TPMS question

[Epiphany]

Hey all, I've got a 2009 Genesis Sedan 3.8 w/tech package. I am starting to shop for winter wheels and tires for the car and have a question about the sensors. If I were to buy wheels and tires without the sensors (would be almost $200 cheaper), will there be any negative effects other than a light on the dashboard? Such as does it tie into the traction/stability control in any way? Because if it's just a light on the dash I'd be fine with that to save $200 when I'm already spending over $1000 on the wheels.

why not use the sensors you have and put them in the new wheels.

I will be buying a set of wheels for the winters rather than having to swap tires on and off the rim twice a year.

Yeah I hate the sensors and plan to live with the light, but have yet to try it. I'm thinking you'd only get the TPMS light.

Based on what I remember when I got a flat tire, I don't think you are going to like it without the sensors.

What is the reasoning for that? I don't care about a little light if it saves me a few hundred dollars and I've gone the last 5 years without sensors and never had any issues.

My recollection is that it was not a "little light." But perhaps if there are no sensors at all the warnings on the dash are not as severe as I experienced when I had a flat. Good luck.

I bought TPMS from these guys (Southeast Auto Parts, 801-664-2514) for $21.25 each.
They were P/N 584.SENS97 1N-TPMS: Stk# SEN; SR-5B R 000136452:52933-2F00, BOLT ON< NEW; W:150351.

Took them with new wheels and tire to Wal-Mart auto service.

Paid them $2.44 for TPMS service pack for each wheel (New nuts and stems) and $5.00 to mount each new tire on new wheel plus $8.00 for life time balance and rotation.

Done deal put new wheels on car, TMPS recognized immediately by computer.

Screaming good deal!

^ I will be getting some TPMS when I get some winter wheels for my wifes Optima. The entire center LCD display would be worthless if I didn't get the sensors, since the display would only flash the TPMS crap. I noticed even on the Genesis if you change the display, it will revert back to the TPMS warning until air has been added into the problem tire.

Unfortunately I don't have access to pricing like that. Even if I could get all the TPMS hardware for under $50 I'm still looking at $100 or so to get the tires mounted and balanced which is money I would rather not spend assuming the only downside is a little light on the dash.

I believe having no sensors will result only in TPMS light and not all the other lights and displays associated with a flat or low air. My wheels are backordered 2 months so we will see then.

 

[drewbie]

Sorry to ressurect this thread from the dead, but I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the LCD display when no TPMS are present.

I also am in a place where I have to get winter tires and want to have a separate set of rims.

Thanks

I don't know what whether they put it in the redesigned model, but for 2009 the Canadian cars did not get TPMS for some reason.

 

[PMCErnie]

It simple enough to see what happens. Just let some air out of one tire until the warning lights up the TPMS.

U.S. Federal Regulations require that all new cars (light vehicles) sold in the U.S. since September 2007 be equipped with a TPMS. There is no such regulation in Canada. In the case of the Genesis, the Canadian version is different than the US version, as determined by their respective marketing organizations (Hyundai Canada and Hyundai Motor America).

^If removed which in this case is illegal and unless it won't throw a code it may not pass state annual inspection (where applicable), right?

I have no idea what you state inspects. Mine only does emissions testing.

If you remove them it does nothing. Only the orange TPMS light stays lit. Has no other ill effects. I didnt bother replacing them when i swapped out my wheels. Honestly i dont like how the system in the genny works. Hell, my trailblazer you could cycle through each wheel and it would tell you the exact pressures. Tpms in its original purpose was for runflat tires. With those you cant tell if you had a blowout unless you had tpms. With a regular tire, if you have a blowout or catastrophic failure there really isnt anything tpms can do for you. Only way tpms helps with regular tires is if you had a nail in it and it caught a slow leak. But thats why you check your tires often. I know whenever i get in my car i look at all 4 out of habit

Helped me on a long trip when I picked up a nail while on the interstate highway. I was able to get off the highway to a safe place to change the tire before it went flat.
