Need TPS disable procedure
Does anyone know a procedure to disable the TPS tire pressure sensor light on the dash? Sensors in the wheels went bad and I don't want to breakdown the tires and pay for new sensors. I have a gauge and know how to use it . I have a 997.1 GT3.
Thanks

somewhere on here is step by step on how to remove the TPMS box (on driver side, frunk, i believe?). also need a durametric or similar to turn the actual feature off.

TPMS
1: First you must actually disconnect the TPMS control unit so that the CAN Controller does not continue to recognize it. The control unit is located in the front trunk next to brake fluid reservoir. Remove and unplug the dome light on the cowling plastic. Remove all of the screws that hold this entire plastic panel in. There are a good number on top by the seal and one on each side by the bottom.
2: Now unplug the control unit it is part number 997 618 103 06, Do not remove it. This way you can always just plug it back it and use it again.
3. Reassemble the front trunk again.
4. Hook up the PIWIS tester to the car via the OBD2 port and do a complete check of all the control units.
5. Select "Gateway" and then "Coding" then ""Required Control Units List". This will list all installed CAN units.
6. Now select "Tire Pressure Monitoring System" and change to " Not Installed" and code it, then exit to the main screen again.
The next steps will code your instrument cluster and to do so will require that you have your engine number, so have it handy, you will find out why.
7. Select "Instrument Cluster" and then "Coding" then "Vehicle Variants".
8. Now select your "Model Year" then "Model", "Roof Version", "Country" (02 is for USA, Puerto Rico). The next item will be "Versions" (553 is USA/Canada).
9. Select your "Individual and exclusive equipment" by highlighting each item that would apply such as: 454-Cruise, 023-Silver Colored Gauge faces etc. DO NOT select 423/483 TPM!!!! This is the TPMS for the cluster and must not be highlighted.
10. Move to the next screen and finish the "Audio and Communication " by highlighting what applies to your car.
11. Next will be the "Wheel Size" and finally it will ask about your engine number.
12. Proceed forward and then Code with F8.

and to be more precise, Durametric Pro
There are two main differences between the Enthusiast and Professional Kits:
1. The number of cars supported:
The Professional kits support an unlimited number of cars. The Enthusiast kits support up to three cars only. The limitation of the Enthusiast kit is based on the car's VIN - not model.
2. The Coding and Command Console features:
Beginning with Durametric version 6, Durametric supports the Coding and Command Console features. These features are included with the Professional kits only.
The Coding feature provides for the ability to enable or disable predefined features in the car such as airbags, daytime running lights, cruise control, and the rear spoiler where applicable.
The Command Console feature is a means of communicating with the control units using very low-level communications. This feature is very seldom used.

I deactivated my TPMS for a month or so while I got some wheels and tires sorted out. I reactivated it today and it works fine but now I have other problems air bag, PASM, PSM, and I think traction control. We’re using a Durametric Pro with no luck trying to sort this out, I think we’ll download the Durametric software again tomorrow and give it another try.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

are your wheel/tire EXACTLY the same size as OEM. if not, that lead to quite a few problems.
