A couple of years ago when these tire pressure sensors were relatively new and giving false warning lights ,I read on one of the automotive forums that people were hacking the system and only having the sensor in the spare tire to satisfy the "nanny" system.Might be worth investigating if someone wants to remove the sensors.
Although not directly related to this topic, I'm glad I bought my 2014 Touring.The idea was to get a new ride that had the basic creature comforts and was as simple and reliable as possible.Hence no cvt,turbo or timing belt.No auto climate control.No automatic stop/start (somebody shoot me) that was making it's debut a few places.Then Mazda comes out with electric parking brake and TPMS sensors in the wheels.LED headlights that gotta be expensive to fix after warranty runs out and other things.
Political situation aside, this world is getting more contradictory and bizarre.The automotive situation has more safety related features (mandated or otherwise) like lane departure warning,auto braking,adaptive cruise control etc to make driving more idiot proof and then they want to push driverless vehicles.Holy Sh*#t Batman !!!
Can't wait for driverless semi's if it ever happens.It seems like the over application of technology is increasing and common sense is decreasing.I can't be alone in my thinking.Well,enough rambling. Jmaz
