      @@jimthecarguy Hello,
      I’ve been having this issue for two weeks now. I have brought my car to the shop fourtimes. They have changed the sensor and reinitialized it and the light goes off. This has happened four different times and I saw the readings on the tires myself. The next day, the TMPS light comes on and blinks then goes solid. II do not have a spare in my trunk so it cannot be that. Is it an issue with the cars computer? Can you provide any answers to this please?
      I have looked everywhere online and I cannot find any answers to this. I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra.

    Very well explained. My TPMS light came on yesterday in my 2008 Honda Element would not have thought it was that entailed. I checked the air in all four tires for the light to go off. But learning from your vid the sensor could very well be going out. Thank You!

    • @kiddor909gmail
      @kiddor909gmail ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We drove on our Toyota Tundra with this horseshoe symbol on for about 6 days as it turned out there was a nail in one of the tires. So thank God we were safe. But I have the same problem with my Honda Accord if the light goes on it's difficult to get it to turn off. The symbol on your dashboard often means the center has gone out and it's too expensive to replace it. So I just checked my pressure of my tires every so often

      I agree.... Well explained & cleared lot of questions I had regarding these TPMS.
      A question though:
      I replaced two tires the other day.... Up came the TPMS light.....
      I went back, & they said my wheel NEVER had a sensor fitted!
      I said, well how come the TPMS light was off until I left here?
      They took the tyre off: and said "Look, there should be a metallic tape here...
      ....It never had one." !!!
      After watching this video, I now know that is a complete & utter lie. Bullshit.
      I am never going back to that shop. And none of my friends will either.
      Jeeze..... You pay top dollar for decent tyres and get this kind of service.

    Jim, your video is so far the best I have come across. Full of step-by-step details and very clear explanations. I am just curious if any thing bad will happen to the vehicle if the under-inflation signal sign remains on even after the tires are properly inflated and if the malfunctioning sensor is not replaced. Does State Vehicle Safety Inspection Law requires the bad sensor to be replaced? I live in Collin County, Texas, which requires an annual safety inspection and emission test. I drive a 2006 Corolla. Thank you for your excellent presentation.

    NTB wanted $250/tire for 3 sensors. More than the 4 Michelins on the car. I have been driving 55 years and this is the 1st I've heard of Tire sensor. This is another item to brake for dealer profits. I kept on driving and within 1K miles the lights went out. As my father told me, "don't fix it right away, It'll correct itself or stop on side of the road." good advise in my humble opinion.

      As a mechanic I fully agree. Just another thing to charge the unknowing customer for. Like nitrogen in tires, nitrogen in tires is only beneficial for aircraft and race cars (any tire traveling 200mph or more) yet they still think it's needed in the average drivers car lol

      @@derpherpp Many electronic systems use sensors that do not contain batteries. They're referred to as RF tags. One example is the chips they implant into pets to identify them. Another is the anti-theft devices you see on some store purchase items. They get their energy from the electromagnetic field being radiated by the transmitter the vet uses or, in the case of the stores, located at the exit doors. It's a shame that auto manufacturers can't make use of that sort of technology for the TPMS sensors.

      Exactly. It’s hundreds of dollars to change all four (you buy OEM and not aftermarket). Just have a quality tire pressure gauge and check them weekly (like I do). I always forget pressure on the one in the trunk. Also, the spare tire for a CR-V is only a temp on to get to a tire shop to either repair o replace the tire.

      @@jimthecarguy In that case, you can either buy an OEM sensor or get an aftermarket one that fits the vehicle and you won't have to program it, so you won't need that number. Since you're using blank "clonable" units that can be programmed to fit various models, you have to have the information in order to clone the new unit. That's a smart way to cut down on inventory and still be able to give quick service. I enjoyed your video very much... very well done... you're the kind of mechanic everyone wishes for.
