[@fett327]

For those of you wondering why anyone would go thru the hassle of changing the battery... the problem is with some makes/models (Toyota in particular), buying new means having to reprogram the new TPMS codes to the car computer. They wont just relearn the new ones. You cant do the programming without specialized tools, thus costing you money buying them or paying someone to do it. THATs why changing the battery on the existing sensor is useful for some.

[@JohnSmith-pk4xy]

Yes thats the biggest problem that'll cost $300 or more just to change them at the dealer. Money grab.

Update: I saw one fellow use a shop vac hooked to some 3/8" vinyl tubing with a funnel and then pushed the other end of the tubing on the tire stem with the valve removed, after 6 minutes of suction it deflated the tire enough for him to push the tire off the bead and replace the TPMS without removing the tire from the car.

I just bought four new sensors off Ebay, not the first time I've done it with other cars. $21 including shipping/tax for all four. Bought a "relearn" tool for $8. This battery replacement thing is a waste of time, an absolute waste of time. Installed the new sensors, put the 2015 Chevy Equinox into learn mode, started at the left front and took all of about a minute. WHY would you be going to a shop for all this. Where I live, shops charge 20-25 bucks for a mount and balance. It should n't cost any more than that to put the new sensor in.

good job on this hack. just a tip: when you heat the solder, you can just heat the metal tab, and it will heat up the solder, so your not trying to heat in between both parts. The heat will transfer and liquefy the solder and just hold it down with the pick to smash the solder.

[@jimpie231]

Replace sensors when you replace tires. I lost a sensor at 9 years, tires were almost replaceable. Next year I replaced tires and sensors. I did this at Discount tire, they wanted $50 for each sensor. I bought my own and they didn’t charge me for anything but the tires. However, get a quote from them. My car is a 2009 Honda Crv, 5 years later and TMPS is still working and I’m going to be changing tires, but I won’t replace sensors till they start getting closer to 10 years old. I bought the sensors on ebay, $44 for 4. Do not buy used or refurbished, newest sensors are rubber stems, older are mostly metal, like shown in this video. Once you’ve research this, you’ll understand the differences. Dealers charge way too much for this service. PS: I bought a new set of rims and tires on line (better price, special tires), had them installed at Discount tire, they charged me $20 per tire. That was $80 for installation (including balancing), installing my TMPS sensors (which I bought on line), and programming them. They had a little bit of problem programming these (2020 Subaru WRX), because it was so new, but they did it. It took an extra 10 minutes, but they didn’t give up. The system worked perfectly.

[@scotttex1054]

I did a battery replacement on one TPMS sensor for my 2007 Lexus ES350. All four wheels had REDI-sensor VDO SE10002A model sensors. It all went well but after driving 800 miles nothing changed and my orange TPMS warning light remained. I was able to take it to Pep Boys and asked a mechanic to try and "trigger" the failed sensor by holding it up his expensive Ateq VT56 scanner ($850) to the sidewall adjacent to the valve stem.. It took what seemed like a long time (20 seconds} but his Ateq VT56 scanner finally triggered the repaired sensor to turn on, according to his scanner. My light stayed on until I drove 1 mile away from the shop and I guess the signal was detected by my Lexus and turned off! When I got home, I used my XTOOL D8BT to analyze all the sensors and the repaired sensor was now reading correct psi, temperature, ID number, and battery status where it had failed for the one month since I installed the new battery. So my advice is to understand that there are a lot of similar sounding terms out there in these videos. I think words like trigger and activation are the same, but learn, re-learn, and reset are not the same as triggered which is what the owners manual for the REDI-sensor stated what must be done when new. Because the voltage on the bad sensor was reading only 2.8V (battery says 3V) and was probably much lower this past winter during 11 deg F temps, I believe my sensor turned off completely and needed to be "triggered". My XTOOL D8BT could not do that. Only a TPMS designated scan tool worked. I also believe that the Redi-sensor TPMS sensors on my Lexus are not OEM and installed before I bought the car in 2022.

[@Btu555]

just curious, the light was on when you bought the car because they didn't do the relearn so even replacing the battery the light is still on?

[@OldSloGuy]

Don't ask your tire guy to help you with any of this! The insurance company would have kittens if they found out. However, you can also invest in some harbor freight tire tools and still be money ahead. If you don't have room to store them after you are finished, sell them. Its not as quick and easy as writing the big check to the tire guy, but its an adventure. Any trip to the emergency room will wipe out any savings, so be sure you understand what is happening when you break the bead.

You can also get the batteries from Arrow Electronics. Got 4 for $16 including shipping and tax. Update: got the batteries but their stock was very old. Voltages were .75, 1.24, 1.54, 2.24 and 3.44. They refunded the money. All the other places I checked had 20 week leadway etc. I ordered plane non tab batteries and will spot weld my own tabs. UPDATE: 4 months and all are working great. One tip I have, that makes soldering easier. I bent the bottom battery tab and bottom tab from sensor up so they both were pointed straight up. Placed a small piece of material between the battery tab and the battery. Done so the tab would not short out the battery. Made soldering much easier and the silicone covered it all up.

@@mycarsr This is somewhat motivating me to get or make a battery tab welder so to use the more cost effective regular 2450's without the tabs. I noted in another comment about testing the welder settings on the dead batteries or maybe a sacrificial tested battery to verify no change in observable performance, albeit capacity might be a little more risky to test so to not wear the battery out I'm thinking at least offhand. Maybe some precision resistors might boost my confidence.

[@mariodiy4517]

That's a great fix for this style of sensor. Unfortunately mine is no longer sending a signal even though the battery shows it's ok by my scanner. I own a Honda, I wonder if this method would work. Unfortunately I just had two replaced by my local shop for $10 each. I supplied the sensors. I bought the Autel MX for $55+tax (pack of 2) from Amazon. Working so far. I didn't ask for my old ones back. It would have been nice to recondition my OE ones as a weekend project.

I was thinking about that. I can get a set of four for $150. Minus the cost of the new batteries = $134 saved. So if they last ten years that's $13.40 per year. Not sure it's worth it... Then again they could last for 15 years = $9 a year. But that depends on what the cost for sensors vs batteries will be ten to fifteen years from now.

I was waiting for that car jack to accidently fall and break your hands off

How do you find which battery is dead ?

The Lexus show psi each wheel on dash. If 3 show and 1 doesn’t. That’s the 1. If you don’t have psi show. Buy Autel scanner

Can I use RTV silicone. They use it for gaskets so I know its good for high Temps.

Never ever ever cut with ur hand or body in the path of a blade that may slip! Use the iron to take it out. Other than that, good video...thanks

[@ericastanton2010]

after replacing battery, will your car recognize the TPMS or does it need to be reprogrammed to a TPMS MACHINE SCANNER

[@bobthepromoter]

the car will recognize the sensor after you change the battery, thats the whole thing is that you don't need to re program everything after changing the battery as you would if changing the whole sensor
