Im told that you can turn off the TPS system with a Tech II. Mine all function but thought I wuold pass this info on.

My 99 reads zero on all the tires when you hit gauges. But there are no error messages on the DIC. What does that mean? I'd be happy to do without them but error messages would bug me. Does the TPMS message pop up right away or do you have to drive the car?

If your the original owner, good question about no dic messages.

If you purchased used, a previous owner could have had them programed out.
