Hi all:

In the past, I've asked about the TPMS on the '07 Camry. This is because I
wanted to put snow tires on a new set of wheels and didn't want to have to
get the dealer to reprogram the car twice a year, switching the sensors each
time. The local Toyota dealers seem to think that if you don't reprogram the
IDs of the new set of sensors, that the warning light will stay on all the
time. I didn't want to deal with new sensors so I decided to just get new
wheels without sensors and live with the light on all winter. (I figured a
piece of tape over the light would do the trick.)

ANYWAYS,,.... Not needed! I swapped the new sensor-less snow tires onto the
car and the warning light does not come on! Apparently, the car only reports
a problem if there are sensors in place and they detect a tire that is too
low - not also missing sensors.

Of course, I'll have to monitor the tire pressure myself, but I've been
doing that for over 30 years anyway.

Just figured to get this into the archives in case someone else wants to
know how this works.
