As long as you don't live in a state that mandates TPMS, and if you do, as long as you can get you vehicle inspected when you have summer tires on... just ignore the light. After owning a VW I got good at ignoring trouble lights.
Next set of tires I get I plan to pull sensors, install into a PVC pipe, pressurize and leave under a seat or trunk. I like TPMS and would spend the money, if Toyota had bothered with a dashboard readout of each tire pressure. Since it's just good/bad... it's worthless to me.
