Hi,
My wife got a 2015 Impreza this summer and I'm looking to put snow tires on it (including a new set of wheels). I like to be able to swap them out myself without a visit to the shop 2x per year. It doesn't look like that's possible without the TPMS light being on - even if I get new Subaru TPMS sensors, since they will have to be reset every time I swap. So my question is, does the TPMS in the 2015 Impreza do anything but warn you about tire pressure? I need to make sure it doesn't affect any sort of engine diagnostics or ECM , VDC or anything else that I know little about .
There was a topic related to this a few years ago, but I want to make sure I can just stare at/ignore the light for a couple of months without doing any damage in a 2015 model. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/115484-do-tires-with-no-sensors-effect-vdc/ . We don't need to get it inspected with the winter set, so that's not an issue.
I guess my other question is - will it ever 'forget' the summer tires? Or will it remember them after being apart from the car for a few months?
Thanks in advance.
