Easy Fix For TPMS Light

TPMS aka the Tire Pressure Monitoring System can go off when you change your wheels and tires to something aftermarket. They’re set for factory psi, so changing to wheels without them (or to a different size that uses a different pressure) can make them go off. This doesn’t do anything bad, but it can be a bit annoying to see the light flash on the dashboard.

How To Make a TPMS Pipe Bomb

1. Purchase 1x valve stem with the rubber grommets from your local auto store. You also need to stop by the hardware store and pic up 1 12” section (i cut mine down to about 9”) of 3” pvc pipe. Also, purchase 2x 3” end caps for that pipe. While there, pick up some pvc cement.

2. Cut the tube to your desired size and glue one of the end caps on. Put the pvc all the way around the end cap to make sure a nice seal.

1. Wrap each of your tpms sensors in poly fill to keep them from bouncing around in there. I used an old pillow for the poly fill.

1. put all your tpms sensors in and stuff more poly fill in the pipe to again prevent them bouncing around.

1. Drill out a hole on one of the end caps (i used 5/8” bit) the same size as your valve stem rubber grommet. You don’t want this hole too big because it will leak. Screw the valve stem together.

1. Now put pvc cement around that end cap and put it on. Give it a couple of minutes to dry and then air that puppy up to 35lbs. Check for leaks. Boom you are done.

If you want to go the extra mile get some pic paint of your choice and spray that puppy.
