I have a 2013 Fit manual shift and live in an area where we run snow tires for 4-5 months per year. I have a set of dedicated wheels and tires (14”) with snows but no TPMS sensors. I recently learned that the VSA cannot be disabled while the TPMS light is visible on the dash. I see that there may be a workaround to “trick” the ECU into thinking the sensors are delivering info and shuts the light off.
Does anyone have a suggestion to defeat the TPMS without hacking the ECU or compromising the electronics? Seems like a TPMS emulator is the way to go but am unsure if these devices actually work.

 

Or just buy the correct aftermarket TPMS and install them. I have them installed on my snow wheels and it works just fine. No need to do funny stuff to trick the dash into turning the light off. As they are NOT an expensive mod to do properly.

 

A TPMS emulator wouldn't work due to the system needing to see 4 sensor IDs and needs to see movement in order to "wake up" said sensors.

There is however a way to bypass the VSA system while not having TPMS sensors which is great for those that run a secondary set of wheels as winter/summer/track day sets. Linked below is the write up, try at your own risk.

That is a very interesting way to switch off VSA. I'd be interested in knowing if disabling the yaw sensor leads to the desired result in GK5 Fit/Jazz too.
