@@jimthecarguy Hello, I’ve been having this issue for two weeks now. I have brought my car to the shop fourtimes. They have changed the sensor and reinitialized it and the light goes off. This has happened four different times and I saw the readings on the tires myself. The next day, the TMPS light comes on and blinks then goes solid. II do not have a spare in my trunk so it cannot be that. Is it an issue with the cars computer? Can you provide any answers to this please? I have looked everywhere online and I cannot find any answers to this. I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra.

I went back, & they said my wheel NEVER had a sensor fitted! I said, well how come the TPMS light was off until I left here? They took the tyre off: and said "Look, there should be a metallic tape here... ....It never had one." !!! After watching this video, I now know that is a complete & utter lie. Bullshit.

If the government wants to mandate these things they should also mandate a reasonable cost for them. I recently bought my first car with TPMS (my treasured 2004 Honda got totaled). I then purchased a second set of wheels and winter tires. When they told me how much it would cost for TPMS to be installed and programmed in the winter wheels I was shocked! Almost doubling the price of the wheels! Not a chance! I asked several friends who swap out wheels for winter, and not one has had sensors installed in their winter wheels. What good is a safety feature that is inoperative 5 months out of the year?

Tire sensors on Amazon $15-$30. Most tire stores will break the bead and install the new sensor for $10 (Tire Kingdom here in Florida). Programming a new sensor is easy, either by cloning, which was shown here, or relearning, which the vehicle relearns the new sensors which would be faster. An easier tool to use is the Autel TS508 or 408. Some auto parts stores will rent the tool or let you use it for free. Also note there are two types of TPMS systems. Those that have sensors in the wheels are called “direct” TPMS. And vehicles that do not have sensors in the wheels are called “indirect” TPMS, like the newer Honda Accord. It uses the ABS system to calculate tire pressure.

My 2013 T&C has a TPMS light on. I have checked and corrected the tire pressures on all 4 tires, but it will not reset. The van is going on 8 years old (I bought it new) and I suspect the battery in at least one sensor is dead. I have had a slow leak in one tire that I have not addressed and I suspect that has stressed an already 8 year old battery and brought it to the end of its life. I have investigated the cost of replacement of the sensor (approx. $60 for the sensor) and the tire shop will need to be paid to diagnose and replace it (including reprogramming). Even after the failed sensor has been replaced, that leaves 3 other sensors that are near the end of their battery life. With all this in mind, I am going to place a piece of black electrical tape over the TPSM warning light and be on my way. I have been driving for 60 years without a TPSM warning light and I believe I can continue without one. Features like this are great for the first owner, but a costly nuisance for later owners. PS: I will repair the slow leak.

On my 2012 Jaguar XF Supercharged V8 Portfolio Edition I had a constant TPMS Failure. Not just a tire but a system failure. I took the car to a tire shop and he checked that all the sensors worked. After that you can reset the system. Do a Hard Reset of the vehicle. Disconnect both battery cables. Either let it sit for a few hours or touch the neg and pos cables together. Check the tire pressure in all the tires. Reconnect the battery. Then drive the car for 15 minutes above 30 mph. Park the car for 15 minutes shut down. Then drive the car as usual and the system should reset. Your also going to have to reset the memory for the seats, windows, locking etc. It's all in the owners manual. For this to work all sensors must be good. Worked for me, hope this helps.

Thanks for the excellent detailed video Jim. I'll just put a piece of electrical tape over that idiot light. The tires are only 10 years old with 15,000 miles on them. My father used to tell me, "no need to get new tires until you can see the steel belt." He died a millionaire. Left me a freaking 30-30 Winchester. Thanks dad. Now I can go buy a tire.

Yes I used to wear the tires pretty thin but when I started commuting more on the highway I'd replace the tires a little earlier

Never fired a 30-30 but love lever action rifles I guess you wear your ear plugs when you fire it?

My tires are good. Sensors bad. Put black tape over warning light and get down the road.

Exactly. It’s hundreds of dollars to change all four (you buy OEM and not aftermarket). Just have a quality tire pressure gauge and check them weekly (like I do). I always forget pressure on the one in the trunk. Also, the spare tire for a CR-V is only a temp on to get to a tire shop to either repair o replace the tire.

What if you're on a road trip and you blow a tire because you don't know if you actually have a issue with a tire or not?

Jackie Freeman how did you think electronic suppose to works without battery?
@mousetowndude6 жыл бұрын
@@derpherpp Many electronic systems use sensors that do not contain batteries. They're referred to as RF tags. One example is the chips they implant into pets to identify them. Another is the anti-theft devices you see on some store purchase items. They get their energy from the electromagnetic field being radiated by the transmitter the vet uses or, in the case of the stores, located at the exit doors. It's a shame that auto manufacturers can't make use of that sort of technology for the TPMS sensors.

It's magic, Centrifugal force is movement that creates heat, the heat creates a current and the current produces electricity that powers the sensor. Simple ?

@@mousetowndude A radio-frequency identification system uses tags, or labels attached to the objects to be identified. Two-way radio transmitter-receivers called interrogators or readers send a signal to the tag and read its response. RFID tags can be either passive, active or battery-assisted passive. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_identification

Hi Jim - Good repair - Starting in what years did they start to install tire senors Suppose a person wants a tire rotation will that hand held device show what tire sensor goes on what side of the car ?

Jim talks about the battery going bad. if its a dry cell battery, that'd be pretty severe, as he's expecting it back for one of the other 3 tire sensors
