ok i did some reading through the 8th gen service manual, the accelerometer in the sensors is just so they send a pressure update when the vehicle speed passes 28mph, but they also send a pressure update when the tpms control box first turns on and says "where my tires at"

i hadnt heard that, my understanding was that they worked sorta like a rfid system, and their movement had nothing to do with how they work

heres a link to a yaris site that did the pvc thing, http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33493 i also read about it on a mustang site where they just tossed the 4 sensors in the tube and closed it up with a valve stem in the cap

On several occasions i have used the accessory kit as the base wiring harness and added lights or completely changed the lights out from it. Its a fused switched independent harness that puts out 12v to work with and comes with a oem switch to control it all too

I have a 06 so no tpms sensors for me, but i remember reading the last one somewhere as a suggestion for dealing with them. Switching the tpms sensors yourself would be challenging since you have to dismount the tire from the wheel to get at them nevermind webby beat me to it

you could also take the tpms sensors out of the wheels, throw them in a piece of pvc pipe, epoxy endcaps on both ends and put a valve stem in it. Pump the tube up to 32 psi and throw it in your trunk, never have to worry about tpms lights again

a less glamorous solution could be to only use the tpms in your summer wheels and put up with the lights the other half of the year. It may also be possible to pull a fuse or two that control the tpms system to clear the lights.

i made the mistake of getting BJs gas once, i dont know if it was just a bad tank or what, i was down to 15mpg highway and the car sounded bad

I used to be able to find a station that had ethanol free regular, the car might be designed to handle up to 10% but it runs so much better on ethanol free, highway economy was up to 47mpg without trying. When i couldnt get ethanol free regular the car went down to at best 42mpg on the same drive

unfortunately not all drivers maintain insurance on their cars after their inspections and whatnot. Several years ago my mom was in an accident with an uninsured driver, their policy had been lapsed for 6 months because the person responsible just decided to stop paying, there is no line of...
