One question I would have for anyone who has disabled the TPMS is what do you do if you sell the car? Do you disclose it verbally or in writing to the buyer? Pay several hundred $ to have new sensors installed and relearned? Just reconnect the malfunctioning system so that the MIL is illuminated? Do nothing?

The last one could potentially open the seller up to some serious liability in the event of an incident where the TPMS sensor may have provided warning, but is determined to have been disabled. Do state inspections check for a properly functioning TPMS system? Just curious.
If I were looking at two cars, one with working TPMS knowing the owner maintained them or a car where the light was disabled all else equal I would go with the working system car. The nonworking TPMS car would need to be WAY better priced not to repair the TPMS but as a reflection of potential other lack of maintenance.
