Perfect example of needless technology in modern vehicles that is destined to fail. Not blaming Toyota, just the engineering and all the 'monitoring' systems in modern cars that are over engineered. A $10 tire pressure gauge and 2 min of time per week and you have a responsible human monitoring system. Has anyone ever priced what a dealer charges to repair this type of failure?

Sadly, not all people will do this. After that Ford fiasco is running tires 🛞 n low pressure to increase the ride performance and the lawsuits that followed, many manufacturers chose to install these devices to ensure people would check their tire pressure. Too much contact surface of a tire can cause it to self destruct and cause unnecessary tire failures and accidents.

'Slime' tire pressure guage = $6 (No battery, so it lasts decades & is very accurate). A small piece of black electrical tape to cover the distracting blinking light = $0.01 Problem solved until the vehicle gets recycled. And you can run your tires a bit low if you want, so it rides smoother. The pressure on the door is for a fully loaded vehicle with luggage in the trunk, or a fully loaded truck or SUV. If you drive alone in an empty pickup, or car, you can reduce the tire pressure down to 28 psi, from the maximum 35 psi written on the door, and the vehicle will ride much nicer. Just don't run the tires at like, 20 psi, because they could overheat in the summer from too much flexing. And potholes could damage the rim if the tire is severely underinflated. Harder tires will transmit more motion and impact forces to the suspension system. So it will wear out faster.

Hi Peter Thanks for the video. I have a 2008 Sienna and a 2011 Venza. Both cars have TPMS sensors in all wheels. Living in Canada I have snow tires. I bought rims for the snow tires and Sensors. Luckily I’m mechanically minded, so I bought a TPMS reader and programming tool. It’s a bit of a hassle but changing my tires twice a year keeps me connected to my vehicles. The flashing light on the dash would drive me crazy and couldn’t just put tape over it. Over ten years later both cars run great the TPMS have come on a few times. Punctures etc. Keep up the great work and good luck finding a new shop

A completely unnecessary system, easily done manually.

You should have checked tire pressure before even dropping car from hoist. When I started automotive repair I was a gas jockey and would check your tires on demand or would recommend it if I thought one was low. I would check for anything stuck in a tire to figure out why it was low. Those days are gone but not forgotten. There is an inexpensive instrument you can get to check battery levels of the sensors. The sensors report to a receiver that is connected to the ECU. Spend some money and get the tech stream hand held computer. My son's friend has one and I saw how he could pull up my wiring diagram. He could touch a actuator to activate it. He would just go through them till one didn't click (actuate) meaning the sensor was bad. Even my locksmith has one of these machines. I would like to see you take the next step. My 2008 5.7 Tundra has the same problem. Pretty sure it was 2007 or 08 car manufactures had to install TPM systems or they couldn't sell the vehicle here. Well the 1st gen TPM sensor systems sucked. All my sensors were showing good batteries at that time years ago when I had this problem. That would point to the receiver which cost mega bucks just for the part. Well since I had no problem with the first truck I owned a 1955 Chevy and survived a couple blow outs I opted to "Forget About it" But I can't. It bugs me sometimes. I also read and could be true that the sensor's fail loosing connection to the receiver or from the receiver to the ECU if the car just sits. Well, my Tundra is lucky to get 2000 miles a year on it.
@LAactor2 жыл бұрын
A lot of things you mentioned only a few things not correct or perfectly accurate. Techstream is the Toyota programming software for the dealer and costs thousands and also requires a monthly or annual subscription which is not cheap. With the handheld it is another brand. Maybe you can check of you ever see them again as I'd like to know as well. There are many companies that make different devices. The touch actuation is actually another OEM. I believe it's GM or something that does that. Also handheld device. Finally you are correct about the sensors going to sleep after a while. They should wake when you start driving again however there is a TSB out that says deflate tire rapidly at least 9 psi in 30 seconds to wake the sensor again. Reinflate to spec pressure before driving off. And that's only partially all I can remember of your comment. Bravo to the olden days of gas jocks.
@Esteban_Herrera2 жыл бұрын
@@LAactor If Techstream is thousands of dollars then that is just an expense a business must endure. Techstream cost isn't thousands of dollars. I have a PC version which was a free download. I was going to use an old laptop to run it. I needed the VCI J2534 cable to connect the laptop to the OBD port. This cable is 60 bucks on Amazon. I needed to get a FOB programmed for my 2008 Tundra. I had to use Techstream. I wouldn't of needed it on a 2007 or a 2009 and up. 2008 was a bastard year. You know how you have to do the programming ritual by opening and closing the door within a given time? Don't work on a 2008 Tundra. Anyways I found a locksmith that had the machine and charged, if I can remember right, like $10 to program the FOB. I gave my son my IS300. after awhile an actuator went bad. His friend a mechanic, which I have known since he was in Jr High came by, connected his machine and tapped each actuator on his touch screen causing the actuators to actuate. One of the actuators didn't respond. They replaced that actuator and the problem was gone. Total thanks on the TPM sensors. You know I had the problem just having my old sensors removed and installed in late model "Take-Off" wheels and tires. I thought the guy damaged one. He couldn't find any problem with them. The Guy at Pep Boys spent some time with them too. It is well documented that the first gen TPMs system was problematic. Been looking at late model receivers to see if they will communicate with the ECU. I gave up when I saw what they are asking. My sensors might be bad since they are now15+ years old. Would I like to get the TPM system working? Hell Ya. I'm a firm believer in safety.

As others have already said, the need for such a system is questionable at best. Unfortunately, drivers are so dumbed-down these days that the very notion of applying a tire pressure gauge to a valve stem and reading the results is enough to trigger panic, tachycardia, a 9-1-1 call, and a trip to the E.R. So pathetic...
