Without the spare, will I have an endless tire-pressure light

I took my spare off several times and the light never went off

and yes the light does work...I have had a flat before, and Ive seen the light go off when I let pressure out for the track

so yea...MY spare can be removed without getting a light...not sure why though:dontknow:

I think it takes and x amount of time/miles before it will trip the light and if you park the truck anywhere close to where your storing the spare it may reset it's self before it has a chance to trip.

So that linked DIY mod from Toyota Nation has a switch wired up I'm assuming? If not can I hook up a switch?

since i have gotten rims about a month ago i havent put my spare on my truck i just keep it in the garage. never once had the light come on. hope this helps

my light goes off when the spare is low....so im sure it will go off when not on :frown:

hopefully I can just Reset it with the spare gone and that will fix it.

Otherwise I'm hoping that the Local dealer can remove it. I know they can do a lot of stuff with their Toyota diagnostic stuff.

good luck on that OM....I personally hate the system, its a pain in the ass, more than helpful :frown: but since its there, Id like to keep it incorporated.....hell, Im gonna try the ground out mod when I get my shoes this week :biggrin:

Another option I have seen is people making a pressurized "tank" out of a small ABS pipe and put the pressure sensor in there. Same with using a small air filled tire from home depot or something. Then stashing the tire somewhere.. The air filled pipe can fit in the storage area under the back seat tho which is handy.

thats an idea a pressurized tank. well did the mod on my bros x and it worked. toyota nation never had a switch but if you wanted to you could use a toggle (on/0ff/on) so you can ground it when you take out the spare and flip it when you put it back in :top:
