How to turn off tire pressure light NCS Expert

At first I want to say hello to all Mini friends in the US!

I´m a Mini driver from Germany and bought last year an US import R56 Cooper S.

Since I changed summer wheels to winter wheels the tire pressure light is on. I tried to reset but it didn´t succeed.
Today I read, that US Minis have modules in the wheels which control the pressure. In Germany this system is different and works with the ABS sensor.
The wheels I have at my Mini at the moment are not US wheels and so I can´t reset by the standard way.

So I want to deactivate the tire pressure system by NCS Expert but I could not find the module I have to change.

May someone of you can help me?

I´m sorry for my bad English but happy to find this forum!
Thank you and greets from Germany!

JayJay

I am not exactly sure how to do ths in a MINI, but roughly...

- physically disconnect the RDC(TPMS) ECU
- remove the option from the VO using NCSExpert. It might be option 2VB
- code to default, KOMBI, and the MINI equivalents of the DSC and CAPPL ECUs. I a, not sure what they are called on a MINI.
- the RPA versionif TPMS should be enabled automatically

Hope this helps!
