BT, according to another post on the subject there is no way to disable the system. You may have to get another set of sensors for the new rims to keep the vehicle from indicating an error.

To relearn the sensor locations, the dealership can use the up/down pressure method or more readily do it with a SPX/Kent-More J-46079 TPMS reset tool uploaded with the latest K-M software v.3.3.

More details than you can ever have wanted can be found by searching this Forum for J-46079...

I don't need a dealer to reprogram. If they don't automatically do it with a rotation then I will just do it myself. I won't even have them do the rotation either unless it corresponds with an inspection. It takes less than 5 minutes.


At least it better... thats how long the truck gives you before it goes out of relearn mode.

Don't worry, the whole process only takes a minute and is very easy. Don't forget to put air back in after your finished.

I was going to remark on how much air I had to let out for the vehicle to learn on some tires.
Be ADVISED you need to be near air when you do this.

I had to let air out for a long time on a few and the resulting pressure was too darn low to have to travel very far. It was 20 degrees so the pressures were a little low anyhow but still... be prepared.

I didn't do the air up method because I was worried it might take too long and the pressure would go too high. Plus I have to pump quarters in to get air so my was was cheaper too.
