going with no TPMS sensors question

Dave223 · Dec 14th, 2018, 20:53

Hi there everyone! New S60 owner, 2016 R-design T6 E-drive.
Got it in september, and getting a set of wheels for winter performance studded tires.*
Heres my question: Can I go with no TPMS sensors in the wheels, and not have any error lights/codes that would disable a function on the vehicle?*
For example, on my previous car, a 2013 honda, if there was a fault in the TPMS system you could not turn off traction control. Will the volvo trigger anything such? (besides the obvious TPMS light).

I can go without the TPMS sensors, their expensive. If your smart you always look at your tires whenever approaching/leaving your car, and if your a skilled driver you should be able to feel in the handling of the vehicle if the pressure is low.

-Cheers

You actually have TPMS sensors on your car? My similar vintage V60 doesn't, it has a tyre monitoring system that uses the ABS speed sensors to compare the relative wheel speeds, which then shows up a tyre that has decreased in diameter due to lost pressure.
