i am having winter tires put on a set of rims i got off of kijjiji
not buying sensors
have a 2012 ram 1500 st
my question is what will the computor do is it just a light that comes on or a chime to tell me that i have low pressure or if it is a light will it flash

thanks greg

 

on my 2011 i have what i think is a broken TPMS front right, and the on board computer tells me that every time i start the car, theres a beep and then the picture of all 4 tires comes up and theres 0pressure in front right and also its blinking

 

The tpms in the dash will blink a few times, then stay lit.
I change out my tires and wheels for winter (which dont have sensors)
I put a piece of electrical tape over the tpms warning light to cover the annoying light.
Also, the EVIC will display a tpms problem, just re-set it... good to go.

 

my programmer turned out the light

 

Not everybody has or wants a programmer just to eliminate the TPMS warning light in the dash. Sometimes, less is more, $350 vs a piece of electrical tape works for me...lol. Come spring time, my 20`s are back on the truck and the TPMS light is back to working normal.

 

thanks all got lots of tape

 

Greg,

I believe the 2012 Rams will go into winter mode if all 4 of the TPM's are removed from the vehicle. When the vehicle is in winter mode no sensors or warning messages will appear on the dash.

 

Yep. I bought a set of rims off Craigs and the guy said it had monitors on the rims. When I got there...No TPMS sensors. I bought the rims anyway as they were brand new take offs and slapped a set of Silent Armours on them. When I put them on the truck I also added a very technologically advanced TPMS warning light obstruction device to my dash. Worked fine all winter. I always look at my tires before I drive my truck anyway...Remember the days before sensors? For anything?

 

yup remember those days made me smile
and thanks katie

 

still look at the tires to check if the look right
