Default Wheels with no TPS's ?

What happens if you put a set of wheels on that have regular valve stems and no TPS?

Will the car just keep throwing the Service TPS code ?

Yes ... it keeps throwing messages to SERVICE TPMS

Why .... if you are putting on new wheels just move the sensors to the new wheels. If this is a second set of wheels .... you can buy more sensors and reprogram the car each time you swap wheels (takes about 1 minute to reprogram).

Or, yeah, put on wheels with no sensors .... the car will complain every time you drive it. That's all .....

Ya, it was gonna be a 2nd set. Guess I will just go ahead and get sensors with the new wheels.
