Default Re: How can I disable the TPMS? (Tire Pressure Monitoing System)

The highlight colors are NOT the wire colors. They are only there to highlight where the pin is from the factory and where its to go to disable the TPMS. The ONLY wire being changed is the grey wire with the yellow stripe (20GY/YL).




To get at the TPMS/HomeLink connector, just remove the dome light and you can see the wires going into it. Remove the connector, use a pick or other fine tipped tool and depress the top of pin 2 so it will slide out. Push the pin back into the connector in the 6th position and reinstall the connector. Reinstall the dome light and you are finished.

Hello Rudy:

I would like to ask you regarding the TPM. I am trying todisable it, I took the doom light out and I saw the white connector. I removedthe connector and found out that it has only 5 fine wires with different colors,there is no 6th slot. I remember you said that the connector has 6slots. Am I looking at the right connector? I could not find another connectorsimilar to it, the only thing there, is a black box which is the garage dooropener. My XF is 04 and it may have different connector than the other models.Do you have any thoughts if I am looking at the right one? If so, shall Idisconnect the second wire colored grey with yellow stripe? Thank you for yourhelp.
