    My new truck, did not have a reading on the tires when I was at the dealer 600 miles from home - just dashes. About 50 miles on my way home, my truck notified me that there is a problem with the TPMS system. I think there was even a pleasant audio message.

    Anyway, I made an appointment with my local dealer, which was today, first thing, first one there. The service fella said it would be a couple of days due to volume, and they wouldn't have a loner until December. I'm not in a position to be without a vehicle for days for what seems like a 2 hour diagnosis and repair. With that in mind, Can I disable TPMS alert and it's dash lights and beeping? I know how to use a manual tire pressure gauge. It would be nice to just turn it off and forget about it, since it's non essential.

    Thank you!

    I did use the search feature, but one really needs to dig on some things. I'm not totally lazy, but I want to make sure I'm following the line of expertise.

    Sounds like muting or deleting TPMS is a better long term solution than trying to keep it operational, especially if it's non working right off the lot, lol.

    If they weren't programmed correctly or at all, you can pull up to any tire shop and they can do it for cheap and its a pretty quick process from what I've experienced.
