My new rims dont have TPMS. What do I need to do to have the TPMS programmed out so i dont have to hit reset all the time?

Thanks!

 

Gonna be difficult on a 98. On 2001's and newer it's doable with a Tech II.

Can you just install sensors into your wheels? There are a number of ways to do this if you want to preserve the TPMS capability.

Good luck... GUSTO

 

i probably could, but I dont want the sensors. I was hoping it would be easy to do. or for the dealer to do.

 

looks like the reset button will get a nice workout then. stupid car. lol

 

I guess I’ll never understand why people don’t want pressure sensors. I can see not having the cash for them but, just not wanting them.

 

because I didnt want to spend another 100 dollars to have them take off the tires from my other set of rims and i also didnt have want to spend money on more jack stands so I can have all 4 tires off the ground.

This is the first car I've had tpms. I've survived this long. Really not a big deal.

 

If nothing else, you can install TPMS with bands.

 

Better get used to them-all cars have them now. Put them on and get over it.

 

nope. you cant make me.

 

Ryan, I hear you...

But I have to tell you, I too was a skeptic a few years back when the government first decided we needed these because people just weren't capable of monitoring their tire pressures and as a result were blowing out tires and flipping their cars. I resented the intrusion on my liberty as well as the added cost (at that time estimated to add ~$800 to the cost of the vehicle) that they were simply passing on to us. Now, after personal experience with them I wouldn't want to be without them.

I used to pride myself on my ability to simply look at my tires and know that the air was down as little as 3 or 4 pounds. Then along came low profile, stiff sidewall tires and I swear every time I look at them they look low. Needless to say I spent a lot of time checking tire pressures only to find that the pressures are right on. Even worse was that I could no longer count on being able to detect when a tire was low simply by looking at it.

Shortly after buying my 2000 hardtop I changed to the ZO-6 wheels and tires but added the TPS to keep the warning system operational. Within a month I pulled out of my drive after giving my tires a quick "glance" and thinking they looked just fine. A few moments later the tire warning chimed and I looked down to see the DIC telling me that my left rear tire pressure was low and indicating 17 psi. My first thought was that can't be, they looked fine and they felt fine, it must be a bad sensor. Never-the-less I quickly turned around and returned home to verify the pressures were okay. Sure enough, the right rear was at 17 psi and after close inspection I found a nail in the tire. I have no doubt that had I not had the sensors, I would have very likely lost a tire that day and perhaps found myself sitting on the side of the road waiting for AAA.

The really good news is that you can now purchase a complete TPMS system for around $200 and add it to your vintage '63 Beetle and never worry about the little lady ruining one of your tires because she didn't notice it was sitting on the rim after a day of shopping and decided to drive it home and let you check it out. I even purchased a system for my car hauler and no longer worry that I won't notice one of the tires has lost it's air until it destroys itself or blows out the other tire that's now trying to carry twice the load.

Good luck and be safe... GUSTO

 

change out the tpms reciever with one from a c5z06.the reciever is in the back drivers side under the plastic.you will also have to get the newer fob to work with it but you won't have the tpms stuff on the display anymore.

 

It would be cheaper to put his monitors back in.

 

Don't have to-the aggravation will.

 

maybe,until the batteries go dead.find a z06 parting out.should be able to pick it up for about $50.corvette recycling gets about $60 for them when they have them.
switch the reciever out once and never have to worry about tpm sensors again.especially if you have different wheels/tires for track use.

 

OK, now you got me curious where is the display?
And wouldn't you still need to install the newer TPS's on each wheel?

 

i didnt think a Z06 had tpms so why would it have a tpms receiver?

 

Reset button for me =)

 

i like the cut of your jib

 

the z06 reciever is basicly the same as the 01-04 reciever except the tpms has been turned off by the facrtory.like 8vette7 said,the reciever also controls the key fob.once the tpms is turned off you no longer have the information sent the dic.
if you buy a used on try to get the fobs with it.you can buy one from a regular 01+ c5 but if it's not from a z06 you will have to pay someone to turn off the tpms for you.

 

For the purpose of achieving deletion of tpms, will a 2001-04 Z06 RFA be compatible in a 2000 c5 vert?
