Super thankful my VW uses the wheel speed sensors to determine if the tires are low vs TPMS sensors
TPMS is the bane of the auto-mechanic/technician. There could be every freaking light on their dash on, but OH NOES it's the TPMS light is on, how else are they going to know they're driving on 4 flat bald tires? Actually get their fat 4sses up and use a tire gauge? Hell no, stay your fat 4ss in the seat, grab your mcdonalds drive through, then drive up the local tire shop while chomping your mcdouble complaining about your tire light being on with 4 bald tires and 72psi in a 32psi tire. Then you actually suggest you can check them with a tire gauge, and they give you a utter disgust of expecting their fat 4sses to actually get up bend over and amount of physical labor.
Watching your channel learning something new everyday. I had no idea such a tool existed. Gotta get one of those.
I have the TPS601 and it works a mega wonders. Helps me out so much so I can give the tire guys more work if customer approves of the sensor(s). 🤣
I’m not familiar with Toyota’s tpms, but I know that on Ford of the wheel hasn’t been in use (such as on a spare) it won’t show up on that tool. Spare might not be dead. But again, I’m not familiar with Toyota.
Another mandated thing by the government to make the roads more safe. If only people still knew how to drive. If people would be able to feel a tire getting low while driving and be able to check psi regularly they would have never mandated TPMS.
Bias ply tires were easy to feel when they were low on air pressure. Today sensors do help but I’m too cheap to pay for new ones
TPMS are nothing but a pain in the (Insert body part here). I just put a piece of tape over the idiot light and manually check my tire pressure.
Ray, you got a link for that TPMS sensor scanner type dealio?
Just save yourself the money buy a tire pressure gage for $20 It`s a allot accurate than the sensors and allot cheaper
I installed 4 new TPMS myself with a chain vise grip around a 2" steel fence poll, 3' long- 2'x4" and a 6" long 2"x4" In 4 hours I was done. No more TPMS light. I did go out later to get the tires speed balanced to be on the safe side. Everything is good as it should be. Not bad for a 65-year-old-fart first time. lol
This old man learned something new today lol #1 I did not know that their is a tool that check the tire censer #2 I didn't know that the tire censer has a battery's in them so they go died and I'm guessing that you cannot replace the battery's so you have to replace the tire censer.
I had to replace the sensors in my 2006 Jeep Liberty during my 12 years of ownership. I got a crazy quote of $70 X 5 for just the sensors . I bought them on rockauto for $25 each. Had the tire shop install them. They self learned.
Now my Tacoma only has 4 sensors. There is a reset button under the dash for it to relearn. That's a nice tool though to read the sensors. Probably not something worth buying as an owner. I kinda wonder if the premium version of OBD fusion would tell you tpms codes.
N
What happened to the end lol
A very handy tool,thankyou Ray,, have a good weekend👍👍
Tire pressure sensors are required by law in all vehicles (but not trucks and vans) built after 2007. IMHO, they are an expensive waste of time. People ignore the tire indicator on the dash, or just manually check the tire pressures when it comes on, and as Ray pointed out, they are expensive to replace. I had a 2009 Toyota whose sensors died after 2 years. I didn't replace them, just ignored the indicator. Ever since my first car decades ago, I regularly check the tire pressures.
So you need 5 sensors and that will be around $400…Customer Denied… Next!
Pour stuff
Love the content even in short video. 👍👍
Wow.. in one hand it's nice to see a well kept GX. But trying to save a buck can lead to either catastrophic failures or roadway safety issues. For example the drivers side rear tire was the exact definition of flirting with disaster. Alls it would take is a good jagged chuck-hole at the perfect angle or the right amount of tire pressure and excessive roadway temperature to turn that thing into an oversized & overcooked rotating Jiffy-Pop.
I've said it many times and it'll never get old.. "maintenance is key to surviving the idiocracy".
My civic had tpms faults constantly
…turned out the ecu was shot.
Thank you for the video, Ray!
I have to suggest the Customer not pay their mortgage one month"
Wouldn't his receiver show that?
I'm old enough to remember when every car had a tyre pressure gauge in the glove box. TPMS just another step in the deskilling of car operators. (yes I meant operator, not driver)
In some way the old days were better. Just pull into a garage and check the tyres once a week. No all progress is good progress.
I have that same TPMS scan tool. Autel TPMS sensors are fairly inexpensive and easy to program and install
Hello my friend , what brand of break cleaner do you use? Thks
love how "Gubment" forces "innovative" auto "idjut proof safety monitors", like TPMS AND ABS…us over 60, along w/our parents, never had these "shoved down yer throat" features-we just CHECKED tire pressures frequently and KNEW HOW to brake on slippery roads…oh..n' DONT get me started on seat belts n' motorcycle helmets-aint seen 1 VERIFIED instance of lack of seat belt/helmet use hurt or killed anyone except the person that decided not to wear it-LET THOSE WHO RIDE DECIDE…Rant over 😉
I have the same TPMS tool. Works well. Just a suggestion….. you had mentioned in a previous video the cost to replace the TPMS Sensors in a vehicle to be something like $700 or more (I don't recall the exact number, but it wasn't cheap). I was once quoted something like $80 per sensor for my 04 Silverado by Firestone. You can get the Autel MX sensors for like half what the OE sensors cost, and in my experience, they work just as well, if not better. I had a weird issue with my truck where I ordered OE part number sensors, had them installed when I had new tires put on, and NOPE. They were DEAD. Got a replacement set that I tested by pairing them with the truck prior to install, and they paired fine, and as expected, read '–' (or maybe it was 0 psi) in the DIC. Then had them installed and they were dead again. Wouldn't respond to pairing requests, truck wouldn't read them, nothing. No idea. Threw in the towel, ordered some Autel MX sensors, programmed them for my truck, no problems since. And you can keep a dozen or so on hand and they'll work for probably 99% of the vehicles you see. Rather than worry about what sensor is for what vehicle.
Wow, I just had one replaced and it was $125. When did these become necessary? Best Regards Ray. Still wishing you were my mechanic
My 08 Jeep GC has a spare tire sensor.
Looks like a downward shot of a Porsche 928 on your scanning device
Dear Ray, please do a video where you fist fight the snap-on dealer. if he loses then he owes you a free pocket screwdriver
I had people come in all the time complaining about the tire light being on. I take the tool out to trigger them. Sometimes I get 1 or 2 sensors to read out. Plus tells me the battery status. Which the sensors that responded as the battery not being OK. I tell the customer you need 4 new sensors. Once they get the quoted price they refuse to fix it since it was too expensive for them.
Then I had others where the tire light was on. Due to the tire being low on air and was in for a flat repair. Sometimes we get so slammed with work we do not have the time to drive down the street to reset the light. I had customers complain that their light is on still when they go to leave and throw us back the keys. We tell them you need to drive it and it will shut off before you hit the stop light down the street doing over 25 mph. They would refuse to do that simple task themselves trying to find fault on our repair or try to get their $25 back on a flat repair. Or we find they had dead sensors that the batteries have long expired.
You should talk about direct indirect TPMS system maybe your thoughts on which one you like better
So glad my car does not have all this annoying modern electronic crap. What an absolutely dumb law, right along with the backup camera, which is pretty silly for a sedan to be mandated to own one.
🤣
👍
Ray is a chad.
I can't start my day without hearing the shop phone ringing in the background keep up the good work
👍
My opinion best tool , specially since have the 3 options to do TPMS , my best option auto create . Great video 💪🏼
I'm glad I don't have that malarkey..
It’s super easy to replace batteries in TPMS sensors. Just get 5 CR2032 batteries 2 minutes to replace battery. 10 dollars in parts tops. Most of the time is dismounting, remounting and balancing tires. And one happy customer!
TPMS sensors suck.
I ordered one of those it would scan could never get the hyundai to keep tje new ids.. lol i ended having to just replace with used hyundai sensors .. i gave the tpms reader code tool back to Amazon.. cool tool though .. hyundai is fickle system
Toyota TPMS sucks. Did a 2022 highlander sensors won't learn with new sensors and old 2020 sensors. So dumb.
Man. One thing I hated about working for Toyota was these damn tpms sensors
Ray, I have an aftermarket TPS on my 4WD and they use a battery for the connection, how do the factory sensors work, surely they must have a battery in them or are they sealed?
Looks like time for 5 new sensors!
Legislation against laziness. People have stopped checking their own tyre pressures, necessitating TPMS. An expensive impost on the rest of us. Personally, I found tyre gauges and a bit of effort much cheaper and more reliable.
They can get a set of 4 Toyota sensors new on Amazon pretty cheaply, a lot cheaper than at the Toyota dealership.
TPMS sensors: another way to automatically check what drivers should be checking THEMSELVES. My wife's car has them and I won't even look at the dash monitor. I check them myself. Found them to be wrong many times. Glad my old 2005 Silverado doesn't have them. Another expensive items I don't need. Check your tires monthly and your oil every fuel up is how I was taught and will continue.
This is why I like my SAAB 9-3, it just figures out which sensor is where, even with brand new sensors.
Hey, I will tell you everyone that said Oh don't buy your TPMS sensors on Ebay well 2 years no problems my friends 2 years no problems let see $79 a piece or $45 for 4
If you check out who you buy them from on Ebay the risk is lower.
I just bought four sensors from Amazon for $80 for my Pilot. I took the wheels off, marked the tires broke the bead and replaced them myself. They were self learning. I was skeptical, but it worked. I took it down the road and they programmed themselves. The TPMS light went out. They alerted me that my tires were low over the winter too, so they work just like OE.
Is there a sensor in the spare tire?
TPMS is easily the biggest scam by "Big Air" since they started telling people to start breathing. Total ripoff, meant to increase demand of air.
I hate TPMS sensors. Leased a 2011 Outlander Sport (new) and about 3 months in, the right front said it was low. It wasn’t. Right now I’ve got an issue because I ordered rims, tires and TPMS sensors from Tire Rack. The sensors don’t work at all. Went through the whole process of deflating to below 10psi and reinflating to 35psi. In order to do this, I had to buy a Ridgid tire inflator because I have those batteries. That didn’t wake them up, so they send new ones, tell me they’ll reimburse me up to $25 per tire. I go to the installer, $350. No thanks. Tell TR, they “talk” to installer, get back to me 3 weeks later. “We talked to (x) and it’s going to be $85. We’ll reimburse you”. Go to installer, “Your wheels are too big for our machine” 🙄.
So far it’s been about 3 months since I received these wheels and my TPMS light has been on the entire time. All this hassle because guy couldn’t check if the electronic part actually worked before shipping it out. Great QC work. 👍
Those tire pressure sensors are worthless – just check them the old fashion way – to replace them is not cheap or easy
When I bought a 2008 clk350 convertible, it didn't even have sensors in it. I purchased a set on ebay, for less than $50. Put them in and it works great.
Doo de Doo de Doo still scanning 😂
Yeehaw damn good video I just wanna see how he Changes the battery on those sensors I hope that tomorrow’s afternoon sneak peek well I guess I’ll wait till the morning for my good one 40 minute long video or maybe one hour I hope there an hour from this point on that would make my day yes sirree. Well Ray have a good day love your videos love your attitude positive all the time and you and the Mrs. and children have a blessed day God bless y’all and I pray to Jesus Christ to bring you lots of love peace and prosperity he has never let me down the only one true king Jesus Christ our Lord and savior ✝️✝️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠🤠
My wife was just sending me pictures of items on the shelf at Walmart that have more than doubled in price since the last time she bought them. I suggest you buy the TPMS sensors now, regardless of price, because they’ll be more expensive next week.
Thats it, what a rip-off……….
Yeehaw it’s here it’s here it’s here I’m so happy my afternoon sneak a peek preview from my buddy Ray 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠✝️✝️✝️
TPMS and backup cameras should be in every car. Great safety features!
👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Toyota's used a front and rear receiver on a lot of models, which were coded by the 16 digit number on the TPS. If the receiver fails then this may account for 3 TPS's failing at the same time…
My arse or steering tells me when tyre pressures are N.G.
This is a fine example of how technology makes people dumb.
Why did we crash? Might have something to do with that flashy lite thingy on the dash. 🤡
Hi Ray , i also have an Autel Ts508 and i can't figure out how to get a programmable sensor from the leprechaun auto parts store to work with my 2010 Prius. Do you have a video explaining that? I suspect the scanner isn't meant for that but I'm clueless.
$23 per TPMS , pretty good deal right there. Shop… $65 i bet + Labor LOL
Usually 12oz cans are pretty awesome 🍺
That gadget looks purdy fancy…bet check tires on a jet airplane
Why are we doing Monday hangover jobs on a Friday? I think you should make the customer wait all weekend long to get their car back. Just tell the costumer to Uber a ride 2 miles down the road to rent a car for the weekend, and tell them to pick their car up on Tuesday afternoon.
Nothing a little strip of black tape on the gauge cluster can't fix.
I found no shortage of OEM sensors for $20 ea, so I imagine they'll do the swap back home at a local garage.
Cost to benefit… the sensors cost too much.
A $2 tire gauge and check your tires once a month…. or $700 worth of sensors. (and that's just the things in the tires)
And my tire sensors never alarmed even at 20 psi low in one tire. (15 lb in the tire when the rest are at the specified 35 psi for the vehicle) so they do no good.
But some idiots in Washington DC says the dealer can't disable the system… because OEM put it in at the factory.
Just a huge expense and the price is extreme because it is a mandated system. (should be able to make it work for less than $150 for the whole system)
Just bought mine for $65 online and paid $10 each tire to install at my tire shop.
Ray I need more TPMS training…here in the UK tyre pressure is either looks good or shredded, love the vids please do more TPMS vids Thank You XX
Did Rainman answer the shop phone? I didn't hear him do it if he did. Great video.
Now that's a handy dandy tool to check the wheel sensors. Cool video.
"I cant go for that, nooo.. No can do.. but I-Iiii… Owe Mr. Overdrive (me) $400 for EVERYTHING! That you want me too-oooo no I can't go for that, noo.. Semper Fi.."
Wow, Ray! Three videos in a day?
Why don’t you like Hankook tires, Ray?
The Pay More Solution adviser…….TPMS
I have the same tpms tool an hate it other then for fast checks. To program i use my scan tool works better an more sensor options.
3 dead sensors and a microphone
The 2006 Grand Cherokee I used to own had 5 sensors. I discovered this by accident…. I'd had an LPG system fitted and the LPG tank replaced the spare, so I kept the spare in the garden store, about 30 feet from where the car usually parked. It gave a low pressure alert for the spare one day many months after putting it in storage…which I thought was neat! Sure enough, spare was down to about 20psi. Pumped it back up, alert went away.
84th! YIPPIE! BOY HOWDY! GOOD AFTERNOON RAY! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
you can't change the Batteries in those sensors?
That’s a good tool…worth the investment for my two sets of Mercedes rims. Mercedes re-learn is a chore every season 😒. A good reason for me to like my pre-TPMS cars more! Also the Toyota 5 sensor system tripped up my dad for weeks on parents’ Avalon until he remembered the spare sensor!
With Lexus, all 5 sensors must be working or the warning light will illuminate.
Let me guess…..DECLINED!?
Use 5 aftermarket ones can do all 5 for $120
Stupid system that fails when batteries run out. My car instead monitors the rotation speed of each wheel. When 1 wheel rotates at a different speed to the others it gives you a low lite pressure warning. Next you set all tires to the correct presure and after that you reset the warning. No batteries involved and no sensors inside the tyre.
I have that same tool it came in very handy although it will only program Autel MX Sensors which is what I put in all my tires. I did save the old sensors because I found out you can unpot the batteries and replace them then you have to repot the sensors. Not sure it's something I will do down the road since it could be penny wise and dollar foolish but if you find yourself unable to acquire new sensors it's an option. Yea batteries die and I had one sensor with a bad battery but after changing them out I also had to buy a new module and locating that bastard was a PITA as there was very little information on its location which I found behind my radio which I was changing out at the time, so it worked out in the end. Even with a working TPMS I still check my tire pressure at least once every two weeks. Cool thing about my car is it has an auto relearn function so once the sensors were programmed, installed and the module changed out it set itself up, but I also used the same ID Numbers for each sensor.
Thx Ray!
Dude! You actually gave me an idea about trouble shooting a purge solenoid! Turns out I have a slow leak and ordered a new one!
