Disable Tire Pressure Sensors?

Wow very cool! So you basically dropped some solder to jumper the two posts and that did the trick? Nice.
Hey everyone. I decided to solder the posts in the TPMS box itself to avoid cutting/splicing wires. I had some help from Mud members and used burtoncr's advice to find the Blue and Red/Green wires, then soldered their corresponding posts. Worked like a charm. I'll note that my 2008 had a different TPMS module than what I have seen folks post for the 2007 and 2003-2006, but the Blue and Red/Green wires are still the correct wires.
Here's the end result. the board slides right out after you pop the plastic top on the TPMS box. Super easy. It took me 15-20 minutes total and I have never done anything like this in the past, so it's easy for a complete noob.

Yep, I took a strand of wire from a Cat-5 cable, wrapped it around the two posts a few times, twisted it tight, and then dropped some solder on it to reinforce the connection. Plugged everything back in. Easy peasy, reversable, and no wire cutting.

So finally had some time yesterday to attempt this mod for the 07+ GX. Worked just as described. Thank you, burtoncr!
Just a note to help clarify things for others:
1. My 07 has the blue TPM box
2. Disconnect harness from blue box then cut the BLUE wire.
3. Strip some insulation away from the GREEN/RED wire and tap it to the BLUE wire going to the dash. (Note: make sure you don't tap the green/black wire right next to it)
4. Reconnect wire harness to Blue TPM box
5. Done!

Followed the directions from #76 on my 07 GX but the light is still on. Not sure where I went wrong

Amazing for such a basic bit of technology, that Toy/Lex don't standardized and code at the module. A universal TPMS by year/edition should be sought. It's like making a different cigarette lighter with some quirky nuance by each model. [slaps forehead]
