Does that make any warning lights/codes come on? Which wire, can you take a photo and post here?

Thanks

It's the BMS wire.

Lots of threads on it in a location better than the tips and tricks section.

When the wire is disconnected the battery management system no longer functions. If that is the case, the start/stop system is disabled.

Is there a way to turn of the TPMS warning light every-time I start my truck?

I install my winter wheel/tires which I purchased for my previous truck (2013)
I had tpms sensors put in when I bought them but those tpms sensors do not work with my 2018.

I bought this set, and according to the guys at discount tire all 4 were DOA

Edit: sorry, mine came from another seller.
Also, you need to make sure you get the correct frequency for your truck.

Well ya...I guess thats the optimal solution.
I just didn't want to have to take the wheels/tires in and chance them scuffing the wheels while swapping out for new sensors as the wheels are teflon coated.

If you have FORScan you can disable the TPMS completely for the winter

I do just that every winter and re enable again in spring.

Looking for ways to utilize my audio system to its abilities. I only use the voice command to make phone calls, but am aware of other capabilities within it.

Is there a thread here, or a link to, other folks tips and tricks of how they use this feature?

My truck is a 15 Lariat.
