TPMS Info for the daring.
Hi All,
Was just looking over the TPS threads for some of you that are experiencing issues.
Has anyone tried disconnecting the TPS ECU?

I was looking at the component location, I believe it is located on top of the center console (radio stack) below the center vents.
The connector is "J49" it is a 9 pin connector and should be at the very top of the assembly.
I believe the Tire Pressure Sensor ECU is here right above the P1 and J50 connectors. (Taken from the NAV hack thread).

The problem is going to be that it doesn't appear the connection to the TPS ecu (assuming that's what it is) is a quick disconnect. If it's not, then the only choice is getting out the wire cutters... no thanks

There's a connector on the other side (not visible in the above photo). Why would they hardwire it? If the TPS CPU ever failed, they'd have to replace the whole harness.
