Tire Air Pressure

The light sensor is on, I have aftermarket rims, which obviously the tires are not the same as factory, could I still fix that problem?? all tires are ok with air pressure

if the TPMS were not moved to the new rims your only option is black tape over the light.

It just so happens that there is a STICKY THREAD in the Tire & Wheel section that answers your questions.

The sensors just unscrew and bolt back up to ur aftermarket rims without switching them over the light will be on becasue the computer is not picking up anything from them so now u need to break the tires down(at lease take off bead) and take out valve stem in there now and bolt up the sensors but be sure to use an inch/lb torque wrench I think it's like 5 or so inch/lbs you DO NOT want to break one or u will pay out the a#* for a new one...if you don't trust it take it to a garage that is familiar with tpms and they will b able to do it easily(oh and breaking off the bead is no a simple task without proper equiptment but is possible)
