    Hello,
    I am hoping someone knows how to turn off the flashing icon on the dash. I know there are 1 or more sensors that are bad, but I’ll just look at the tires to tell.

    Thank you in advance!

    You can probably pull the bulb from the back of the instrument panel if it bothers you and you don’t want to fix the sensor.

    Cheapest and easy fix Small piece of black electrical tape covering the light. That has worked for me for two years now. Might consider replacing the tpms next new tires if price is right..

    Small piece of advice: Go with OEM, not "compatible" or you'll probably be playing whack-a-mole for the rest of your ownership. Buy 4 (or 5, for full size spare) at next tire change, then have them install and program to the TPM ECU.

    !00 % correct. I learned my lesson years ago when I bought 4 on Ebay for ~ $100.00. Took them to install while getting 4 new tires. Never was able to get them programmed to work. Total waste on money.

    Thank you to FrenchToasty, my mod is complete. No more flashing TPMS light!

    I have included some pictures to help point people to the module and correct wire.

    Thank you!!!
