Needless to say, the night AFTER we traded my wife's car in, I tried to pull the fuse for the tpms and the light stays on! I don't know if I'll get failed during an inspection for that light, but aside from having the stealership install new sensors, is there a way to outsmart the system? Can I actually remove the entire system?
i dont believe anyone has done that yet. to my knowledge its built into the ecu so you wont be able to get rid of it

as for passing inspection? probably not. its mandatory on 08+ models so its likely mandatory to pass inspection
