Default Tire light

Does any one know if there is anything to turn off the tire warning light, I want it gone for good, is it just a bulb in the cluster? Is there a tuner I can buy to shut it off, some one out there must have a fix for this, please help me loose this stupid tire light these sensors are to expensive and a pain in the ass

The AEV ProCal and Superchips Flashpaq will both disable that light. As well as a lot of other cool things.

Or just stick a piece of black tape over it.

just curious but why do you not want your stocker tires inflated? im pretty sure the sensor is in the filler stem, so if you get new ones it will do one of 2 things completely shut the warning off or keep it on all the time....

A programmer is designed to shut it off so you can lower your tire pressure when off roading. it will keep it off as long as you have it programmed to do so. I use the Superchips Flashpaq, it has other benifites that are worth the money. octane tunes, idle settings for winching, tow tune, tire size speedo adjustment and shift point adjustments. I used the idle up the other day when I was jumping another car off.

Ok cool the rims I have make the tire valve stem stick out almost as far as the sidewall on my tire and I keep getting flats on the trails, lots of roots and branches around here and the rubber ones will move a bit so I won't have the same problem, does the super chips flashpaq void my warrenty???

I do want them inflated just with normal rubber valve stem and not sensors, the sensors keep getting busted off by branches

Any and every mod that was not on your JK when it left the factory has the chance of voiding 'parts' of your warranty. If you are worried about it, talk to your dealership and ask their opinion. Some dealers have no problem with the ProCal, since it is a programmer and not a tuner. Some are ok with the Flashpaq.
Most people don't bother asking and just return to stock before they go in for service. The dealership can see that something has changed, but you may be able to explain it with a "I had my battery disconnected" for whatever you were doing. That is if they check, and if they ask.
