GX470 TPMS DISABLE DIY 

Thank you so much for watching commenting and subscribing! Thank you again for adding this valuable information in the comments! Hopefully many GX owners will be able to utilize this information for years to come.

I did that ,and it seemed to work so far , thank you !

byron lee no problem, I’m glad we could help you!

You're so welcome! I’m glad you found this video useful! We appreciate you subscribing!

Thank you very much, we are glad you found this information useful!

Glad I could help! Thank you for watching.

Awesome, wow 35s!!!!! Yeah disabling the TPMS is the way to go on the GX!

Glad to help! We had it on for a bit too until couldn't stand it anymore lol. Thanks for watching!

Thank you I am glad this diy was able to help you out! We got more GX content coming so make sure you stay tuned lol or hit that subscribe and notification bell!

Thank you so much, I’m glad you are enjoying your GX and the channel!

Wow, that is crazy expensive! IMHO TPMS sensors aren’t worth the headache unless they are the really fancy modern systems then maybe. I get it “most people” probably need them but for us gear heads I think it just gets in the way. Especially if you do any off-roading in the vehicle or switch wheels a lot. Like when I had my 997 I would switch my wheel sets a lot and it was always a headache dealing with the extra variable of TPMS sensors.... and the extra money involved. Unfortunately Porsche didn’t have an option to disable TPMS even tho supposedly a lot of 911 owners track their cars. Smh.

I’m glad you found the video helpful and it saved you some money! 🙌🏾

@@KRTLyfe yes It did, thanks a lot!!

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.

Reec Swiney thanks brother!!!! 💯🙌🏾🙏🏾

Will Thomas Jr awesome I’m glad our video was able to help you out! What do you think about that new radio? We are thinking about getting one for our GX!

@@KRTLyfe My wife loves it. I ordered the Apple Car Play dongle and it works great. Lots of cool features. We added a front camera. It's pretty much plug and play. You do have to fine tune it. There are a couple really helpful videos on this. We went from 2004 technology to 2020. Very pleased. Not perfect, but perfect for my wife. It looks beautiful as well. This video helped a lot: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ad7Bd4sxEG0.html Thanks!!

Also...we did have to install a new backup camera. But it's crystal clear now with gridlines. The front camera is super cool as well. You can also download apps. 🤓

@@JeepYotaAdventure thank you for this. My '06 has a very dark camera on it and you can barely see.

Glad it helped

That is awesome glad it worked for you as well.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

Great to hear! Thanks for watching.

Steven Thomas no problem!

Ravi Patel no problem glad we could help you out!!!

Colby Allen that is actually on the list of things to do!!! It will probably be one of the first things we try to do after the world stabilizes.

Colby Allen thanks for watching and commenting we sincerely appreciate it! 💯

Good idea!

Great! Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.

Great idea!

WOW, bypass is the way to go!

Lots of reading on the GX forums.

ben lieberson yes it does. Doing this completely disables the system.

No, sorry I’m not certain about the Buick.

No problem 👍

No, I didn’t know that but it is great information to share with the rest of the GX470 community! Thank you. 💯

This was hugely helpful, I was frustrated the grounding didn't work, this was a piece of cake, thank you so much.

That I am not sure of, I am fairly certain that it is completely different tho. I would check the Lexus forums for additional information.

billj121 I believe it was from the module to ground.

@@KRTLyfe Actuall, at 2:58 you can see that his GROUND WIRE is connected to the connector side of circuit - basically grounding the module and connector side as long as the connector is inserted into the module.

driojal I am not 100 percent certain but I think that it does. I know some vehicles do.

Yes that is correct. You can use any wire really, it doesn’t really matter. Either way you make the connection it should yield the same results as long as you reconnect all the wires. I hope that clears it up for you.

I am not 100 percent sure I would check the Lexus forums.

From what I have heard the wiring is different. I’m sure if you got a wiring schematic you could figure it out tho.

I am not sure, I would check on the Lexus forums to see if anyone has done it yet. Thanks for watching.

Did you find it ?

It could be possible that you disabled the feature by mistake or didn’t reconnect something during the process. I would just back track and make sure everything was done correctly and no switches were hit by mistake or fuses blown.

iamrichrocker thank you again!!! 💯🙌🏾

Plus1HD I haven’t encountered that issue . Our GX doesn’t have the center screen.

there is a way to do that ive read , need to find that thread again ...that shit is the worst lol

If it's the system error when you start your GX just remove the Mayday fuse under the hood.

And this worked like a charm.

Awesome glad this worked out for you! It’s one of the best GX mods lol!

I think I was still in the military when this was made so my hair was all over the place lol.

I didn't unhook the battery.

Glad to help.

Hey thanks for watching, yeah this is only applicable to the GX470. If someone decides to try this on any other vehicle. Yes, they definitely need to do their homework pertaining to the particular vehicle.

What wire is it for the rx400h? I've been looking everywhere best diagram I found only helped me locate it behind the glovebox and attached to the dashboard. I've replaced 4 sensors a wheelbearing and a bent rim nothing helps I'm tired of shops using the parts cannon I could do that on my own. I just want it disabled. Any help you could be with wich wite it is for the rx 400h would be great. One video has a red module with a black connector one video had a brown module with a white connector mine is brown with a black connector and none of the bypass videos or internet forums have the rx 400h.

I am not sure. The process might be similar, but I would definitely research it.

Yep, you can check them out on Epidemic Sound.

@@KRTLyfe nice, thanks!

I am not sure it could be very similar.

You might want to check IH8MUD and see if someone has already done the component level circuitry homework. Cheers to you for the extra diligence!

@@KRTLyfe Good call! IH8MUD has a post that explains the 07+ has a different TPMS module, red in color instead of green. That's what mine is. And sure enough, according to the post the blue wire is supposed to get hooked up to 5V, which we get by tapping it off the adjacent 5V reference wire. A lot of people recommend jumpering the two wires, but nobody has confirmed that forcing the blue wire to 5V doesn't fry the board. I plan to reverse the fix when I'm due for new tires, at which point I'll just install all 4 new sensors. I have an electrical terminal removal tool, so I'll try popping the blue wire out of the connector so it's properly disconnected. I guess I could cut it too, but reversible fixes are best. :)

The terminals are really stuck inside that connector, I couldn't get them out. A replacement TPMS computer is $95 used, so I don't want to risk frying mine. I just ordered a set of 4 sensors for $45 and watched videos of how to de-bead the tires using a scissor jack. Sensors are cheap enough that everyone should change them along with the tires to avoid ever having a dead battery. I might put in the extra work of pressing a tire and change my one dead sensor now, install the other three when new tires are due.

@@charvakkarpe don’t forget to order a sensor for your spare tire as well. From my what I remember. I think the spare also communicates with the TPMS system. I really hope those TPMS sensors work for you. I was also looking to go that route until I saw all the mixed reviews for those cheap sensors. You also need to be sure you get the right frequency. You probably already know this stuff but just in case. For me I already have a negative bias towards TPMS 😂, combining that with changing wheels and running low tire pressures, changing altitudes and climates. It’s just wasn’t for me. Instead I got this really neat tire pressure gauge/deflator from Harbor Freight and an air compressor. For my usage the money was better spent in this direction.

@@KRTLyfe That makes sense. I wouldn't care if it was just me driving the car. I rent it out on Turo, so it's better to have no warning lights, and even better to have functional warning lights. I've been known to slip a carefully cut piece of foil tape underneath the instrument cluster face to block the check engine light until I got around to an emissions repair. Renters who choose a GX470 are the type who are fine with being told the TPMS batteries are just dead, but as we get into this summer's high prices, the car really should be flawless. Still gotta do the timing belt and I think a ball bearing at the front differential output (already tried the wheel bearing) before I set it to unlimited miles to get these tire treads finished off. Michelin Defenders run forever, there's so much rubber there compared to the weight of the truck. The presumably counterfeit TPMS sensors have the right Toyota part number and are used on a variety of cars, including 3 of my 13. I wonder if they're just global market versions, for countries that can't afford our prices. I'll save the old sensors and dig out the batteries for replacement, just in case.

Anthony Nguyen the blue wire can be any generic wire.

Can half or silver part of speaker wire work?

@@KRTLyfe can half of speaker wire be used?

I didn’t have those issues nor have I heard of anyone else having that type of issue. It could be possible that you disconnected something else or pushed a button somewhere. These are different systems and shouldn’t affect one another.

That would be awesome if it did. I’m sure there is a similar method if you looked at the wiring diagrams.

ca va 💯

Did you pick a hood spot to ground the wire?

@@KRTLyfe I used the same spot you used in the vid I think. Super frustrating 🤪

@@brianbaker2982 what year is your GX? I recently read something saying that on some of the later models the wire colors are different.

@@KRTLyfe it's an 06. Really appreciate your help with this.

@@brianbaker2982 Yours should be the same, from all that I remember reading before I filmed this.

Thanks for watching they are Rayban RB4312-CH 601-S/A1 .

LOL kinda!
