Cloning a New Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor (TPMS)

[@ricksexton2272]

I'm glad to see your struggles that all mechanics go through and yes you made it harder on yourself than you had to. Much respect for what you do.

[@jameswatkins7278]

Step one mark the outside of the tire at the valve stem with a “V” pointing to the valve stem Step two add washer fluid to the reservoir to turn off the message on the instrument cluster Thanks for all your videos I’ve learned so much from you

[@josemontes9050]

I haven't seeing you struggling so much with a tire, but is a good lesson, because it happen a lot to us every time.

Chrysler TIPMs, they work great in stop and go traffic....

[@davidbrown1037]

Good Video as always. I have the same tool but 1 - 2 models lower. I bought it mainly for another function though. You can use it to verify Key FOB Transmissions. If you have a Key FOB that doesn't work, it is difficult to tell if it is the Battery, or the buttons, or ??? That tool can read the radio transmission from the FOB to ensure that it transmits from each button. Great for fixing a worn button. I live in Sidney B. C. Canada on Vancouver Island and our back yard is a Tidal Arm from the Pacific Ocean. That Chrysler with the bad TIPM, sounds a lot like the flocks of Canadian Geese that collect on the water behind our house and practice Formation Flying before heading south for the winter. They fly overhead and "HONK" continuously. Just like that Chrysler! After a few weeks, they leave and go south..... I think some of the practice is trying to find a leader that knows where south is. I don't know..... just sounded like them and made me laugh!

[@davidb.fishburn9338]

Chrysler dealer tech here, working in the used car dept, i knew that the leaky stem was not going to be fixed by tightening the nut, due to the corrosion. When you run out of the Autel sensor, get more. What i've seen is that the sensors in many cases cannot be programmed with a different brand tpm tool. I wish the industry would standardize the comm protocols for the sensors so that any brand sensor can be programmed by any brand tool. I've done the pop out the old sensor and pop in the new one just with one bead popped. Have lost a sensor inside too, the trick is to push the loose bead down far enough to reach in with a tool and grab the sensor. As far as getting tire back in place for the balance, it's far easier to clamp the wheel and move the tire. I agree with the sentiment about the tipm, it's a stupid idea to permanately mount relays into a circuit board, especially those that can fail often.

[@dominicene3647]

[@smonetus]

Oh Man, did this video bring back memories of working in a full service gas station as a teenager. My boss had me doing tires on Saturdays whenever they came in, of course we did not have TPMS sensors to worry about breaking.

[@adilmchichou5710]

The best technician I ever seen genius ( scanner danner ) doesn't know really how to mount a tire with sensor that s mean you focus on the real stuff and that s good thanks scanner danner

[@PaulyD0859]

This video is full of awesomeness! All the great quotes. My favorite is, “I didn’t break it, I broke it by just pushing down on the tire.” But man, all the other stuff... trying to stop the leak by tightening the stem nut, not being able to break loose the lug nuts, saying, “I’ll deal with that later,” trying to avoid rebalancing the wheel. LOL! This is solid gold, my friend! I’m sorry I could only hit the “thumbs up” one time.

[@ScannerDanner]

Paul,I started with an old Coats 10-10,that was more worn out than mata Haris mattress,,went thru over 20k removals ,,tire from rim for Old man's scrapyard,,,,since,,I think we've followed similar paths,, enjoyed this,for old times sake!!

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Paul,just a word of caution always stand behind or in front of tire when airing them up. 40 yrs in the aircraft industry taught us not to be facing the rim in case it blows. Thanks for the video my friend. Good camera work Caleb. Paul your brother has one nice shop and set-up. Lucky you. 👍👍

[@23thebull]

you may not be a tire changer but your an excellent teacher .

[@wyattoneable]

Autel made a great tool because of the options that are included. I just installed sensors in aftermarket wheels and need to reprogram the computer to accept the different tire pressures the new tires require. I'll look for your video on that, thanks.

[@dmorley100]

Couple of things I noticed. One, @9:10, the tire machine you tried to use before switching to the other tire machine because you couldn’t get the head of the machine down to the wheel, there are 4 pedals on the front of that machine. The pedal furthest to the left would’ve lower the head assembly. The other thing is when you had the valve stem out of its hole in the rim, because of the corrosion that was present on the TPMS sensor seal, you should’ve taken a 2 inch long piece of coarse emory cloth, rolled it up the way people who smoke marijuana roll up joints, then stuck the marijuana joint emory cloth roll in the valve stem hole in the wheel and cleaned the corrosion out of the hole before you put in the new TPMS sensor. It’s possible you may wind up having another leak in the same spot because this wasn’t done.

[@ScannerDanner]

Never noticed the corrosion in the valve stem hole. Guess that's why I stick with wiring lol

[@padroooo]

Paul that was funny watching you drop that TPMS sensor inside of that tire. I did it twice yesterday on my 20 inch 1999 Plymouth Prowler wheels. The big difference is I don't have a tire machine and low profile tires are a lot harder to work with if you don't have the right tools. I bought the Autel TS508 and cloned a set of four TPMS sensors on my spare set of tires for my Prius. Those metal valve stems don't like salt and go bad when they go through too many winters as you now know.

[@jameskeeler6321]

[@FASTECAUTO]

I love the originality of this video...the workshop can be a very fun place most times...that horn!!🤣🤣

[@andrewjohn7782]

Did you notice the size difference between the old and new sensors? My 07 Toyota sensors lasted 9 years before I changed them (while replacing the second set of tires). I used clone(able) sensors as they avoided the reprogramming if the system. The 'clone' sensors started failing in less than 3 years (and they were always slower at displaying the tire pressure than the OEM sensors). I Dissected the parts (yes I kept the originals) and found the clone sensor battery to be about 1/3 the milli-amp hour rating (they were standard button batteries, soldered in, in both cases). I bought new Denso OEM parts on the web for less than $30 ea instead of putting clone units in again. They had to be programmed be hand, n sequence, with our Autel Maxisys, but they are back to displaying the tire pressure before the wheels even start turning (clones took from 20 second to 2 minutes after the tires started rotating). If you are going to keep your car, think about the life expectancy (I would prefer to not change sensors each time I replace my tires - time and money). If you are servicing other people's cars, 3 or so years might be ok for them - but you might want to ask. If they are low mileage users, the sensor will probably go before their tires need replacement, and that might look bad for you. Yes, cloning is quick and having 'one part fits all' is convenient at the shop, but I find it's a pain, and an added expense, to change them more often than the tires. Thanks for the memories.

[@bioweaponsystem154]

These were a lifesaver for my 2014 Ford Transit Connect. I could not for the life of me get any aftermarket sensors for it. Ford was back-ordered and expensive as heck. The tire tech I took it to didn't have any entries on his tool to get the type of sensors I needed generated. I had to use another scanner tool to activate the reprogramming procedure and it took a few tries because the radio interfered with programming but otherwise I was pleased. My only lament was I didn't pickup the sensors with the rubber valve stems, so now I got to replace them but that's a story for another day.

The tool to read the frequency cost me about 150 I believe, but I have some occasional clients that want this fixed and I tell them which one they need to replace for a small fee and I reprogram it too. The tool has a walk through on the programming sequence so no need to look around.

[@jimmiller9641]

Every time you change tires you are supposed to replace the sensor grommets. It’s the same reason for changing valve stems every time. The kits have the rubber grommets, nickel plated valve core, a new nut (which needs Tq’ed to a specific in lb, says it on package) and a new cap. Also. NEVER use bead sealer on them. You could get some in the sensor pressure hole and it’ll never read again. Rule of thumb is, if you have to use bead sealer you need a new wheel.

You can buy repair kits that come with new seals. Most aftermarket parts place sell them. And keep your tpms sensor

The aftermarket EZ sensors are great. Usually cheaper in price than preprogrammed sensors from the local parts store that sells both.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I'm putting my money on some swollen, cracked and green front airbag sensors in your truck causing the airbag light, Paul. 😉 I have the same truck, only in a 1500. Maybe if I had ponied up the dough for the HD model, I wouldn't have replaced my differential at 97k. Looks like you got better paint than I did, too - right above my rear fender well on both sides of the box are several swollen rust blisters under the paint. Truck has been garaged since the day I drove it off the showroom floor in '07, too. 😡 Great vid! Love Autel's sensors. I haven't used or programmed any yet, but when they first came out, I was very glad. I've got the Maxisys 906TS that can program them. My OE wheels are my winter set, so those got sold on eBay many years ago, and regular valve stems installed instead. I just deal with the stupid light. 😁 My summer wheels are off a '10 LTZ, so the batteries should be dying in those any day now. Shocked they're still working at the moment. 10 years seems to be the magic number here in MA for that. Don't sweat the tire struggle. The struggle is real, lol! I do that every day with everything, it seems. More so when the camera is on - funny how that works ... Just got back from a week in OH. Catching up on KZbin vids now.

[@ablackformula]

The OCD in me is on fire right now. Three bolt-in sensors and one snap-in? I prefer snap in myself but change the other three :) Also -- although you didn't appear to have much trouble, the sensors are much easier to snap-in if you disconnect the sensor first, put in the valve stem, then re-install the sensor. It allows the steel inner part of the valve stem room to move.

[@nicke2307]

Been there done that lmao... I think yours came off because you tried to tighten the valve stem nut. Usually you hold a little metal dowel to keep the valve stem stationary. In your case it turned the valve stem and backed it out because there was no metal dowel holding it

[@xoxo2008oxox]

It sure is hot this weekend! Love that funny kung-fu tire removal tool!

Well, maybe disconnect the Chrysler horn and connect a headlamp bulb to that circuit so you can eliminate the noise yet still observe the TIPM failing. Autel does have the cool TPMS clone feature that few others can compete with.

Great video scanner danner i always look forward to your videos i have learned a lot from you

[@castinn]

I know this was three years ago, but I'm thinking the sensor got broken because when you were wrenching on it, it turned about 90 degrees, which put it in the way of the tire when you broke the bead. Got to be careful about the orientation of the sensor when tightening the new stem nut. Can't let it move.

[@ScannerDanner]

Yeah I don't remember lol, sorry

[@YourAverageFNAF_Edits]

[@thomastorres4125]

Someone probably mentioned the stem is replaceable. The one thing I dislike about the tpms tools from autel can only program their sensors so you are stuck buying their sensors I'm not sure about their tablet based one (the most recent tpms tool out from them)

[@throttlebottle5906]

forgot to say, noble attempt at just tightening it, but of course the real seal and leak is from the inside lol. in a pinch and temporary fix, back the nut way off, teflon tape wrap the threads, also roll some up into a string and place in the groove/hole until it's overfilled, then run the nut back down sandwiching the rolled up stuff into the void, enough there and it tries to force it into the leak area and seals the threads both. of course you can only put so much pressure on the TPMS shaft/nut/threads before it snaps off. lol

Looks like you feel like me. When working on your on shit, you're not worried about the "come back" because you're constantly testing your own repairs, maybe even slightly in a way that you're testing you're own customer repairs, or whether you're own vehicle repairs (while they often are more hurried than customer repairs) you're gathering data basically.
