If you have an OBDII USB adapter (elm scan compatible IIRC) you can use www.forscan.org to enable/disable TPMS as well as a few other things.

Just put on the winter wheels and see how she does. Mine doesn't light the tpms for days or weeks at a time, and when it does light, it stays on for a few hours, or a few days and goes out again for a few days or weeks. Totally randomn, and totally useless.
I've got to look at forscan again, I did not see anything about tpms last time I was poking around in it.

They keep adding features as they figure stuff out.

At least it doesn't flash the hazards 20 times like the 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan my sister-in-law just got.

"I have finally got around to decoding more of the DDM data. (Drivers Door Module)
For those that wan't t to try disabling their TPMS, I will share what I know.
Crown Victoria's are factory set in the DDM as A0-06 2323 2300 00, which decodes to 35 psi front, 35 psi rear and 35 psi spare.
Lincoln Town Car's are set as follows, A0-06 2121 2100 00, which decodes to 33 psi front, 33 psi rear and 33 psi spare.
Setting it to A0-06 0000 0000 00 will set your tire pressures to 0, whether or not it disables the monitoring system looking for the sensors I honestly can't say."
If I good understand, If I will change parameters in DDM to A0-06 0000 0000 00, that should disable working of TPMS - am I right ?
Probably I also found easier way to soultion problem of winter tires, etc. - put all 4 strap's with sensor on spare tire, set right pressure and forget about it'09 Grand Marquis LS - Light Ice Blue / Medium Light Stone, J-mod, dual exhaust with Magnaflow 11224, PI intake, Marty's tune

"Should". I know it worked on the Focus forum I found the info in. The spare solution may work but that would require dismounting/remounting the tire. For me, saving the current settings and changing them with the OBD-II would be easier. Then just make that part of the routine of changing between sets of tires.
