Looking to switch out my all season tires w/OEM mag rims/TPMS sensors to a used set of winter tires mounted on Tacoma steel rims w/o TPMS. Not planning to install new TPMS to winter tire set and have not bought tire/rim set yet.
1. Will the TPMS lite in dash blink continuously when vehicle is operated ? I like to avoid putting a piece of tape over blinking lite as a remedial fix.
2. Is there a go around aka like 4th gen 4R where by jumping a couple of wires in the TPMS ECU behind glove box, the dash light is bypassed ? I did this procedure on my '05 4R and tossed all sensors out when their batteries died.
Past experiences and suggestions are welcome.
 
I have not run without sensors myself, but this is my understanding of what I have seen from others.

1. The TPMS light will blink for about a minute and then it will turn on solid.
2. I do not think anyone has found a work around other than putting a piece of tape over the light or running with the light on until it burns out. I would think it might be possible to find something like what you did on 4R but I do not know of anyone who has tracked something like this down yet.

Maybe someone else knows of something. I hope anther member will have additional information for you.
