Default How To Disable the Yellow TPMS Indicator Light ???

I put 18" wheels on my GT3 without tire pressure monitoring sensors. Every time I'm on the track the yellow blinking light goes crazy on the dash. I asked my dealer to disable it and he said it's a 50-50 chance he can disable the light.

Excuse me.... 50-50 chance? There's gotta be a way. I know lots of folks are running 18" wheels. Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Try searching "disable TPMS" - the post right after yours on the search results explains everything.

You didn't try hard enough - go to advance search, type in "disable TPMS" and search water cooled forums. The second thread after yours, post 36 describes it all - the post was by Mooty.

Ok......... GOT IT !

A little off topic here, but how do I save this page in favorites? I noticed the address bar just has www.rennlist.com/
But I know other rennlisters copy pages that link directly to certain pages. I'm doing something wrong here.

Can anybody help?
