This has nothing to do with the prank.

Thank you, I did this on my 2004 Toyota 4 runner & the light went out. At tire shop today salesman said it would be around $90 a wheel to replace & fix the TPMS . That’s $360 for all. I’m so happy to not ever have to deal with sensors again. Merry Christmas this is a big deal to me. Again thank you 🙏😊🎄

Tobias, Thank you SO much for this step by step video repair to permanently turn off the blinking tire pressure indicator light on my 2005 Toyota 4Runner... My biggest challenge was finding the correct "open" wire "tap" to link the two wires. Found on Amazon with this description: "3M Scotchlok Electrical IDC 560B-BOX, Double Run or Tap, Flame Retardant, Blue, 18-16 AWG (solid/stranded), 14 AWG stranded)"... Perfect repair! With my sincere appreciation.

Good clear explanation and it worked. Thanks. Since I bought the wrong connector, I just stripped the wires, twisted them together, and taped them.

Thank you!🙏🏼 The dealer said 4 out the 5 sensors are bad in my 2007 4Runner. Would have cost me over $1,000 for the repairs at the dealer. This video saved me lots of $$$$.

I ordered new tires, and own my own tire machines. I also have a TPMS computer. It's just an unnecessary expense, and this simple trick just saved me money. Here's a comment and like.. gotta give credit where credit is due. Thanks!

This method also worked on my 2009 Lexus GX 470. The other method of splicing and grounding the blue w/grey or 3rd pin wire didn't work for me as it did for many other 2003-2009 GX 470 owners. Thanks for sharing your video!

Nice clear explanation! Also good camera work and lighting! Hard sometimes for viewer to actually see what is being done. Wish the newer vehicles were as easy to disable. Thanks again.

Also works on a 2004 Toyota 4 Runner. Just make sure and press the wire tap or crimp hard. I had to press it with a pair of pliers to make the connection. Thank you for a great video. That light flashing, especially at night was irritating. I check my tire pressure so much I don’t need TPMS

Yeah, definitely important to make sure the wires are completely crimped in whatever kind of connector you use. Cool, glad it worked out for you. Definitely a feature that's not necessary and can have annoying issues, especially for people that want to use aftermarket wheels and don't want to install sensors.

You da real mvp. Didn’t work til I got the pliers involved

Thanks for the tip. I just ended up taking the module out, removed the PCB and jumpered/soldered the connections together directly on the board with thin enameled wire. Put it all back together and it works and looks unmodified!

Thank you, there is not a single person out there that explains this so well.

2006 4Runner with this flashing light for last 18 months. I used a small piece of wire inserted into the front of the white connector to shout out the white/black and pink/black wires. Thanks, no longer an annoying flashing light.

Going to do this today. At one point we took our 4runner back again and again after new tires until we discovered it was the spare tire that was setting off the tpms light. Now it just stays on all the time and all the tires (and spare) are at inflated specs. Ordered the "plastice jumper clips" (see another's comment for what to order from amazon) and am now ready to do this today. I'll watch the video and begin the process and I'm sure I'll come back inside and watch it and pause as I go along. Will be so nice not to see that light off when I know the tires are all inflated. Thank You and good luck to anyone else with this problem.

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.

Thank you so much for this video, it worked perfectly in my 4Runner. I have been annoyed for so many years with that light flashing and now FINALLY I can have peace while driving lol. Thanks!!

Great video! Works on my wife 04 4runner with 140k+ miles. Thanks a lot👍🏽

Just did this on my '04 4runner and it worked perfectly. Thanks! I guess you could also wire in a switch to turn on/off as needed, but I don't really care much about the TPMS system so off it goes for good.

The step by step was easy to follow and it worked 100% without any issues. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with others!

Man thank you for posting this. This has been flashing on my 04 4runner and it’s been bugging the s*** out of me. Just jumped it with a paper clip and wrapped the harness connector with some electrical tape.

Hell yeah I’m gonna go unhook mine now I know we’re this thing is at I put a lift kit and new carpet in it had my seats took apart and cleaned and I didn’t put those stupid things back in I. Glad you showed this it will make my 4Runner so much better ! Thanks a bunch !

For my 08 I found online the colors to splice are pink/black and black/maroon. I had to use a red tap splice to get a good connection. Works great!

Thanks. Worked like a charm on my 05. Had a leased 04 4runner I had to turn in years back. I hit a curb, bent the rim. Had rim replaced and the tire guy never put the TPS back. So the light was always on. I took the dash apart and pulled light. Did the trick, but it was a pain in the ass to disassemble the dash. Wish I knew about this fix back then.

How did you find the 2 correct wires to tap together? I know you say thw colors but in any other vehicle what should I look for?

@Tobias Collins : Is this easily reversible as well? Can I just remove the jumper clamp later and return the light to normal blinking and then change the sensors? Also, where do you find those clamps?

Thank you!!

This worked. But I only have the Denso plastic module under there. Not whatever that other module is -the white one in the vid. Anyone know what it is? And I just got a small gauge wire and fed it into the two openings.

YOu said you were going to "reconnect everything" but did not show that step. Did you pkug the shorted connector into the TMPS device? I saw another video in which the author jumped teh two wires by placing a jumper into the two pins, taping over teh jumper and leaving it loose - did npot reinsert it into teh TPMS device. BTW those are IDC or Insulation Displacement connectors - they do NOT pierce the wires. Rather, they split the insulation allowing the wire to be pressed into the narrow opening/slit(s) in that little bit of metal in the connector.

Thank you. 2007 4Runner.

Didn’t work for me!! Any help? Did exactly what you did with the same connections

Thank you!!!!

Not clear enough at the jumper portion. Black is not coming into to blue clamp? Thank you.
