ivan edake 13 #25 Posted October 24, 2020 The test gets worse.Once upon a time if an air bag or an abs warning light stayed on it was not a test failure ,but it is now.The simple way to make one of these lights go out is to reconnect the bulb or diode to either the ignition warning light or the oil pressure warning light.

But dont fancy myself doing that thanks anyway IN Conclusion to my query . If any of your tyres are going down and you dont have a puncture you can buy valve Stems on the net 4 for £10 and put sensors in off your old tyres same price. I had mine fitted at local tyre place cost £40 // Prob better going to a big tyre place like Dexell they can sort lot out for £60 a wheel For enthusiasts who change there wheels over in winter and have dreaded light on dash and want to take light of good luck plenty of lads on U Tube say they can do it but i dont know but doubt it same as any one on here . Mine is a fiesta on a 2014 plate so youd think it would be easy. Same as said either main dealer or good tyre dealer like dexell If you buy any second hand alloys remember to take valves of old wheels Edited October 28, 2020 by spider1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

On a modern car just because some one has a spare set of wheels with expensive winter tyres on but dont think many mot testers will be checking if the lights on . I know all decent mot centres if the lights on will go round and pump tyres up to take it of // I know top places like dexel now keep sensore to sort it out but back street places no so make sure you have no light on . Place at wales bar now geared up for it been told and will sort it Just checked the t p m s light on my fiesta doesnt come on if my pressures are okay so if i could take it off i would ./ Edited October 29, 2020 by spider1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

And 99% of the population will just get the problem fixed, rather than a bit of auto electrics or taking the clocks out or dash out or finding some code to enter and not having the means to enter it in the first place. Struggling to see how it makes the test worse, if a car has air bags or ABS then to know they are working correctly is an important piece of information. Otherwise, what's the point?
