Wheelboy Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I did some checking around here and I didn't see the answer to my question. What happens if TPS are not used on winter wheels for an IS250? Is it just a dashboard light that is the inconvenience or is it a warning noise too? On my Vette a boinger keeps going off with low tire pressure warning but that might not be the case with Lexus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean "TPMS". TPS is the acronym for the "Throttle Position Sensor". Cover the dashboard light with a piece of electrical tape if it bothers you -- I don't think any Lexus model with TPMS sounds an alarm.

steviej Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I concur. Just the icon will illuminate, no audible alarm. black electrical tape will work. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea & thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reyoasian Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I get the TPM warning light on the dash, as well as a message on the display for gas-consumption on the dash. No noise though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
