@@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.

Most of the time sensors are the problem not the tires this is another brilliant way of thinking by the car manufacturer on how to squeeze more money from you and of course the mechanics loves this idea. From adding air to spending hundred of dollars. Is this what we called advance technology?

Very well explained. My TPMS light came on yesterday in my 2008 Honda Element would not have thought it was that entailed. I checked the air in all four tires for the light to go off. But learning from your vid the sensor could very well be going out. Thank You!

[@kiddor909gmail]

We drove on our Toyota Tundra with this horseshoe symbol on for about 6 days as it turned out there was a nail in one of the tires. So thank God we were safe. But I have the same problem with my Honda Accord if the light goes on it's difficult to get it to turn off. The symbol on your dashboard often means the center has gone out and it's too expensive to replace it. So I just checked my pressure of my tires every so often

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. I am never going back to that shop. And none of my friends will either. Jeeze..... You pay top dollar for decent tyres and get this kind of service.

NTB wanted $250/tire for 3 sensors. More than the 4 Michelins on the car. I have been driving 55 years and this is the 1st I've heard of Tire sensor. This is another item to brake for dealer profits. I kept on driving and within 1K miles the lights went out. As my father told me, "don't fix it right away, It'll correct itself or stop on side of the road." good advise in my humble opinion.

[@jjnejones9691]

As a mechanic I fully agree. Just another thing to charge the unknowing customer for. Like nitrogen in tires, nitrogen in tires is only beneficial for aircraft and race cars (any tire traveling 200mph or more) yet they still think it's needed in the average drivers car lol

I bought sensors on eBay (4 for $43, not $43 dollars each) and they were installed and programmed by Discount Tire. I only paid for the tires. Thanks….Jim

[@CapnSlappypants]

Wow. You got a sweet deal. My sensor(s) went bad a couple years ago. I was researching local replacement and installation and the sensor replacements alone were in the hundreds. I just said "forget it" and simply check my tire pressure every few weeks.

[@alansach8437]

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?

[@idakilliebrew5515]

[@rogerf3622]

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.

[@awongutume]

Great info that it can be replaced and relearned without any reprogramming.

[@larrywoessner5756]

You gotta check the air in the spare also. My spare has gone low before and triggered the dash light.

[@davidrobinson7064]

Check the spare. Brilliant! That's the type of problem that would drive us shade tree types crazy. Great instruction.

[@jacksplace]

very Informative Jim seeing as they never put them in the new winter wheels I guess now its time for electrical tape over the idiot light

[@patagualianmostly7437]

Jacksplace: I agree with your sentiment: "Idiot light" ... more to go wrong etc. But when said light is not "ON" when you replace tyres...WTF should you accept it being "ON" after paying damn good money for replacing tyres? Huh?

[@johnnyc.8256]

Before you go to all of this trouble, you should add the correct amount of air to all 4 tires plus the spare tire in the trunk, then drive for 20 minutes and the light should go off, just remember to check the spare tire and add air if needed, bc the spare tire has a sensor inside of it also. Most people forget to check and add air to the spare.

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.

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.

I agree with you James. These sensor are a waste of money. Just another maintenance idem that needs to be serviced. Every driver should know how to check their own air pressure . As it was years ago. Thank you for your input and for watching.

[@mousetowndude]

@@jimthecarguy In that case, you can either buy an OEM sensor or get an aftermarket one that fits the vehicle and you won't have to program it, so you won't need that number. Since you're using blank "clonable" units that can be programmed to fit various models, you have to have the information in order to clone the new unit.

Jackie Freeman how did you think electronic suppose to works without battery?

[@mousetowndude]

@@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

@@jumpercable20 "Centrifugal force is movement" Nope CF is NOT 'movement.' Neither does CF 'create heat;' nor does 'heat create current;' and 'current produces electricity' is als false.

A light that says *Your TPMS light is dead* Time to replace the led in order to see if your TPMS is in good condition. Lol

More digital crap to go wrong. A $65 part plus labor? No wonder people are buying fewer new cars.

The TMPS light will go off. If you disconnect the battery cables from positive and put back on. The light will go off as hell

What does one of those TPS programmers cost? Are there specific programmers for any specific sensor/car make?

[@ParthaDass]

Thank you, @Jimthecarguy. This video is very informative and very helpful. I now know what I need to do when I take the car to my mechanic.

[@jumpercable20]

Low tire pressure warning sensors are made for the people that didn't know that engines have oil in them, and most of the time they are driving with a low or flat tire because they don't have the sense to walk around their car once in a while and see if the tires are under inflated or still on the vehicle. Just another useless gimmick designed to fail and make the repair shops more $$$.

[@jimthecarguy]

Thank you for watching.

[@unclefreddieDied]

@@jimthecarguy hi Jim...can this repair be done if I don't have that scanner/reprogrammer? Can the car relearn it or will it not recognize it at all? (2011 Hyundai Elantra)

[@jumpercable20]

I learned from a officer a long time ago. everytime you operate a motor vehicle, It only takes seconds to do a walk around. That way you dont have to worry about someone else letting you know you have a light out. I was an aircraft crew chief in the service. I learned the importance of a preflight inspection.
