    My harness was tucked way up in there, so I gave up and did the light disable instead. Really, that all I cared about was removing the annoying light in the dash, could care less if it uses a little bit of power to the controller. If you need what little bit of power the controller consumes, you need more than this mod.

    Okay so I decided to try muting the light because that's all I wanted. Well the Toyota Nation guide had broken photos so I used this guide as the reference and it didn't work in my 2015. The light constantly blinks now even when reconnecting the two wires with a male female plug. Guess it's back to the old true muting by ripping out the dash and removing the LED... Just wanted to give you all a heads up for you newer trucks out there... Honestly vehicles shouldn't even have a tpms system if our country hadn't raise a bunch of friggen morons. Yup a little pissed it didn't work. But more so that I even have to do this stupid mod with aftermarket rims...

    Anyone with a 2015 (or 2012+ I'm assuming) able to get their TPMS light off?

    Still no luck with mine. I talked to another member who showed me a completely different wire that he used a nice thick solid yellow wire. I haven't tried it though my plan is still to take out the dash and remove the led.

    I just disabled my 2015 TPMS starting from the second part in this thread - basically the part that shows the passenger side. I also tapped the blue wire into the 5 volt source.

    So far no TPMS light.

    Testing the connection:

    Than I must have mucked up something... I'll probably give it a go again one day when its warm and dry. Is yours the V6 not sure if that changes anything or not.

    Yes, V6. Did you do blue wire to blue wire like my first picture shows? If so, what kind of connector did you use? I HATE t-taps like I used but coincidentally I had two laying on my bench so I decided to give it a shot.

    No I was just attempting to mute the light by grounding the wire tucked behind everything but it did nothing for me. So I'm going to give it a go again later this spring, if it doesn't work I'll try hotels method if that doesn't work I'll rip out the gauges a take the LED out. (Yea that's a lot of work but I have a lot of hate for this TPMS system too)

    Oh, that's the problem right there. Older ones you ground, newer ones you tap into a 5 volt source like my first picture shows.

    That is correct. The plug on the far right is a little tight to get to, luckily I have small hands, but just yank on it as much as you can to slice the tape

    What a pain in the mother fcking dick! But it's off (for now). Thank you so much for your advice. Really wish I would have known it needed power and not to be grounded cutting the wire is what screwed me the most! Anyone looking to mute the TPMS light on a 15 follow his post it works and would have been so simple if I had not cut the damn wire the first attempt. Thank you again!
