Running A 3Rd-Gen Gs Without The Tpms


Recommended Posts

Hi all, just wondering if it is possible to drive a 3rd-gen GS without the TPMS sensors?

Will the car throw a fit and enter limp-home mode or will it just show a warning light at most? Also, is it possible to disable the system alltogether (using the TIS software or otherwise)?

Many thanks :)

I have had intermitent problems with my TPMS system which - fingers crossed - seems to be fixed. The car will operate fine but will show one flashing and one permanent red light on the dash. As one light refers to several possibilities there is the danger that something else could go wrong without you being aware. The other other issue is that the "display" button will not stay on the info you want to show for more than about five seconds before showing a "check system" message.

My enquiries suggest that the system cannot be disabled as it would involve disabling other things at the same time. Or something like that.

I'm sure that others can offer a more technical explanation.
