Disable Tire Pressure Monitoring System on 06 Toyota 4runner
Bought one these a couple weeks ago, after my Intrepid died. A few days after I bought it the tire warning light started flashing. After double checking the pressure in all the tires (including the spare) I came to the conclusion that one of the sensors was bad. I tried the trick of letting air out of each and pumping them back up. When pressure was released all but the spare caused the light to come on steady, so I assume that is the one with the problem.
Anyhow, after doing a little digging I found that shorting the pink/black tracer and white/black tracer at the TPMS unit kills the light. 5 minutes and a inch and a half of buss wire and it’s all fixed. I’ll just have to keep an eye on the tire pressure myself ( I always have anyhow).
Thanks to http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/108176-write-up-how-disable-bypass-tpms.html for pointing that out. I just used bus wire and ran it down inside the connector for each pin. Can pull it out simply if I ever get around to replacing and reprogramming the spare (don’t hold your breathe!)
