The first assembled Suzuki TPMS sensors simulating modules:

Hurrah, “Service TPMS” yellow screens no more!

No TPMS sensors fitted to the rims ?

This nasty yellow screen gets hold of your dashboard computer. A more convenient solution to the problem:

This simulator device makes the vehicle’s computer think it has pressure sensors on all wheels and everything is fine. As a consequence, the Service TPMS error and the accompanying “Christmas tree” lights that you experience will clear out leaving the dashboard just as it looks with the original tire pressure sensors (TPMS sensors) mounted on your Suzuki. No other wired connection to the vehicle aside from the 12 V input needed for this. The battery powered device does not require even that. 1, 2, 3 or 4 sensors can be simulated by the device.

The simulation is reversible – unplug the device and the yellow screen will show up again. This device will serve its purpose just fine for the entire life of the vehicle, for both summer and winter tires.

The device works with Suzuki vehicles manufactured after 2013 and sold in Europe. It is currently running fine on a couple hundred of various vehicles:

• Vitara
• SX4
• S-Cross
• Grand Vitara
• Baleno
• Swift
• Jimny
• Ignis

models, and it should also work with all other models that are using the transmitter model S180052024. Those other models are Alto, Carry Van, Celerio, Grand Vitara, Kizashi, Splash, Fiat Sedici, Lada Kalina, Opel Agila; they are using the same TPMS sensors and may be well served by this device (according to this shop and this ebay store).

Which one to chose: corded or battery powered ?

The permanent place of operation for the device is in the vehicle’s boot. The corded device needs a 12 V power outlet inside the boot, and costs 10 euros more due to more parts and labour involved. Otherwise the battery version will work just fine for a predicted 5 – 7.5 years of daily two hours driving, on all of the vehicles above, in most cases.

The batteries are replaceable (2 x AA). However, for prolonged periods of non-use and especially if the car sits under the scorching sun then there is the risk for them to leak. Since there is no ON/OFF button on the device there is also the inconvenience of screwing and unscrewing 4 screws  twice an year for insulating the batteries from the circuitry (or pulling them out altogether). This does not happen all that often though; how many times did you find your spent remote control batteries having leaked ? Then again, remote controls are kept at room temperature.

Also, for those of you with a lot of really cold days throughout the winter: the alkaline chemistry is not suited for the job. They retain about 16% capacity at -17 C (0 F) and 66% at 0 C (32 F). Once the alkalines deplete either switch to the more costly lithium AA bateries – good down to -40 C ( -40 F); also they got a non leaky chemistry. Or go for the corded device.

As far as I know most New Vitara, all S-Cross and some New Jimny models have the 12 V power socket in the boot. Of course, you may install or already have installed a 12 V socket in the boot after purchasing the car.

Feel free to drop any questions.

Return policy

The price for only the device (shipping excluded, meaning only 50/60 EUR) will be reimbursed in the following circumstances:

• No more than 60 days from the date you have received the device have passed;
• I am not asked for any fees for the returned item – I will not be accepting such items, so please be careful;
• The device is still operational and physically not damaged.

Should the device break on its own (without much aid from the human factor), there is 1 year of warranty.

Of course, you probably want the tire pressure sensors simulator device working with your Suzuki, so be sure to ask for help if need be. Please also be aware that this is not a plug & play device. A few steps are required in order for the device to calibrate and for the vehicle to learn it. Not hard, but just so you know.
