galewis Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Hi everyone... Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the tyre pressure sensor warnings? The reason I ask is that I have two sets of alloy wheels. One for summer, one for winter use. One set does not have the sensors the other does, and I keep getting the 'Service' indicator and associated warning stating that 'tyre pressures not monitored'. Is there a way you can disable this warning via the onboard computer, or does anyone know if a dealer can do it? Thanks Gary Quote
galewis Posted October 25, 2006 Author Posted October 25, 2006 Dealer only that request Do you know for sure that a dealer can do it? I.e. that there is an option within the software to turn warning on/off? Or are you saying that there's simply no way for the end customer to do it? Thanks Gary Quote
ham's c4vts Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 KFK is a "technician" at a citroen dealer so he knows .i had mine enable as they wernt before, so its a trip to the dealer oh no he never!!! :) see below Quote
Stuey Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 ^^^im with stoopid ^^^ KFK is a Citroen Tech...I think we can trust him... :)stoopid time delay!! I typed this before Ham's post popped up!! Quote
Stuey Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 look at the edited post... but yes I am stalking you, I already have the Rossi t-shirt, the C4, most of the same car cleaning stuff...you just wait til a house comes for sale on your street :) Quote
galewis Posted October 25, 2006 Author Posted October 25, 2006 Thanks guys..... Sorry... didn't realise KFK works in a dealership. Do you know if it's a freebie to make the change or does anyone have an idea regarding the charge? Quote
kfk Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Normally chargeable, depends on how you get on with your dealer. Of course if your vehicle is going in for other repairs that are going to involve the computers looking at you may find they will untick the box and do it for nothing. Quote

He could probably write you a Linux utility that would let your mobile phone switch any of the cars software systems on and off. Just contemplating the fact that in another thread we are all discussing the fact the car does not need a service for 2 years and yet in many other threads we keep coming up with reasons to visit the dealer.

ham's c4vts Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 lol, you may have a point there!not used mine yet though(air freshners) Quote
Stuey Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 same here, mine are still sealed and in the boot pocket. Exactly where they where when I picked the car up. Quote
Ciaran2903 Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Well i seem to one of the few that actually does use my air fresheners! :D If you've got it, flaunt it! :huh: Quote
Stuey Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I dont want my car smelling like a Sumatran Sunrise or whatever they are called... Quote
Mat Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I put a new one in the other day, before a long drive up the Newcastle. My car still stinks of toilet cleaner !!! Quote

Ciaran2903 Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 There is one that smells like toilet cleaner, but there are also some really nice ones too!!! Quote
Rich_Eason Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 which one is the bog cleaner one as I dont want that in my car. I bet it has Pine or Forest in the title as i often find Wood and Woods/Aboritums always smell of toilets.... :D Quote
