True,been a mechanic for 53 years,never seen such unnecessary electric B S on todays cars!Went to tire store had new tires put on,then light came on,I will fix myself!
Thank you for posting this video. One of the rear tires on my 2015 Equinox has a bad sensor. I ordered the sensors and the tool from amazon to replace myself.
Thanks for the help. I did one today and struggled a bit to get the old sensor out and new one in but ultimately did so using my jack to break the bead and collapse the sidewall. The bead sealed right away which I was concerned about. Glad I got the relearn tool and a valve installation bar. Need to do the other 3 once they go bad.
Great video. That tool is very handy too. When they rotate my tires they don't reset the system. I have them rotate my tires because I get free rotation for the life of my tires.
Question: Where did you get that tire bead breaker apparatus? It seems to work like a charm, and you no longer have to place the tire under the car and use the weight of the car to break the bead. Thx.
Hey Luke, was looking at those air pressure sensors on Amazon and noticed they say not to try this replacement and relearn if you dont have a proper scan tool that can "talk to it" to wake them up, does that relearn tool take the place of the scan tool? Thanks for any info
@@lukeFugate I have a 15 Equinox. Followed your directions and worked out great. Took me a min to get the tire back on the bead. No one told me to take the core out when inflation to make that part easier.
14:23 I don't think it's due to TPMS measurement error. Your tire pressure pump is monitoring the upstream pressure. It will get to 36 PSI, while the downstream pressure will be 35psi just because of the pressure drop caused from line length and airflow. If you can set pressures, add 1psi to account for the drop.
These seem to work like they should. They were half that price. I guess they should be replaced with every tire replacement anyway, so the cheap ones should be fine.
Thanks. 😊 Best video I've seen on this subject concerning my vehicle.
I'm glad it was an easy fix. That said, i find it annoying that cars these days have so many unnecessary electronic features, though :)
Yes, it wasn’t that bad. I really would prefer a simpler car, I’m seeing a lot to go wrong in this one.

Very cool, thanks for watching!
I'm glad to see you could fix this easily without it costing too much. 👍
You really have a way- especially getting around $70+ for a 2$ part- another great video
Thanks, I wasn’t going to fix it for that price.
Wow, you have tools for everything. I wish I had all those tools. Thank you.
At least there are cheap versions of the tools, that's the only way I can afford them lol.
Thank you. My light went on the other day. I was hoping it was an esy and cheap fix.
Yeah, I'm glad it is wasy to fix. At firs, I didn't like this system but now it comes in handy.

Glad it helped. The more I use this system the more I like it.
Thanks for making the video, I am going to try doing this
Good luck!
Thank you so much im so done with these damn tire pressure sensors....I appreciate the video though...very helpful
Glad you liked it! Yeah I think cars are getting way too complicated now.
Great video. That tool is very handy too. When they rotate my tires they don't reset the system. I have them rotate my tires because I get free rotation for the life of my tires.
Yes, this tool should be in the car. It is essential in my opinion. I'm getting spoiled by tpms like everyone else lol
Yes, Helpful!
That is my exact reading on my tire pressure for my Buick Envision
Very good info.
@@debraross2811 Thank you!

You are welcome
Great video! Thanks alot!
Glad you liked it!

I got it on Amazon here is a link.

It does come in handy.
Ughhh I was hoping I could do this on my own 😭 I don’t have the wheely-gig tool to pop it off. Rats!
Yeah, they have to make things difficult. The tool is pretty cheap though.
@@lukeFugatewhat is the tool called?
@@sierravickers8003 Here is a link to the tool amzn.to/3Y8sYAL
Great video! What type of batteries does the EL 50448 take?
@@whitleygreendiy 9 volt.
@ Thanks!

It worked fine with the tool I got on Amazon. It is cheap and is handy to have for the future as well.
Do you have a link for the resetting tool?
@@steaphonhaygood2430 Here is a link to the tool. amzn.to/3ZJZxFO
My 2012 Cruze does the deflation reset fine. Sometimes it doesn't work the first time.
Good to know, thanks.
Are they still working good? I’m about to buy the same ones and do it today if they are.
Yes, they are still going strong. No problems as of yet.

these are clonable sensors?
14:23 I don't think it's due to TPMS measurement error. Your tire pressure pump is monitoring the upstream pressure. It will get to 36 PSI, while the downstream pressure will be 35psi just because of the pressure drop caused from line length and airflow.

Thanks for the tip. Makes sense.
Did your air compressor rebead the tire or did you have to do an extra step?
Yes, it managed to air it up.
I tired to do this and I was having a hard time since my tires are brand new so I had to take it to the tire shop and paid $5
Sorry it didn't work for you. At least you found a cheap place to get it done.
Cats never change,
true
And here I am, watching this video, with the same problem, at roughly 83,700 miles...
At least they make it relatively easy to do. Didn't really care for this system at first, but turns out it is pretty handy.
just paid $200 bucks for a set of 4 OEM TPMS sensors for my '18 Silverado
Holy cow, those are expensive. Hopefully, they last a very long time for you.
I don't have all those tools or else I could of fixed this issue like you did on my 2016 Chevy Cruz manual transmission
A shop probably wouldn't charge all that much to mount the tires and program them. I just don't really like to let other people work on my vehicles.
@@lukeFugate Respect that.
coulda got all 4 gm sensors on ebay for 45-50 bucks
These seem to work like they should. They were half that price. I guess they should be replaced with every tire replacement anyway, so the cheap ones should be fine.
Such a pain. At least it's not Mercedes.
True, I would say a Mercedes would have to go to the dealer and cost a fortune.
Never inflate ANY tire that is not held securely in place !
Good tip.
you cant fix them
All you need is a magnet.
Really? I will definitely have to test that. If so I'll make an update video. Thank you.
@ericsanchez7789 unfortunately no.
Please get to the point in the video, I had to watch the whole thing before I actually got to the part where you fixed your system
