Re:Anyone figured out how to turn off the TPMS?

As far as I am aware it is not possible at the moment to re-programme the TPMS. 

The TPMS system is based on a system from Continental. It uses Continental Sensors and a Continental receiver. As far as I can tell this Sensor/Receiver system simply transmits the sensor data to the Suzuki Body Control Unit (BCU). The BCU then interprets the data compared to the LOAD and COMFORT settings in it and acts accordingly. In theory, in the BCU, is this table of values and it could be edited. Indeed we can see data tables in the BCU through using the Suzuki tool but these are lists of random numbers with no contect or reference to them and it appears possible to read them but not to write them although it is possible to update the BCU as a whole. No-one appears to have hacked it (yet!)

The only real method at the moment is to remove the tyre sensors and fit a TMPS faking unit. This feeds fake values to the Continental receiver and deceives the system

I and another member have tried the solution from IronGates. We both found this system difficult to get working although once you have fiddled around with it then it does work.

Overall , in normal operation, the sensor "learn" sequence seems unreliable. Both after a sensor change/move it can take a while to detect and automatically correct the system. Mine has sometimes instantly learnt new positions/parameters and other times it take a long time. With the SZ5 we once had it take a 90 minute journey to relearn everything and our commercial took 2 days of lots of trips.

The trick to remember is the timings.

1. The system clears itself after 20 minutes of being switched off, Suzuki recently said "better to wait two hours". So switch off, lock the car and walk away for 2 hours.

2. Once it has been cleared, go for a drive where during the FIRST TEN MINUTES you can achieve a steady speed of at least 20 mph, ie no junctions, no traffic lights, no roundabouts. 

Doing this seems to be the most effective way of relearning things, If you cannot maintain the speed for 10 minutes its best you start the 2 hour wait again.

They need to rotate AND rotate at DIFFERENT angular velocities to simulate the different positions on the axles so the receiver can calculate their different positions on the car

It does also raise the issue of insurance companies using a tpms delete or defeat to withhold cover on the basis of the system being a legally required one if a loss adjuster feels it was a contributing factor in a collision. If there is an excuse they will exploit it.
