DIY: How to replace a Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor (TPMS) step by step.

This is how I replaced the Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors (TPMS) on my vehicle. I got the 4 sensors online for a little more than the cost of one sensor from the garage where I bought my new tires (I got a good price for the tires). Besides the cost of the sensors the garage also wanted to charge for calibration of the new sensors which they wanted to sell me. I estimate that I saved a few hundred dollars by changing the sensors myself. I knew that one of my sensors wasn't working and I needed new tires so I changed all of the sensors before they installed to new tires.

Very well done. You are a pro, no dogs or country music in the background just nice precise and informative talk.

Thanks. I am not very “entertaining” but I try to share methods that work for me. Sometimes I am probably too detailed which makes my videos longer than most people want to watch. My wood fired pizza oven build definitely falls into that category. 😁

Thank you for sharing this video. Well done. May I point out the tire is on its last leg, it has severe dry cracks everywhere. I found that using a spray bottle and mixing water and little dishsoap (as you mentioned) and spaying some around the edge of the tire makes breaking the bead much easier. Last... I know I WILL drop the screw the screwdriver bit and the magnet inside the tire for sure.

Very good video and like your mcguyver approach. I wonder what your thoughts on the real value of a tpms system overall. Everybody got by without them for decades if you regularly checked tire pressure. I just got a new vehicle and bought winters (with rims) but no sensors. The thought of adding these and the hassle when the batteries die (i assume) seems not worth it. I would prefer to disable the tpms alert and just manually check tires like i always did. your thoughts?

I can see value in TPMS sensors for people that do not regularly check tire pressure (which they should do), and for aluminum rims. Corrosion can build up in aluminum rims, especially in areas that use salts on the roads in winter. The corrosion cause leaks and if you are not checking your tire pressure regularly the TPMS can warn you that something is wrong before it gets too serious. The corrosion problem is not as prevalent with steel rims. I have to admit that I do see TPMS warnings where I live, but it typically relates to large swings in temperature. I could put in the recommended pressure one day when the temperature is +5°C and the next day the temperature could drop to -20°C. I tend to put in a couple of extra pounds more than the “vehicles recommended pressure” in the winter just to compensate a bit for temperature changes. Investing in a good pressure gauge has value. As for the battery life my sensors lasted more than a decade before I had any issues.

Thanks for the video! Debating about doing it myself vs. a shop. Just got new tires on my 10 year old car. 1 of the sensors is bad now (the batteries were near end of life anyway? And with the tires off, the sensors are sending low pressure alert and run down the battery?) So I don't want to mess up the new tires. But also.... programming? my 2013 honda civic doesn't have TPMS items in the software menus on the dash. And no TPMS button on the lower dash (as some people have said that model does). Costco, who put on the new tires got a gadget and 'talked to each of the sensors to reprogram things? they could talk to 3 of the sensors. 1 didn't talk (damaged during install? Or as a fan of costco, I'd say the battery died). for DIY, it seems risky that you'd get the correct low cost sensor for your car, then have the equipment to do the reading of the sensor and programming of the car?

I would probably get on a Honda forum and ask for their advice regarding battery life and recoding. Before I changed my sensor I looked into the details before I got started and I also looked at reviews of the sensors. The sensors for my vehicle were pretty straight forward.
