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.
