[jay2kony]

I just recently put in my aftermarket rims with no TPMS in it and its been almost 3 weeks and the light doesnt come on should i be worried or glad it aint on?

Did your tire/rim installer disable/disconnect the TPMS? Did you ask?

Are you parking close to your stock wheels at night?

i put them on myself at home so no i couldnt have disabled my tpms .
^ Lmfao that might be it billiam cause i do park my car in the garage with my stock 17's on the side

Then that's what's causing it. The car still thinks your stock wheels/tires are on. Drive long enough though and I promise the light will come on at some point....only to reset each time you park in the garage.

I don't have it and I don't want it, actually the dealer told me he was sorry it was optional on my car and not installed. I was like oh what a same.

I understand if he parks close to wheels it will reset, but each time the car is restarted it should check for them no? So when not at home the light should come on? Just curious I do not know.

lol makes sense billiams very good logic. but what about the days i dont park in my garage and like 40 feet away from my stock wheels

Lol judge he's joking. i wish i really didnt have that option just one set of tpms can cost up to 400-500 bucks and then reprogramming it is more of a pain. just i dont really know why my light doesn't come on at all with this aftermarket set with no tpms in it

[Billiam]

Not sure....it still may be close enough to read them. I know my light would reset after parking near my stock wheels and they were at least 12-15 feet away. I still say that if you drove around for an hour or so it would trigger.

BTW, prices for OEM sensors have come way down. I picked up a second set for my alloy wheels this past spring for $50 shipped. My local Tire Discounters installed them for me for about $40 and programmed them for free. I have less then $100 bucks total tied up in them.

So I have 2 sets....one for my "winter" wheels and alloys.

Your lucky. I had to open up my instrument cluster and actually desolder the tpms led.
