How To Bypass The TPMS System On 2003-2009 Toyota 4runners | 2 MINUTE TUESDAY

Tire pressure monitoring systems can be pretty annoying when they aren't working properly. On the 4th Gen Toyota 4runner, it's easier to just disable the entire system.
Simply jumping the pink/black and the white/black wire in the harness going to the module will shut it off so you can go back to living a normal life.
No lights in the dash, no beeping or buzzing. I don't even have sensors in my wheels and tires and the truck has no idea.

I ordered 5 TPMS's (including the one for the spare) from AMZ for about $45 and had them installed in Costco Tire Center for $70. They have been working well on my 05 SR5 for 6 years as of today. Will try this trick next time when needed. Great video

Dude, you so totally rock! THANK YOU for this amazingly simple fix that now saves me from having to keep replacing these stupid sensors on my 2004 SR5 V8 T4R at $90 a pop.

Thank you for posting this. I have a 2004 that needed a new TPMS in the spare and two rear tires. I was quoted $300 to replace all five sensors. The splice connector on the two wires worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing

@mj23bama 3 года назад

I wanted to personally thanks you. Took all of less than -0 minutes. The hardest part was taking some of the tape off the wire. Very easy to do. Dealership gave me an estimate of 430. Cost me zero. I had everything in and electrical tool box. Thanks again

@Liberty4Ever 2 года назад

Huge thanks. I just bought a 2005 4Runner and of course, the TPMS light is on. I'm not inclined to install new TPMS sensors with every tire change, which would be the only way to have a fairly reliable system. I'll keep good tires on it, look at them to see that one isn't obviously low, and check the pressures a couple of times a year. I'll probably wire a small switch in there and label it TPMS - ENABLE/DISABLE.

@S1KRR_Rider88 Год назад

Doing this today, I got some limited rims from a 5th gen, I don’t do much off road driving and until I can get a lift I like how they look, Especially handles nice in the city and highway. But yesterday I went on a long drive and the light was blinking. Now I’m back home parked by my stock wheels and the light is off. I’m going to assume it will come on again when I go for any period of time so, I’m just gonna do this today and not have a light come on and make my heart sink cause I thought it was a check engine light at first haha 😂

@RealTRKLogic 4 года назад

hey buddy I have a question, I wasnt sure where else to go honestly, like someone that would know for sure, on my 08' 4runner, 135k, yesterday my stock exhaust heat shield fell off, the one literally right above the exhaust, where the back seats are, not the manifold heat shield and I was wondering what I should do. re-bolt the old one or what would I use new?? There is a line of some sort also heat wrapped under there, I just want to make sure my exhaust doesn't overheat anything, you know?

@CanadianGearhead 4 года назад

If you can figure out a way to remount it, that's probably your best bet. I'm not sure if the heat shields make that drastic of a difference - I've had them fall off other vehicles before and I just left em. You might be able to order a new one from a parts store if you have to

@tinhhanh614 2 года назад

I did exactly the same, double and triple check the wires but didn’t work. :(

@Dino-sx9ct 2 года назад

If you connect those two wires temporarily will it reset the tpms? I really would like to keep my TPMS working so I'm wondering if I can just wire a momentary switch.

@EnigmaEngineering Год назад

No. If you wire in a toggle switch (single pole single throw), when the switch is closed (on), the TPMS system will be off. When you switch it open (off), the TPMS will be on. You can route the switch up into the glovebox. You can toggle it when the car is running and it still works - but a momentary switch would do nothing here

@zippy0n942 4 года назад

Even if the TPMS is still installed in each tire it’s still ok to do this? Plus what exactly does jumping mean? Just connecting the wires together?

Aren’t they both already connected? Sorry to sound like a dummy. Do you cut them and reconnect them? Is it going 2 in 1?

In this case you use a connector to join 2 of the wires to each other while everything remains connected. It might be a good idea to have someone with some automotive experience give you a hand.

@ryancampagna7792 Год назад

@@CanadianGearhead I am quite sure. I thought maybe it didn't get through the insulation so I shaved back a little bit and put the splice back on, no go. You leave the plastic connector disconnected after splicing, or do you plug it back in? I tried both ways. Another video suggested a jumper on plug and leaving it undone but I haven't tried that yet
