2012 TPMS light Disabled

Well, crap. Did the cut/splice mod Oct 27. Was driving yesterday and the light began flashing in the middle of the drive, then stayed on solid. Was off again this morning, but turned on about 10 mins into my commute.

Not sure what happened, maybe the connector is loose, or the wiretap I used is not making a good connection. Either way, I gotta go back in.

 

did this to my 2011 , last week , WORKED NO LIGHT 4 ME yeepeeee

 

Great thread. Got scotch locks from Napa and did this in through the havac panel. A little tight to get it plugged back in, but doable with two flat heads and a little finesse. No more light.

 

Working on a ‘15

 

For many years my TPMS was looking at the tires each day before I drove--that and checking the pressure every couple weeks; still works on my motorcycle...

 

Damn, that was tough because I made it tough lol. When you unplug the wire harness, remove the electrical tape and loom. Work as close to the plug as possible lol. I didn’t remove the electrical tape near the plug and tried to work on it from the middle half of the harness. It took forever but finally got it done. Also plugging harness back in sucked. Shine a flashlight through the small crack under the opening to see where the plug and plug-in is. And just play around. Hopefully you won’t have to plug and unplug twice like I did (since I didn’t get a good tap-in on the red wire the first time). I have shorty stubby fingers too. Thanks OP

 

Just did this to my 2009 and it worked just flawlessly. Thanks OP

 

Just did this during lunch at work. Hoping the light stays off. Awesome write up

 

Sub'd. Awesome.

 

Just did this, it took about 30 mins start to finish. WORKS GREAT! Thank for the info and great pictures Vigo

 

This light has annoyed me for far too long! It worked flawlessly on my 09. Thanks OP!!!!!!!

 

Finally got this done. God bless you friend.

 

Did this to my 2015 over the weekend.

After 3 1/2 years, no more light on the dash!!!!

Thanks OP!

 

Just did this to my 2015 as well. Works like a charm.

 

Oh finally found it! Had done that on my 2012 tacoma! Got 2013 now and took me an hour to find the thread cause that light is bugging me !
Great write up man!
Hi5

 

Seen the thread pop up again and said its time. Took about 5 minutes to complete the mod and another 30 to plug the connector back in. Either way no more light!

 

So... just tried this mod tonight and my TPMS light is gone...... but...... now my airbag light is permanently on! Any one have any idea how this could have happened, and what I could do to fix it??

Thanks!!

 

Nehr mind ... figured it out. Missed a plug behind the radio unit.

 

@TimberTiger in case you wanted to

 

Yeah ive had this bookmarked for a while, just waiting for another excuse to tear my dash apart so i can kill 2 birds with one stone.
