How can I disable the TPMS? (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

Re: How can I disable the TPMS? (Tire Pressure Monitoing System)
Easiest way to disable it is to remove the wire from pin 2 (red highlight) and put it in the empty place of pin 6 (blue highligh). This will completely disable it and you will no longer have the light illuminate on the instrument cluster. This will not affect the HomeLink in any way so you don't lose that functionality.
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.
********************* ATTENTION!!!!! *********************
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).

Time to write a book and get paid for all this info.
How about
'Crossfires for Dummies'
or
'What Chrysler didn't tell anyone about Crossfires
or did not know themselves'?
PS
This is going to be very useful when the batteries in the TPM sensors go flat and people do not want to bother with the cost of new ones.

Just toss a tire pressure gauge in the glovebox and check regularly. Oh and no more annoying light when it's cold!

Re: How can I disable the TPMS? (Tire Pressure Monitoing System)
I found this posting and did the fix to rid that dumb lamp for the tires pressure sensors. They are expensive and worthless as I check my tires often. Sure dont need that light to verify the condition of the car and tape does not stick well, thanks for thoes that have done the legwork. Woody
