A lot of us have gotten frustrated with the 997 TPMS functionality. Sometimes it works and many times not.
I plan to have my Indy disable/disconnect my TPMS this spring.

A fellow member wrote out the instructions for disasbling the TPMA and it's buried in a Thread so thought I would post it here:

Can this be done using something other than the PIWIS?

groovzilla

No Idea

rtl5009

yes a fox well n510 elite

Graufuchs

Is this confirmed with this unit?

You also need the factory PCM installed to complete this. For those who have after market units. I have to swap my old unit in to be able to complete this coding.

Great info Graufuchs---->HAd no idea original PCM would be needed to disable but makes sense for communication..

I don't understand why the 997 TPMS is so unreliable 80% of the time and throwing warnings on dash. EVen after changing them out for new. I've experienced this in a few of my 997's that had the feature.
My Mercedes TPMS in SUV and wife's sedan have worked flawlessly for years.

No clue either. Its an annoyance. I have the TMPS light on and the exclamation point. Everything is coded out, but it cannot complete the last step due to no OEM PCM. Not the end of the world but an annoyance.

Will get this done and confirm today or tomorrow. Going to try and use my Autel MP801, which allowed me to kill the majority of the TMPS monitors, just not the PCM side. (Audio)

If the TPMS warning could be turned off w/steering column stalk I could live with it.
But not having ability to turn off the Yellow Tire and Red !warningmakes it a must to get rid of.

I can confirm being able to do the TPMS coding with a Foxwell NT530.

Working on building a Laptop with PIWIS 3. Anyone using Piwis 3? What adapter/tester are you using?

tegraphile

Good to know. My came disabled and I'm tempted to enable it to see if it works.

Also, does anyone have a picture of the module location?

Graufuchs

Located to the right of the brake fluid reservoir in the frunk.

TMPS coded out with PIWIS 3.



Nice to not have those idiot lights on the dash!

Nice work Graufuchs!! ----->Can you catch a quick flight to Seattle and disable mine?

Hey there, could you provide a walkthrough? I disconnected the module and coded the TPMS to 'not installed' but the error light still pops up.
