Help- All of sudden I am getting a TP dash indicator00 I don't even have TPS on the car--any clues- to shut it off?

 

Thought TPMS was STANDARD on all US spec RX-8s.
If you did not have TPMS you would not have a working TPMS light. I would go out and check the air in your tires.

 

Actually i had the same problem. My light was comming so i checked my lights and 1 tire was at 29 psi instead of 30psi. So i put more air in that one but it did the same thing a week later with even psi. I took it to my dealer and they did something to the computer and drive it for a minute to see if it came back on. it didn't so i guess they fixed the problem. Or atleast the light didn't come on anymore. I havn't checked my tires recently. Maybe they just turned the whole thing off.

 

this happened once before- common element- appears to be rain- I checked TP digitally all at 30 psi- I'd just like to turn the whole thing off- at this point

 

all us cars have the tpms. check you tires cold then bring them all to 32psi.

 

Ok- you all where correct - I do have them- thanks- I just heard from dealer- he said my lap-top- which I run periodically from car is setting off the sensors- (not sure I'm buying this) I asked why is this only happening when it rains- He said not sure- How many have disconnected this little gem?

 

That is a good one!! Lap-top sets off TPMS :D

As for turning off the TPMS, you can't.

 

With all of the smart folks on this forum there has to be a simple way to make this "pain in the a-- light" go-away/ disconnected- other then the seemingly complicated procedure one member-has already published- There is more and more posts relative to this issue, makes you wonder if the TPS might be showing signs-(maybe age/milage etc.) that this little feature is not the most robust instrument on the car.

 

yes they are susceptible to interference(its in the manual) from some electronics. check with MazdaManiac. he found the wire to clip to shut it off.

Of the three pages in the above "DIY" MazdaManiac ( thread starter) is the only "success" story.

 

I'm going with a little snip to that wire!!
