Hurrah, “Service TPMS” yellow screens no more!
But, they still got some issues… 😐
EDIT 2018.02.06
Issues which I have now overcome.
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. 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 few
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).
This is easy; the permanent place of operation for the device is in the vehicle’s boot. Go for the corded device if there is a 12 V power outlet inside the boot, otherwise order the battery version.
As far as I know only the New Vitara (except for “Cool” – the entry version) and S-Cross (all) models have the 12 V power socket in the boot. Of course, you might have installed a 12 V socket after purchasing the car or I might be wrong and there already is a 12 V socket in the boot of your car.
Notice that even if you have the boot 12 V socket, you can still use the battery version should you prefer it to the corded device. Feel free to drop any questions.

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.
