How To Bypass The TPMS System On 2003-2009 Toyota 4runners | 2 MINUTE TUESDAY

[@germanhabreu]

13 years of staring at the stupid tpms light. GONE in 60 seconds. thank you so much for putting this out here 👍🏻

[@dunasingh8653]

I ordered 5 TPMS's (including the one for the spare) from AMZ for about $45 and had them installed in Costco Tire Center for $70. They have been working well on my 05 SR5 for 6 years as of today. Will try this trick next time when needed. Great video

[@ColinAverill]

You're my go-to channel for 4Runner stuff. You seem to hit all the things that we must all run into. Thanks!

[@CanadianGearhead]

Thanks for watching!

[@mj23bama]

I wanted to personally thanks you. Took all of less than -0 minutes. The hardest part was taking some of the tape off the wire. Very easy to do. Dealership gave me an estimate of 430. Cost me zero. I had everything in and electrical tool box. Thanks again

[@CanadianGearhead]

That's great to hear!!

[@jakemir]

Thank you for posting this. I have a 2004 that needed a new TPMS in the spare and two rear tires. I was quoted $300 to replace all five sensors. The splice connector on the two wires worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing

[@wanleung8853]

Thanks for posting this, worked on my 05 Limited. No more distraction from the flashing light.

[@SigmundQFreud]

My kinda guy. Ditch the unnecessary. Tried tested and worked perfect! Thanks!

[@quenzerbrau1]

Dude, you so totally rock! THANK YOU for this amazingly simple fix that now saves me from having to keep replacing these stupid sensors on my 2004 SR5 V8 T4R at $90 a pop.

[@pofishing5129]

It worked!! Thank you for the video...wish I saw this 4 years ago!!

[@allenc5108]

Wow! That easy, goes on today's "to-do" list for my '04 V8 Limited. Great channel for us Gen 4 T4R guys. I admire your garage collection. My garage sports an S2000 and Ducati Monster.

[@CanadianGearhead]

Sounds like a great pair!

[@user-vc7st1mb9z]

Thanks for this video! I was planning on installing bigger tires on my 07' 4runner and didn't want to have to replace those stupid TMPS!

[@Liberty4Ever]

Huge thanks. I just bought a 2005 4Runner and of course, the TPMS light is on. I'm not inclined to install new TPMS sensors with every tire change, which would be the only way to have a fairly reliable system. I'll keep good tires on it, look at them to see that one isn't obviously low, and check the pressures a couple of times a year. I'll probably wire a small switch in there and label it TPMS - ENABLE/DISABLE.

[@collieerdelt3514]

Just did this and it worked perfectly!! I also had a leaf up under that panel😂😂

[@grif900]

I put those leaves there.

[@scaley312]

[@hoopunit7776]

[@tomb1198]

I did the same thing on my '05 about 4 years ago. Great quick fix. But shops can't do it for you because of regulations. This video should help others, Thx

[@bryanjeffries4829]

So... what was that red plastic part called? Jump connector? I spent 5 min on amazon looking, and couldn't find it. 🙂

[@evankirschenmann4653]

Was looking just now, can't find this either. Should be in the description, but it is many years later at this point. 🤣🤣🤣

[@evankirschenmann4653]

found it. they're called "wire taps". pretty cheap.

[@stagesmith]

Well that worked way to well. Blinky light GONE!!!! It was driving me crazy since I recently replaced tires, wheels and sensors and still the damn blinky light would not die.

[@Ryanm229]

Leaf probably came from the cabin air filter. lol thanks great video!

[@bradw3313]

Excellent…..just did mine and directions are spot on.

[@AllenHChang]

FYI, on my 08 sr5 it was the pink/black and red/black, took me a while to figure that out. After you short those wires the light will never turn on.

[@scaley312]

My 2008 has different colored wires and I'm not sure which ones to jump

[@scaley312]

update: pink w/ black strip and black w/ red strip worked

[@kellyklaask7su990]

Mine has been flashing at me for several months now. I refused to spend $$$ to make the sensors work again. Thanks for making this video. I'm going to try that first thing in the morning!

[@vincentthegreat82]

Do a step by step video how to bypass the tpms sensor delete please. Some of us didn't quite catch what you trying to explain

[@S1KRR_Rider88]

So yeah just did this, Was super easy even for me lol, Worked flawless. You can get these at Canadian tire also

[@jimmyb1559]

Thanks for your time. Awesome 4Runner too.

[@nikkasun2894]

Thank you for making a straight to the point video about it! Does it matter what size connector I use? Or do you know what gauge wire it is?

[@CanadianGearhead]

I think as long as the size is close enough it'll work fine

[@bobbypage4854]

Thank you, I did this on my 2004 Toyota 4 runner & the light went out. At tire shop today salesman said it would be around $90 a wheel to replace & fix the TPMS . That’s $360 for all. I’m so happy to not ever have to deal with sensors again. Merry Christmas this is a big deal to me. Again thank you 🙏😊🎄

[@CanadianGearhead]

So glad it helped you, Merry Christmas!!

[@jessemarchand5694]

I have a 2008 V8 Limited and it was the pink/black and black/maroon.

[@CanadianGearhead]

Thank you! Super easy fix!

[@TitanBodybuilding]

Thank you for the video. Yes, this is a super simple fix, but if you don’t know what wires to pair, then who knows how long it’d take me? So glad to have the tpms light off.

What's the wheel setup getting ready to lift mine

[@michaelfrymus]

I'll try this, but I'm wondering if there's a way I can reset the sensor... I got new wheels and the light is flashing for 30 sec and then goes solid. Can I reset the sensor before trying this?

[@thomasbehr9578]

Do you connect them on both sides of the red clip? Or just the white one? Love the videos

[@crazy4maxima]

Ty so much. On my to do list

[@zippy0n942]

Even if the TPMS is still installed in each tire it’s still ok to do this? Plus what exactly does jumping mean? Just connecting the wires together?

[@CanadianGearhead]

Yup, doesn't matter if you have sensors or not. Just connect the 2 wires together

[@zippy0n942]

@@CanadianGearhead Thank you sir.....

[@eg6sivtec]

ok, going outside now to do this! thanks dude!

NB I have an 2008 V8 limited. Wire color were Pink/Black and Black/Red. Found that on web www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/258209-2008-tpms-bypass.html It did the job!

[@jamespeterson7414]

Thank you!!

[@FishHeadsIV]

Is this permanent or can it be reversed if the next owner wants the tpms

[@dlopdx]

What do you mean jump them together ? Does this mean connect those 4 wires together ?

[@EPHONIC]

@Canadian Gearhead : Is the jumper clamp removable if I want to reverse the modification? Let’s say I’d like to use the sensors again at some point.

[@CanadianGearhead]

Yeah you can just take it off

[@rodrigo105]

Hey Gus this don’t work on my 4Runner. Any tips? Please

[@bb5242]

I got up this morning thinking: Man, what my car really needs is more geegaw electronics.

[@notcharles]

Where did you learn which wire was which?

[@joshmorgan4476]

I would like to know where to look as well. I have a 2015 Camry and can't figure it out lol.

[@MrRedSoldier1000]

Thanks

[@Dino-sx9ct]

If you connect those two wires temporarily will it reset the tpms? I really would like to keep my TPMS working so I'm wondering if I can just wire a momentary switch.

[@EnigmaEngineering]

No. If you wire in a toggle switch (single pole single throw), when the switch is closed (on), the TPMS system will be off. When you switch it open (off), the TPMS will be on. You can route the switch up into the glovebox. You can toggle it when the car is running and it still works - but a momentary switch would do nothing here

[@Ran-tj2wy]

Perfect

[@RyanCampagna]

this isn't working on mine for some reason. 2007 V8. tire light is solid, not blinking but it didn't change after the splice. Any thoughts?

[@CanadianGearhead]

That's odd. Are you sure you connected the proper wires?

[@ryancampagna7792]

@@CanadianGearhead I am quite sure. I thought maybe it didn't get through the insulation so I shaved back a little bit and put the splice back on, no go. You leave the plastic connector disconnected after splicing, or do you plug it back in? I tried both ways. Another video suggested a jumper on plug and leaving it undone but I haven't tried that yet

[@snoshorts]

Need to find this fix for a 2017 Tacoma.

[@S1KRR_Rider88]

Doing this today, I got some limited rims from a 5th gen, I don’t do much off road driving and until I can get a lift I like how they look, Especially handles nice in the city and highway. But yesterday I went on a long drive and the light was blinking. Now I’m back home parked by my stock wheels and the light is off. I’m going to assume it will come on again when I go for any period of time so, I’m just gonna do this today and not have a light come on and make my heart sink cause I thought it was a check engine light at first haha 😂

[@drivemyexotic5274]

Wow, your 4Runner is a twin of mine! What exhaust do you have? Seems that my tpms on the spare has gone out so my indicator light just flashes. Too bad I spent money to put new tpms on my new wheel/tire combo. Guess that was unnecessary because I'm not going to bother with the spare! Thanks for the video!

[@CanadianGearhead]

It's a Gibson exhaust

What do you mean by “jump them together”? I have that pesky light on my dash and it’s annoying. Please explain. Thanks.

[@CanadianGearhead]

Connect them

[@Food-is_Life]

Aren’t they both already connected? Sorry to sound like a dummy. Do you cut them and reconnect them? Is it going 2 in 1?

[@CanadianGearhead]

In this case you use a connector to join 2 of the wires to each other while everything remains connected. It might be a good idea to have someone with some automotive experience give you a hand.

[@JonFox1945]

the tpms wire wires are right under the cabin filter, which should explain the leaf.

[@arric14]

Any clue about the grey box. I'm guessing it's 4wd related as I don't have a grey box and I have 2wd.

hey buddy I have a question, I wasnt sure where else to go honestly, like someone that would know for sure, on my 08' 4runner, 135k, yesterday my stock exhaust heat shield fell off, the one literally right above the exhaust, where the back seats are, not the manifold heat shield and I was wondering what I should do. re-bolt the old one or what would I use new?? There is a line of some sort also heat wrapped under there, I just want to make sure my exhaust doesn't overheat anything, you know?

[@CanadianGearhead]

If you can figure out a way to remount it, that's probably your best bet. I'm not sure if the heat shields make that drastic of a difference - I've had them fall off other vehicles before and I just left em. You might be able to order a new one from a parts store if you have to
