Q: Tire pressure warning system lights up because i used a nonsensored valve.
Can i disable total warning system off so i don't have to see warning and just monitor pressure the old and proven way
My car has 136000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an integrated system that cannot be disabled. When you did not install a correct tire pressure sensor and installed a regular valve stem the TPMS senses the missing sensor and turns on the warning light.
