a problem.

Thank you all for the good ideas. Especially the one with the pipe was funny.

Why should I get four sensors and bother with tubes when I can put them right into the tires where they belong?

I wanted to turn off the system so the message wouldn't bother me anymore. Of course it's not bad, it's just a push on the steering wheel button.

In addition, I now get the yellow warning light with the tire pressure in the instrument cluster.

Does anyone know why this comes separately? Or is that the message that the system cannot find its sensors?

I'll get some sensors soon and have the tires pulled off. A neighbor of mine has a tire machine, that's no problem.

Just thought i could turn off the system temporarily.

no option to turn it off, now that I think of it there is one or 2 guy's that sell a device to "spoof" the system, they ship from outside of the country
