Can you disconnect or modify the TPMS system, so that you don't get the annoying 0 pressure warning and the traction control can be disengaged?

Just don't want to pay $1,500 - $2,000 to get the new sensors, mount them and get them registered to the system.

 

My understanding is the TPMS unit needed to be unplugged / bypassed before it sends the fault due to sensor failure. There is a thread from a few years back on how to do this... with photos. If you are already seeing the fault I believe the dealer needs to clear it.

Your welcome.

 

Traction Control has nothing to do with the Smartire system.(?) 2007 MY you just unplug the module=no fault messages or warning lights involved. 2008 MY up you need some wiring skills.

 

2006 - we pulled the whole module and put it in the parts bin. We were able to follow the sensor wires back to the main harness and disconnect there so there are no wires tied back.

My 07 db9 traction control will not disengage with the Smarttyre disconnected.

 

I just did the Redpants.lol TPMS delete. Worked great after I realized how to set it up properly. I check tire pressures manually as is...don't need the computer and dash lights.

 

+1 for the Redpants tpms solution. I installed it on my Vantage when I put the BC Forged wheels on. Very easy install and works perfectly.

 

Do you know how to disable the traction control on your 2007 DB9? As I stated above it doesn't share or have anything related to the TPMS. Smartire is a stand alone system. So you must have something else at fault or your not holding the button long enough.

 

this worked for me ..on my 07 v8v i just unplugged the unit .
"no more warning on dash"

 

Are you sure, because once I unplugged my TPMS, the traction control button stopped working. But I could have blown a fuse, I will check tonight.

 

Randy,
On my 05 DB9 the TPMS module is in the trunk staring at you when you open it. Hell I sold the wheels with the sensors still in them to a forum member. The box has never made a sound or light. I am not even sure the module has anything on the dash as far as lights go.

But, The Vantage TPMS is I think totally different than the early DB9 ones. But as stated above, this shouldn't have anything to do with the Traction Control.

 

Yes, I'm sure......... Smartire system is the same on all vehicles. Gen1 (2005-2007) all models. Gen 2 (2008-2010) all models including Rapide then you have the V12 Vantage (pre S model) has Smartire also. And again it is a stand alone system that just reports a warning light/message in the IC. Gen 1 system you can defeat by unplugging module.

 

It was a fuse

 

Does anyone have any a perspective on defeating the TPMS system on a post-2010 Rapide? It' implied (although i've not seen definitive answers) that the 2011-onward Aston's would NOT be able to use the defeat cable system provided by Redpants. My TPMS light just went on...it's reading all pressures at all 4 corners but the yellow warning light is an unwelcomed guest on my instrument cluster!
