hi just wondering what do I need to get the TPMS working on my Evo x MR, the Aus Spec cars didnt come with them from factory... is it just a matter of buying the sensors and fitting them to the wheels the activating them at dealer or do I need other components to get it going?

 

I wasn't aware that the AUS spec cars didn't come with them... that's odd.

Does your HUD display that you have a TPMS/low tire pressure error? If it does just add the sensors and have the dealer program them. If it doesn't then you may be screwed. Also if they can figure out a way to turn the TPMS sensors on/off I'd like to know.

 

thats weird that your car doesnt come with the sensor already... If anything I guess buy the sensors and get it installed. I just leave my sensor light on its whatever now haha

 

No sensor light in display it must be disabled or we didnt get the nessacary bits to make it avaliable in aus... strange.. Ill ring the dealer and ask them... i hope its just a matter of installing sensors and programming

 

hmm....if aussies didn't get tpms sensors i wonder if tephra could do something so us can turn out warning lights off.....

 

you are lucky man , why anyone would install the TPMS?

 

if they have a vagina?

 

I was simply asking a question thanks for just taking the ****

 

nope you take it it wrong , Actually you shred a light for us. So there is a solution to not having a TPMS warning light for us... At least i think should be....

 

If you're car doesn't have TPMS sensors, its likely it doesn't have the receiver for as well. Therefore, putting the sensors in your tires may not be enough. Best bet is just to run to the local stealership and talk with one of their mechanics.

 

No worries at all... Its strange they make different options avaliable to different regions

 

yea, laws are different in different areas, like in the us its a federal law that we need tpms for some reason, probably cause we're all to fat and lazy and check it periodically

 

hmmm yes, i should look more into this.

 

Why would you want them! Go buy a another set of rims and swap happily!

 

Some info I just pulled from the Lancer service manual:

GR00002900-42B.pdf

This is ONLY for vehicles with fastkey system:

- Signal from the tpms sensors is received by KOS-ECU (Keyless system)
- ABS ECU feeds vehicle speed signal to KOS ECU, ECM feeds baro pressure to KOS ECU
- KOS-ECU stores alarm status as well as transmitter ID's
- K)S-ECU is accessed from the data link connector (OBD-II port)

So, sounds like the KOS box is the key. Vehicles with Fastkey have a receiver antena module at connector C-10, it mentions a Wireless control module at C-09 for cars that have WCM (whatever that is)
