How do I remove TPMs Warning....

nope
It's a legal requirement on vehicles in the USA since 2007. Not required in Canada but we get the same vehicles. Can't be turned off so you get to live with it or install sensors in the wheels and get the system to recognize them (pay the dealer).

Too much integration
You may find a fuse for the receiver (probably kill a whole bunch of other circuits on the same fuse), but the computer still looks for the information from the receiver on the CAN bus. If the data doesn't arrive, you'll get the error. If you find some magical way to do it, PLEASE report back as many of us have been trying since 2007.

Looks like ivanz's idea is the only way to go. I talked to my local dealer and looked in the factory service manual. It appears that the TPMS function is handled by a wireless computer that also handles the Bluetooth and other functions in the car that involve radio frequency communication. We can't disable TPMS without disabling other functions.
I did find a company called Bartec that makes a TPMS troubleshooting and reset tool for the auto repair industry. Their product is a Tech400 TPMS Tool and it costs $2699 list price. Too expensive for the average owner but there is one possible help for us. Go www.whytpms.com. Click on the link on the left side labeled "TPMS Dealer Search". This will bring up a page with a map on it. Enter your zip code and it will show you the location of independent shops near you that have purchased this tool and can reset the warning for what is hopefully a lower price than the dealer.

I shouldnt have to do so much work for a stupid tire pressue warning. I check my tire with a digital gauge all the time and know before the TPMS when my tires need air.
I always thought those things were useless....
Lets be honest, TPMS is for idiots who need also to be told by the car when to shift or when to change the oil....

it's a bullsh!t issue
I don't need a nanny built into my wheels to tell me I have a flat. Been driving for 25 years without it. that's for clueless bimbos who need to drive a giant SUV while talking on their cellphones. Gubment has to protect them from themselves. You must be one of those.
