How can I disconnect the tyre pressure warning system on my Renault Laguna 2, 1.9 diesel saloon. From new I have had false readings from the sensors whenever it is cold and now one of the sensor valves has died and Renault require over £150.00 to relace.

John Ramshaw, February 2005

I had the same problem on my scenic, I had them switched off for twenty five pounds, he also told me that the front wheels were on the back, that's why I couldn't inflate the right wheel to remove the warning from the dash board.
Something to think about.

i have just bought a renault with tyre fault lights showing for no reason. i made an old (blown) fuse into a connector by soldering on 2 wires (one to each pin) then fitted an in line fuse/fuse holder and a small push switch,just under the ashtray by the diagnostic plug between those 2 wires, in series....now all i have to do is pull out the ashtray,start the car,press the switch to break the circuit,car stops running, remove keycard, press switch again to connect circuit,replace ashtray and re-start the car....display re-sets....i was going to put the switch somewhere more accessible,but...hitting it by accident and turning off all power at 70 in the fast lane would not be a good idea. i have to do this about 2 times a week,but it is cheap and effective(fuseholder +switch £4 at carspares) it is fuse 2 on my laguna, marked as "alim uch". i do check the tyres each time in case the crap system DID find a real fault!!!

If you disable TPMS removing the fuse as described , if you want to activate again TPMS is it possible or not??

I have a similar problem. I have a 52 reg renualt laguna and the tyre sensor on the passenger side does not work. The red lights comes on the dashboard and does not show the pressure as well. It was diagnosed but the red lights has come back. Does anyone know how I can fix it?

Harry, July 2012

I have a 54reg renault laguna, I have a sensor fault on my dashboard, this was computer diagnosed as being the rain and light sensor but i just tried a new one and the fault remains, the dash displays a car and the words sensor fault, i am inclined to think it is in the tyre sensors somewhere, a garage inflated my tyres yesterday and now i have a red tyre light above my seatbelt warning light but this goes off after a few seconds, i have done thr trick about pulling out fuse 2 but it does not cut out the car, the car continues running, and i cant find the other box you guys are talking about, whats going on

stu, July 2012

send the car to a war zone and hope it gets blown up

big bad bry, June 2012

Hi to all those who need an answer to this jack the car up on passenger side and underneath on that side near the middle you will find a small unit with one plug in it this the receiver for the sensors. Unclip the plug and the dash display returns to normal. Be aware from April any warning lights or sensor faults showing on the the dash of any car is now an instant MOT failure!!! Good luck

Demonmerc, May 2012

thanks to Rich37 worked for me too, the lights have been driving me mad for weeks now

Andyman1uk, April 2012

Thought I solved problem but light is back on today and I have no wheels on display someone help me please

Rich37, April 2012

I had all four valves replaced today with rubber ones pulled out fuse number 2 while car running. Re started engine all lights off and tyres are showing ok on dash :) one problem fixed

Rich37, March 2012

Let the tyres down then inflate up to 30+ lbs
jobs a goodun ;-)

I live in France, have 2.2 DCI Laguna 2004. Tyre pressure sensors have been driving me nuts, local Renault garage said they couldn't be disabled. Removing and replacing fuse only worked for a while before false readings started again. Got another garage to plug in to the onboard computer and re-set. All seemed fine, 24 hours later, back to fault. Renault themselves should address this problem - too many people are having the same problem. It seems to be common knowledge in France that Lagunas and other Renaults are a royal pain electrically.

Le Blakey, February 2011

Hi folks.First of all -very good forum.
I'd like to thank ADAM on this thread for his advice.....(remove/replace fuse)it works-the only downfall is that your tyre pressures are now not monitored,so invest the ££££s saved on new rubber valves & a handheld tyre pressure checker. Once again thanks.

Marko, September 2010

Hi guys , i had all sensors replaced from local garage and did the fuse reset , it is fine for a while but then the computor seems to search for the sensors and then the dash lights up again ! is anyone else having the same probs ? any ideas

sean, April 2010

do you need to replace all the valves or just the broken one ( before doin the thing with the fuser) ?

natreg, April 2010

thanking you all works perfect now no silly lights on no more easy to do just remove the fuse and put it back and bobs ya uncle thanks

PIGGY LEA, April 2010

the guy just plugged in a hand-held device , it took 10 mins tops (all rubber valves now) i`m in south yorks..............just ring round , i`m sure you`ll find someone to do it for you

dm, April 2010

i got mine turned off at local garage for £20

dm, April 2010

help me ..... i have the tyre pressure light on and its bugging me..how do i fix this?

adam, March 2010

excellent advice, thanks above. I had a broken valve and was told it would be 120 to replaceplus reprogramming costs. so after reading this I got it replaced with a normal rubber valve, then I started the car, pulled out th efuse 10, second from top right hand side, car stopped, replaced fuse, took out key, locked door and opened door and restarted car. Job done :D
120 euro better off :D

Tomtom, February 2010

i got 2 spare one's if you want them

bryan johnson, February 2010

If I change the valve sensors for normal valves, will the computer keep telling me that the sensors are NOT WORKING ?
Or will it just not mention anything and place the display back in the OK display.

I have tried both ways of resetting but neither have worked for any length of time.

Thanks

Paul, January 2010

Having done nearly 200,000 miles in a Nissan Primera ( a not comfortable exercise ) with no problems AT ALL. I made the mistake of having a change. My Laguna 2002 has had a new gearbox, 2 alternators, 2 starter motors, front spring. The heater has never worked as planned. I can't recount how many of the individual spark plug coils I have replaced. The tyre pressure system has given me a yellow(at best) or as is now a red stop light when there is no problem from day one. Please, anyone who thinks of buying this car refrain. I was in the motor trade for years and this is the most disappointing car I have ever had as it was the most comfortable. Sorry Renault. Hope Laguna 3 proves better but I suspect not.

geoff, December 2009

There are 2 ways of solving this problem. Have all four tyre pressure sensors replaced with normal tyre valves at your local garage, then go to the drivers side fuse box (in the side of the dash board) and while the car is running take fuse number 2 out (10amp, top right hand corner second one down) the car will then cut out. replace the fuse and restart your car. job done. or on the other hand go to your rear passenger side wheel arch, and there will be a small plastic box just to the left of the shocker leg. This box often gets caked with mud thrown from the wheel. Remove the cover by a recessed 10mm nut in the center. it will reveal 2 water proof electrical connectors which will need cleaning off. After disconnecting and thouroughly drying the two connectors, reconnect them and put a hand full of grease on them and in the back of the box before recovering. replace the cover and nut and again fill the top and bottom entry holes with more grease. Then repeat the earlier step with the fuses and job done!!!

Thanks NAS. 10amp fuse trick did the business! Now to off-load the car on someone else and quickly!

Sven, September 2009

Renault Laguna 2001, 1.8. The sensor light for the tyre pressure is constantly on, have had a new set of tyres fitted and set at the correct pressure but sensor light remains on. Have pulled out fuse and put back in and the light goes out but comes back on after 10 minutes. Please help it's doing my head in.

Liam, July 2009

How come mine worked for about 10 minutes then flagged the "sensor fault" again ? did i do something wrong ? ps ive an 03 laguna privilige.

humf, July 2009

Did as Nas said. Novembre 2001 1.9DCI Laguna, Portugal. All the tire indicators were gone, and the orange sign was allways on on main dashboard. Now it is perfect. Thanks.

Antonio Fonseca, June 2009

if you have problems with tyre sensors and need to disable them take out red fuse 10 second one down on right your engine will stop leave for 3 minutes then put fuse back in then restart engine all tyre sensors are now disabled

steve, April 2009

/just take the bulb out of the instruments

harry jack, March 2009

had similar problem when had tyres changed. Indicators stayed flashing. I found that if you turn on ignition but not start engine after about 3 mins then everything reset all on its own and now OK.

Steve, March 2009

just had the system turned off £41 at renault dealer 20 min job

andy k, March 2009

nas are you saying have standard valves fitted and remove sensors from wheels? i have removed fuse and this resets the system but fault flags up again after 10 mins driving

andy k, February 2009

People you solved me a problem that has been a nightmare for 4 years... Thanks a million - sensors seem fine :)

Gordon Schembri, February 2009

Do as Nas says worked a treat me for no more warning lights on great.Remember to lock doors then reopen as the ammobiliser stops engine from starting without doing this.

Paul., February 2009

how do i disconnect the tyre pressure system on my 2002 laguna

ralph, February 2009

nas:THANK YOU i had the same problem on my car in Northern Ireland. Done as you said to try and yes it worked and you saved me money and the annoying light is now off. thank you

Martin ,Newtownards, February 2009

MASSIVE THANKS TO NAS.
Did as he suggested and it worked a treat. Dont know why it did, and this probably means it is not picking up the pressure at all. But do I care. NO! No more pesky
warnings every time I get into my car, which usually set me on edge for the day.

Thanks again

capt rob, January 2009

get the valves changed at your local tyre centre .......... cost 40 quid approx ............ with the engine running remove fuse 2 (engine immobiliser etc -red 10amp second on top right) the car will cut out,then replace the fuse and re-start the car, tyre pressure sensor problem has gone!!!! all four tyre lights remain lit on display unit as if nothing was wrong at all ! worked for me.

NAS, December 2008

Also getting same problem on 19dci 52 plate. first ns rear then after flat battery lights went out only to relight - this time with both rears.

What's the general conception with this problem? check connectors?

sam, November 2008

put some black taper over the offending lights and voila lights gone...then sell quickly hope this has been of help cheers the dodgy mechanic

Dodgy backstreet mechanic, August 2008

Possible cure not disconnect. I have a laguna 2 on a 51 plate which always made the dash board light up like a christmas tree, with false reports of tyre problems especialy after it had rained.
After carrying out a break service i noticed a small plastic box in the n/s/r (passenger side rear)wheel arch just to the left of the shocker leg (As you look in, with wheel removed). After closer inspection of this black box i realised that it was caked with mud thrown from the wheel. Whilst removing the cover which was secured by a recessed 10mm nut in the center which was also hidden by wet mud, it revealed two so called water proof electrical connectors which again needed cleaning off. putting 2 & 2 together i figured this may well be part of our beloved tyre pressure circuit.
After disconnecting and thouroughly drying the two connectors, i reconnected them and got a big hand full of everyday grease and plastered it all over the connections and in the back side of the box before recovering. replaced the cover and nut and again filled the top and bottom entry holes with more grease. Replace the wheel and take the old french beast for a spin. It may take the computer a few miles to take a new reading before you get the resault. One thing is for sure since sorting this out 5 months ago the only time my dash board has annoyed me is when i have had a genuine tyre issue. I have had no problems or side effects after this but obviously cant guarantee anything.
The job will take you 30 mins and all you need is lots of grease and a 10mm socket. be good to hear if anyone else has a good resault from this. Good luck maffa101

maffa101, October 2007

with the engine running remove fuse 2 (engine immobiliser ect)the car will cut out,then replace the fuse and re-start the car,voila tyre pressure sensor problem has gone!!!!

TONY LAYCOCK, June 2006

if you go into your renault dealer and ask to configure the car without tyre system they will do this for a small prise.

mark, March 2006

How do you reset the computer?

Neil, November 2005

Did you find a way of disabling the tyre pressure monitor? were having the same trouble, so wondered if you had any success

mxp07, July 2005

Have them replace the sensors under warranty or reset the computer
