How To Replace TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Sensors Without A Tire Machine.
Рет қаралды 4,656,973
3 жыл бұрынToday I'm going to show you how to Replace TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors at home without a tire machine. Over time the TPMS sensors can go bad or the batteries can go dead. I'm going to show you how to replace them at home without going to a tire store. The way that I change the TPMS sensors is I use the emergincy jack or a bottle jack to break the bead on the tire to gain access to the TPMS sensor. Once the tire is loose on the rim you can reach inside the wheel and remove the sensors. I will also show you the basics of programming your new sensors so you will not have any TPMS fault lights on your dash.

Thank you for providing the tools you used. But my question is, can you program the tpms sensors without the tpms programming device? Some use the unlock/lock button by pressing them causing a honk and all lights to be on then they go off as you deflate partially each tire until the light turns off on that side. Then you move to the next etc. When all lights are off it is followed by double honk indicating it is calibrated. I want to replace mine but if the only way to reprogram the sensors is with the tool that is $200+ i might take to the shop. Thanks

An additional tip... If you can't get the bead to seat, you can wrap the circumference of tire with a rachet strap and tighten it to cause the bead of the tire to spread outward against the rim. It is almost a necessity with small tires like on lawn mowers.

Mark your wheel and tire and any balance weights, so that if the tire moves, you can reorient it in the correct spot. If the tire is too stiff to seat the bead easily, a ratchet strap tightened around the tread should push the beads apart enough to help it seat.

Thank you for creating this video, I was about to order four new TPMS sensors for my 2014 Ridgeline and decided to check with Costco Tire to see if they would perform a TPMS test to see what sensors were having the issue on my truck, 3 of the 4 sensors had weak batteries. I asked the Costco Tech if they replace TPMS sensors if the tires were not purchased at Costco, as it turns out they do at a cost of $45 per sensor which also included a free rebalance. Needless to say at that cost I had all four replaced at Costco. As a side note they installed DILL REDI-SENSOR 7002A on my 2014 Ridgeline. Thanks again for the informative video. Eric

@@AmbientShades there’s always a way to beat those government tests! Once I had a Toyota that had a cluster of vacuum hoses and one of the hoses was cut off and plugged with a screw. They seen that short vacuum hose and wouldn’t pass me. Went everywhere trying to find out where the hose was supposed to connect to and no one knew? I finally just put on a long vacuum hose and ran it way back behind the engine not connected to anything. Went right through their test then. Had another Toyota truck that the air pump on the engine wasn’t working right. Bought a new one that also stopped working a week later and I wasn’t going to spend another $400.00 for another new one. Went to a wrecking yard and got a used one. Unfortunately I cracked the housing installing it. So it wasn’t working right either, but least the pulley was still spinning where the other two pulley froze up. Since the pulley was still spinning it passed with flying colors anyway! Kind of frustrating when you pass the smog test but they fail you anyway when they see something they don’t want to see! If you pass you should pass regardless in my opinion! But I’m a rebel! LOL

He said the the sidewall had worn out but more interestingly the pressure sensor looked torn up. I had no idea that it communicated with the computer by RF (well of course it would have to). I didn't know about beads, tools to remove the valve core, or programming the computer to work with the new sensor. Or that trick with the scissor jack. Just the best video ever for learning!

Good job on the video. My 2003 Corvette has a procedure for re-learning the sensors. After putting the car in learning mode, you simply take a magnet and hold it near the valve stem of each tire. You go clockwise around the car beginning with the left front tire. After a few seconds, while holding the magnet near the valve stem, the car will chirp the horn. After doing all 4 tires, the horn does a double chirp indicating the procedure is done. I had to pay Costco $59 for each sensor. They would not install the sensors I bought from Amazon.

Use a second board on the other side of the wheel to keep the tire from lifting or flipping up when using the jack. You are already there...rotate the wheel a little bit and use the jack to hold the tire down while you work on the valve stem. Tie a string to the sensor on the inside so if it drops, it is easy to get out. I learned that one the hard way. Thanks for the information.

Great video. Another option for breaking a stubborn bead is to use a second car/truck to drive over the edge of the tire. Maybe not a good idea on a low profile tire but it worked for me back in the day time and time again.

Easier way.......2009 Honda CRV ......At 108,000 miles lost one TPMS sensor, just about needed tires. Waited 9 months, bought new sensors on ebay ($43 for 4, same as the original Honda ones) and new tires at Discount tire. Asked them to install, they did Installations and programming at no additional cost. Also got a great deal on the tires. Thanks....Jim

only problem is is many shops & Garages are getting so they will not go that route and tell you they will refuse the job unless you buy your parts through them,. This is for 2 reason .... 1 > They lose money on their 20% - 30% mark up, on the parts, and the bigger one ... 2> Liability & insurance purposes, You see ..they know legally if there is an accident ,. they can be held liable for installing a faulty part on your vehicle regardless if you bought it or they supplied it,. for that reason, Many Garages / Tire shops tend to stick with buying parts through a Store or vender they trust and knows sells them good quality parts compared to a customer bringing in their own parts that they bought from who knows where, and could be super cheap junk , Once in a while you may find a shop or Garage that will allow it , but as a general rule of thumb many will not / no longer allow Customers to ""buy their own parts"" & bring in for installation , to them it is just not worth the risk in a sue happy world like we have today

I think that also it would be a great idea to take down the number on the sensor in case your car needs it to reprogram the sensor. Another thing is about tire rebalancing unless the tire is awful then rebalancing isn't needed, at least in my experience it has been that way

Just bought the 508 from Autel. I'm going with their sensors. I fortunately have a tire guy nearby that I'm cool with to break the bead. I have a few vehicles that have tmps sensors and once they go bad, I can replace. Use dish soap with water instead of WD40 to seat bead. Other than that, this was a straightforward video, thanks.

Nice! If I ever run into TPMS sensor issues, I will most likely DIY like this, then take the old one out and replace the battery. That way I will not only save the cost of buying a new sensor, which is about CAD$60 now, but also the trouble of rebalancing of the wheel or reprogramming the vehicle computer to match the new sensor.

It was Firestone that was found at fault for defective tires. Any vehicle can flip under the right conditions (had a friend flip a Porsche once), but SUV's are more prone to it because they are already top-heavy. Add low tire pressure on bad tires, overloaded vehicles (super common), excessive speed, emergency braking and steering maneuvers that result in the vehicle going off the pavement, and then the rims catch the dirt or a curb - Boom. Ford caught a lot of the heat because the Explorer was so popular/numerous, and running defective tires, and the media couldn't help but dogpile on Ford every time. They tried to make it seem like these things just flipped over sitting at a stoplight. Firestone tried to save its own ass by throwing Ford into the fire, and when they were found at fault, Ford axed their 100-year-old partnership. Ford still stepped up, redesigned their SUV's to be safer, and yes TPMS sensors, electronic stability control and wider axles were all introduced.
