send koicarpkeeper a message, should able to sort you out with one.

 

Not sure about opcom being capable of deactivating tpms though

 

I'm not sure either.
If you know it can be done with OpCom PM me for details of a unit that will work.

 

I really need OPCOM to turn this off. Anyone on here know if this can be down or not??

If not what’s the cheapest and easiest way to sort this out if OPCOM can’t deactivate it please

 

When you say not worked , what exactly do you mean ?
TPMS sensors generally last around 5 years before requiring replacement , you can fit good quality aftermarket sensors.
As your car is a 2010 year model it's a good chance the sensors are in need of replacement.

 

It’s saying uneven pressure balance both front and rear. I’ve had the pressure check and they are all correct. Last night when I was driving home the front drivers one just completely died. On the dash where it will show you the pressure of each tyre. The front drivers one doesn’t show a reading at all now and the car now says service tyre sensors.

 

Yep you need new sensors fitting , the signal becomes weak over time.

 

Where is the cheapest and best place to buy these and do I need to replace all 4 or just the dodgy ones ??

 

AliExpress

Just dodgy one but I would buy a spare one for myself as another one may die soon as well

Make sure you buy the correct part for your car as they having different MHz sequences

Thank you

Is there anyway of deactivating it though via OPCOM does anyone no??

 

http://opcomusers.org/forum/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0

could try over on the opcom users forum.

 

I’ll have a look there

The drummer in my band just said couldn’t you pull the fuse out for it. Would that work

 

Nope. You want be able to do this with China clone. perhaps you could with a professional version of it but not sure.

How much do Vauxhall dealers charge now a days to plug it in. Might be easier and quicker just to do that

 

What for?
When you buy your sensor and fit it in than you have to activate it again and pay them again.
Don't worry about warning light it won't affect any mot anyway.
Unless you want to disable it permanently.but I don't think if dealers will do that.

I just don’t really want that feature so I’d rather not worry about it and deactivate it completely

 

Not sure if a dealer would deactivate the tpms as its law for all cars now to have them fitted & working.

 

Bugger !! I’m going to pop in today and ask anyway.

 

just pop in my local dealer and they won’t deactivate it but they have said that the car probably needs to relearn the sensors because all the tyres have been replaced and probably not put back on the same corner??

Does this sound right. They are gonna charge me £50 to relearn the system. Is there another way to do this ??

 

@Boroboy may know, am sure he has replaced his over the years.

 

You’d probably need to remove the tpms module then rescan and remove it from the list of available modules, if you get my drift.

A few points
1/i have the latest opcom and don't see any way of using it to deactivate the TPMS
2/i've checked in GDS2 and there's no deactivation option there either
3/TPMS became compulsory in the UK from 1/1/2014 so a 2010 car won't be compulsory
4/if it's the GM system fitted it should be auto learn,no need for a dealer to do it,but if the system is all ok i would have expected it to have sorted itself quite quickly
I reckon it would be best to figure out what's fitted so if you post the reg i can check if the TPMS was fitted at the factory.

 

Thanks for chiming in Valer

Reg is KM59 LVA

 

ok it left the factory with the UJN tpms option (auto learn)
This is the learn parameters,but i agree it's probably either the sensors or tpms module at fault

Auto Learn  RPO-Code „UJN“
The tyre pressure sensors are automatically learned to the vehicle after any wheel or wheel set change by the additional auto-learn module (ALM). To initiate the learn procedure, the vehicle has to be left standing still for 20 minutes with the ignition off (sensors go into sleep mode) and afterwards by performing a learn drive of approx. 10 minutes in a speed range between 25 to 60 mph.
On vehicles before model year 2014, it may take up to 20 minutes, until a fault is detected. If within 15 consecutive ignition cycles no successful learning process could be performed, the message "Winter Mode" will appear in the Driver Information Centre (DIC) and dashes (---) will be displayed instead of the pressure. If the winter mode is detected, TPMS is disabled
The nominal pressures (Light, Eco or Max) are stored in the body control module. According to the adjusted tyre pressures, the correct load condition has to be selected in the instrument.
Prior to any repair attempts, it´s absolute necessary to check, whether the issue
is a tyre pressure warning or a system fault.
 TPMS telltale is illuminated permanent after switching ignition on:
A tyre pressure warning is shown due to low pressure being detected on one or several tyres.
If vehicle is equipped with an instrument with DIC, a message dedicated to the faulty tyre(s) is shown. System works, as it should.
Check tyre pressures. If all tyre pressures are OK, check system settings.
 TPMS telltale is initially flashing for 90 seconds and then illuminated permanent after switching ignition on:
A system fault is present. If vehicle is equipped with an instrument with DIC, the message “check TPMS system“ is shown.

 

So what my local Vauxhall dealer said is a load of s*#t then about it needing to be plugged in to re-learn itself

 

i'd say so,in the meantime i've found this old bulletin that suggests it's possible to self deactivate the tpms on pre 2014 Insignias although it doesn't say how,
see what you think

 

That looks promising. Is this using OPCOM??

 

No that would be by SPS on 2014 >
but my point was it says pre 2014 can be self deactivated

 

I’ve searched google for deactivating it but no luck
