Tire Pressure Sensor Bypass

Most new cars have those pesky tire pressure sensor monitors built into the tire. They can be a real pain with the dash lights constantly coming on letting you know that you tire pressure is low. This bypass is helpful for anyone with a bad spring in the sensor itself or with someone who changes their tires often. That way you don't have to constantly have to reset the sensors or risk breaking one of these expensive little gizmos. Especially with winter coming a lot of people are switching to snow tires. Luckily there is a cheap and innovative way to bypass this. The sensor alerts the car when the tire pressure is below a set PSI. So basically what we are going to do is make a portable pressurized container for the sensor located in a safe place within in the car.

You basicly need 3 parts

1). A 6" lengh of 4" pvc pipe

2). 2 endcaps for the pvc pipe

3). The TPMS senor synced to the cars computer.

Drill the appropriate size hole for the your tpms senor in one end of the PVC pipe endcap. clean the hole removing all burrs and pull the sensor through making sure it is a snug and airtight fit. Next glue the endcaps onto the end of the pvc pipe with pvc glue. making sure you have a secure airtight connection. Now all you have to do is inflate the pressure of the capsule to the recommended PSI. You have to keep the sensor in the car so it can keep in contact with the monitor. I put mine in the back of my trunk with my emergency supplies. Now I can drive around not having to have any annoying lights constantly popping up on my dash.
