How To Replace TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Sensors Without A Tire Machine.
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ธ.ค. 2020
- Today I'm going to show you how to Replace TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors at home without a tire machine. Over time the TPMS sensors can go bad or the batteries can go dead. I'm going to show you how to replace them at home without going to a tire store. The way that I change the TPMS sensors is I use the emergincy jack or a bottle jack to break the bead on the tire to gain access to the TPMS sensor. Once the tire is loose on the rim you can reach inside the wheel and remove the sensors. I will also show you the basics of programming your new sensors so you will not have any TPMS fault lights on your dash.

2:15 and thats how you break the tpms its a spine tingling sound
Did you use Honda sensors? I'm asking you because you said yours aren't cloneable. If so, where did you get them?
Fantastic video extremely helpful
*WOW! I just stumbled onto your channel and WOW! I immediately subscribed and look forward to following you.*
Thank you for providing the tools you used. But my question is, can you program the tpms sensors without the tpms programming device? Some use the unlock/lock button by pressing them causing a honk and all lights to be on then they go off as you deflate partially each tire until the light turns off on that side. Then you move to the next etc. When all lights are off it is followed by double honk indicating it is calibrated. I want to replace mine but if the only way to reprogram the sensors is with the tool that is $200+ i might take to the shop. Thanks
Dude I wish everybody made their videos like you. Straight to the point with no BS talk. You get an A+ bro. 👍🏾
AGREED! And that's saying something, since there are so MANY hard to watch videos, just for the sake of doing a video.
Did we watch the same video?
Hear hear.
Same, thanks for this great video!
1000% right
Such a great video. No BS talk, no annoying music. Straight to the point.

ditto..
Exactly. I do not understand why some guys use cheesey headache inducing music in their videos.
Just like sex get straight to the point and off to bed so u can get up in the morning for work
I agree.
My TPMS broke while pumping so I had to replace it, went to the dealer and asked how much, they said £150 to replace a reset the computer + £30 (TPMS) I thought it was a joke, I bought the TPMS and asked my local garage, he did the job for £10 and saved myself over £100, don't unerestimate you local garage guys, great video, very informative
They're not called a stealership for a no reason.
My tire shop told
me they like to replace them all at once, 40 us$ no labor cause they were putting my snowing on. I said OK in my mind I had already budgeted more than that for one
Jeep Renegade tire sensors are $85 each. This is a master class on sensor replacement. Thank you so much. I truly do not have the skill set to change them batteries. To replace the 4 sensors on my Jeep the cost was $650. I'll just get a bloody tire gauge. :D
An additional tip... If you can't get the bead to seat, you can wrap the circumference of tire with a rachet strap and tighten it to cause the bead of the tire to spread outward against the rim. It is almost a necessity with small tires like on lawn mowers.
OR, use a lenght of rope and any tool llike a ratchet, wrench or screwdriver and put it around like a tourniquette...
Or you can spray a small amount of starting fluid inside the tire with a line across the sidewall for a fuse. Once you start putting air in, light it & it'll blow the tire back on.
@@stevemccauley5734 lighter fluid works when done right, but there are some scary fails on TH-cam from people trying this. I also would avoid getting lighter fluid on the TPMS. I'm not sure if the plastics and sealants used in them are compatible with lighter fluid. Its not the first option I would use, but maybe a good last resort.
@@stevemccauley5734 Make sure you have the camera running. Fun and profit from TH-cam!
@@alfredomarquez9777 My dad taught me the rope trick decades ago. The first time I had to use it it worked like magic!
Thank god it was 11mm. If it was 10mm this video would have never been finished, he’d still be looking for it.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Every set of tools should come with at least a half dozen 10 mm lol
Some 11mm some 12mm we are safe 😂
in Australia we have a parts chain that sells a 10mm socket set.. all 4 10mm in one set.. 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and a long 3/8
Ain’t that the truth!!!!
Mark your wheel and tire and any balance weights, so that if the tire moves, you can reorient it in the correct spot. If the tire is too stiff to seat the bead easily, a ratchet strap tightened around the tread should push the beads apart enough to help it seat.
The tire will never move as long as the second bead is not broken down
I had a young guy that was ironically my trainer in a shop tell me that, but I knew better... he said to mark it, but I know that balance changes based on driving conditions deff as the tyre wears... We checked it... and it was off. From that day I just pretended to follow his "teachings"...LOL
Ratchet strap seems of great use. Don't have air blaster, just simple 12v air pump and seals never go back with low pressure
He didnt take the bead of the other side so wheel and tire are still attached
Doesn’t work like that
You just blew my mind!!! The last time I had these done, unnamed repair franchise charged $95/tire. Now that my car is 12 yrs old w/500,000 miles on it (you heard me) I'm trying this out!!! THANK YOU
Bro where have you driven to.. my 15 year car is barely gonna reach 99k
$95 a tire, was that include the new sensor? The big name tire shops near me want $19.95/tire if I supply all the parts. There's a small shop that just charges $10 if I bring in the wheel off the car, saves them most of the work.
Unless we know how much is the part (did OP mention what they paid) we don't know how much is for the labor. I'm not doing all this work to save $20 or less in labor, given all the things that could go wrong.
Must be a Toyota?
Great video. To the point, no BS, no annoying music. This is what TH-cam is all about.
Just as happy to go full old school. After finding out the cost of replace for sensors, went back to just checking the pressure like used to be the norm. Zero cost.
In my state, it will fail state inspection if TPMS light is on. Meaning you can't do full old school.
@@Hemond1 You can jump 2 wires in the module and keep the light off. Also, make better friends with your mechanic that does inspections 😉
@@AmbientShades there’s always a way to beat those government tests! Once I had a Toyota that had a cluster of vacuum hoses and one of the hoses was cut off and plugged with a screw. They seen that short vacuum hose and wouldn’t pass me. Went everywhere trying to find out where the hose was supposed to connect to and no one knew? I finally just put on a long vacuum hose and ran it way back behind the engine not connected to anything. Went right through their test then. Had another Toyota truck that the air pump on the engine wasn’t working right. Bought a new one that also stopped working a week later and I wasn’t going to spend another $400.00 for another new one. Went to a wrecking yard and got a used one. Unfortunately I cracked the housing installing it. So it wasn’t working right either, but least the pulley was still spinning where the other two pulley froze up. Since the pulley was still spinning it passed with flying colors anyway! Kind of frustrating when you pass the smog test but they fail you anyway when they see something they don’t want to see! If you pass you should pass regardless in my opinion! But I’m a rebel! LOL
@@Hemond1 get out of that commie cesspool!
@Mike G hmmmm, gotta find out where the wires for that light go...
Great video. Direct, to the point and no fluff with some great tips. This is gold.
Very helpful! Thank you so much. Thank you for covering the exceptions and gotchas we may run into. One of the best how-tos I watched.
Worked like charm!! I replaced all 4 sensors in my summer tires. First one was the toughest, then I figured it out. The other three went quick!! Thanks for the info
If I’m just changing the wheels (same size as oem) can I just transfer the truck ms sensors to the new wheels without any programming?
@@frankm2385 if you are removing the sensors from the old rims and installing them on the new rims, yes they are are already programmed to the truck.
@@willking7799 Thank you 🙏
Finally a video that literally answered all my questions about the tire sensors! Packed with info here, thanks bro!
Talk about an 'aha!' moment... This is a brilliant way to break the bead on a tire - Wish I had known this years ago - I bought a set of tire spuds - scratched the paint on the rim and now it leaks slowly! THANKS!
The 1st and most important thing to do is check the spare tire, make sure it's ready to go in case something gets screwed up and you need to drive to the tire shop.
Great tip!!
Sage advice! And only do 1 tire at a time just in case.
Easier way.......2009 Honda CRV ......At 108,000 miles lost one TPMS sensor, just about needed tires. Waited 9 months, bought new sensors on ebay ($43 for 4, same as the original Honda ones) and new tires at Discount tire. Asked them to install, they did Installations and programming at no additional cost. Also got a great deal on the tires. Thanks....Jim
Nice plug
Sort of what I'm going to do. I have a 2009 Civic with one sensor out.
Thank You
There you go a man with a brain
only problem is is many shops & Garages are getting so they will not go that route and tell you they will refuse the job unless you buy your parts through them,. This is for 2 reason .... 1 > They lose money on their 20% - 30% mark up, on the parts, and the bigger one ... 2> Liability & insurance purposes, You see ..they know legally if there is an accident ,. they can be held liable for installing a faulty part on your vehicle regardless if you bought it or they supplied it,. for that reason, Many Garages / Tire shops tend to stick with buying parts through a Store or vender they trust and knows sells them good quality parts compared to a customer bringing in their own parts that they bought from who knows where, and could be super cheap junk , Once in a while you may find a shop or Garage that will allow it , but as a general rule of thumb many will not / no longer allow Customers to ""buy their own parts"" & bring in for installation , to them it is just not worth the risk in a sue happy world like we have today
A future tip for this! Always, and I mean always break the bead opposite the valve. If you break the bead on top of the valve you will more than likely break the sensor off
True. Been there, done that.
Good tip
If it’s broken. Who cares
@@ianc435 in case you want to replace just the battery.
@@gtdodgeviper yeah. If I’m going through the trouble of breaking the tire down chilling out the sealant and chancing breaking it. I’m going to have one spare. So I might as well do the job once. I get it. But what’s more exspensive a tow or really bad accondet vs a new sensor. I’ll do the sensor all day long.
By the best method I've seen for busting a bead without spending over $100 for a bead buster tool. Thank you !!
time saver and most important money saver, i like seeing young people doing work on their bars
Thanks RG
suggestion- instead of using WD 40 on the tire bead, use a generous rub of dishsoap. It not only lubes the bead and wheel but improves the seal of the tire.
Excellent video! Straightforward, clear and concise! Great job! Thank you!
Big, big thanks on the video. You did not make me cringe while watching the video. I appreciated your composure/ delivery. One video I watched showed a guy driving his truck up a two by four that was propped up on top of the side wall. It was definitely a WTF moment. I doubt I will be doing what you did, but I APPRECIATED the fact that you showed a way to get the job done. Again, thanks.
Great video. I would advise against using WD40 on any type of rubber though, it can eat/dissolve rubber. Use soapy water.
I thought the same thing too.
2 things
1: When seating the bead put some dishwashing liquid on the tire. Makes it easier and safer.
2: Don't put your face over the rim. It is rare but they do fail.
1> it's cheaper than wd40 2> it dries cleaner
@@ilovemyevo556 # 4 > dish soap will also bubble up if you have a bad spot where the bead did not seal right and you have a small leak ( tiny chunk of hard dirt , rust, or a other debris can prevent a tight seal that will barely leak) ... Friend of mine worked in a Garage used to brush dish soap & water mixture around a bead of a tire that was remounted and car was sitting on the ground / floor . the weight of the vehicle would cause the air to leak out, thus making the soap mixture bubble up ..
@Fred Wills A year later... Still waiting on this tire to degrade...
@@RepairGeek it's actual science guy. WD-40 eats rubber. He's right and you're wrong.
Indeed, WD40 is a water displacer, not a lubricant.
Nice explanation. Thank you. One thing regarding soldering batteries: be very careful because they do not like prolonged heat with a soldering iron. They can explode violently so be careful.
Soldering pretty much ruins these batteries
This is great because my tire mounting machine is currently on the fritz. I was afraid I might need to use my jetpack or my Mr. Fusion, but this one trick totally saved my ass.
Great info! Thanks for the explanations. Very clear and well delivered!
Sheeet today buying the piece of 2x4 would cost more than having the dealership do this for me! 😝
IKR!?!?
100% truth !!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
that's right WOOD prices are insane,,, but look at it this way,,,you'd have a piece of wood to do the other 3 sensors when they sheat out ,,, and you never get in trouble for having a piece of wood in your trunk especially when you need to swing it on someone
"Got wood"
This will save me $14-22 for labor per tire. I just need to spend for balance if needed which comes free at tire shop that replaced mine..
@@petergersbach7355 Most of "US" Americans keep our guns well oiled.
Thank you for creating this video, I was about to order four new TPMS sensors for my 2014 Ridgeline and decided to check with Costco Tire to see if they would perform a TPMS test to see what sensors were having the issue on my truck, 3 of the 4 sensors had weak batteries. I asked the Costco Tech if they replace TPMS sensors if the tires were not purchased at Costco, as it turns out they do at a cost of $45 per sensor which also included a free rebalance. Needless to say at that cost I had all four replaced at Costco. As a side note they installed DILL REDI-SENSOR 7002A on my 2014 Ridgeline. Thanks again for the informative video. Eric
that is cheap!!! and costco tire shop is awesome for new michelins to boot!
I appreciate your informative information I could never find anything else like this and in my time I will pass this on for anyone that needs this information like myself thank you have a blessed life
A most excellent video sir! That warning light on my dash about sends me over the edge. Thank again!
That’s pretty slick, thank you for sharing,popping the bead off with out a tire machine = priceless 💯
Very informative video. Thanks for keeping it simple and to the point. And explaining the reprogramming part in depth. I've been debating which Autel tpms reader to buy, have been in the fence between the ts408 and ts 508...not sure it the $100 difference of the 508 is justified for me to only do this a few times
Awesome straight to the point ,concise and clear .
An incredibly GOOD video... learned a lot on a subject I was not familiar - THANKS!
Thank you, this video helped me fix a friend's 2013 Hyundai sonata. I snagged the same programmer you have and that programmer made life so easy. I had to use the jack to break the bead and swap out the sensors with working ones but programming was a sinch after that. I don't really comment on videos but this helped my friend and once my sensors come in for my 2007 Camry. I will finally after years of having that pesky light on be rid of it. Thanks for this video, liked and subscribed.
Cool informational video, just what I was looking for. Thumbs up 👍for putting the links. You got a new subscriber.
Great video, i have been dealing with the light on dash for too long! Thanks for showing a great use for that jack too!
This technique worked great for me. Very well explained!
Great tip on using the scissor jack to break the bead!
I think that also it would be a great idea to take down the number on the sensor in case your car needs it to reprogram the sensor. Another thing is about tire rebalancing unless the tire is awful then rebalancing isn't needed, at least in my experience it has been that way
Very good video. Extremely informative and easy to understand.
Great video. Very informative! This is my 1st time owning a vehicle with these sensors. Your video was easy to follow and you explain this technology very well. Thx
Good job on the video. My 2003 Corvette has a procedure for re-learning the sensors. After putting the car in learning mode, you simply take a magnet and hold it near the valve stem of each tire. You go clockwise around the car beginning with the left front tire. After a few seconds, while holding the magnet near the valve stem, the car will chirp the horn. After doing all 4 tires, the horn does a double chirp indicating the procedure is done. I had to pay Costco $59 for each sensor. They would not install the sensors I bought from Amazon.
Well done. Very helpful information. Awesome instructor.
You have really put a lot of thought and work into this!
Great video. Another option for breaking a stubborn bead is to use a second car/truck to drive over the edge of the tire. Maybe not a good idea on a low profile tire but it worked for me back in the day time and time again.
Informative video. For those who are going to do this.. first off, be sure the tire isn't rusted onto the rim (the jack trick won't work if it is) and second, stand the tire up to re seat the bead. If you've ever seen a tire come off the rim... you'll wish you had. Safety first people.
You won't be able to see it.. it's to fast.. but the mark on the 30 feet high ceiling has been visible for years. Just keep your head and body always away from the flat sides of the wheel while re seating the bed..
Great lesson. Stealership wants an obscene amount to change and reprogram these things. Love the idea of cutting them right out of the process....👍
I bought sensors for my 2010 HHR on eBay for about $45.00 for the 4. I leave them in the storage area and when I buy tires I have the installer swap em out. Bought two front tires about three days ago and followed the plan. I'll change out the back two when I get new ones. I did pay $10.00 to have the front two reprogrammed. Just what I do...
@@johnsee7269 my guy at the tire shops will program the 4 for 20 bucks. Good to know other people do it like I do. Lol I also offered a guy on ebay 40 bucks for 4 Honda oem ones and he said yeah.
I didn't actually see how you used the OBD2 tool
You can reprogram yourself. Chrysler products don't even need reprogramming, they reprogram themselves. Other cars you need to go into the programming mode and start with the proper tire and go in the proper order just releasing a couple pounds of pressure until the horn beeps.
What a great vid! I had a tire that kept losing air so I repeatedly pumped it up with a bike pump. Finally the tire stopped holding air altogether so I rushed it to the mechanic. He said the the sidewall had worn out but more interestingly the pressure sensor looked torn up. I had no idea that it communicated with the computer by RF (well of course it would have to). I didn't know about beads, tools to remove the valve core, or programming the computer to work with the new sensor. Or that trick with the scissor jack.
Just the best video ever for learning!
You covered EVERYTHING. Great job. Thanks
Thanks for the video, got me to thinking about trying this with my 07 Buick Lucern, liked your method of breaking the bead.
Or maybe you could just save your money, and use a tire gauge to check the pressure of your tires, that's what we used to do before tire pressure monitoring systems , good old $5 pressure gauge work just fine!!!
They are a pain in the arse period !more money making than saving lives
Beautifully made video. Your providing all the details, including reprogramming is outstanding. Personally I do not replace the TPMS sensors when they fail, but if I had to, your help is invaluable. Thank you!
Don't you have a obnoxious warning constantly on your dash> My 2010 Ford Escape says Pressure Sensor Fail until I reset then it comes back on every time I turn the car on.
@@GrandmaSezSoyeahh man i have the same warning in my lexus, i have no idea which tire has the failing sensor so i’m thinking about just buying all 4 plus the spare tire sensor, get all tires up to pressure and hopefully i’ll be able to turn it off with the button permanently. try to see if all of your tires are the same pressure
@@301Jayden You have a spare tire sensor?
Do you have to program 5 sensors instead of 4 during a relearn?
I know this is an old video but I learned more about working with a tire then the sensor, will definitely be using these tips, usually dyi with a tire is a nightmare and this guy made it look like child's play
Very informative video. Also, before assuming the sensor is bad check the tire pressure, the sensor may just be indicating low pressure and tripping the sensor light on the dash.
I really appreciate this video.
What an intelligent video! You answered every question I was going to ask, bravo! I was curious about the small Lithium battery replacement inside as well. And the diagnostic tool. Please do a video on that Alltel portable diagnostic tool for those with zero knowledge. Its so empowering to do these things yourself esp as a female. Thank you! Subscribed.
The battery is not replaceable
Pretty ingenious using the jack & car weight to loosen the tire beads!
now after watching this, Im glad I paid the shop to do it. Its too much hassle. Your video is awesome!!!
Excellent overview thanks for posting. I had mine replaced when I got new tires the other day and I kept the original Toyota sensors which were still working. They have a clear rubbery silicone that’s a real pain in the ass to get out. I think the key thing is get it out around the battery and then heat up the terminals on the battery to release it and replace the batteries with solder. Discount tire wanted $60 each for the sensors
I bought 4 sensors from Discount Tire. that was before I saw this video!
Straight to the point! And no BS intros, seriously you should have way more likes! Thanks for the video
Great video. I like how you used the jack. That is easier and cheaper than the Harbor Freight tire machine I use to do this. A couple of thoughts... Use a second board on the other side of the wheel to keep the tire from lifting or flipping up when using the jack. You are already there...rotate the wheel a little bit and use the jack to hold the tire down while you work on the valve stem. Tie a string to the sensor on the inside so if it drops, it is easy to get out. I learned that one the hard way. Thanks for the information.
I had a Jeep commander .. and the tire valves / pressure sensors all broke over the course of two years, They Physically broke so no air could be added.
I replaced them with common rubber tire valves and drilled and tapped the aluminum rims to attach the sensors back in! .. worked great saved a small fortune.
I broke beads on a lot of tires and it normally requires massive force. Especially if they have been seated on the rim for a long time. I have seen rims that require 4 seperate applications of the bead breaker on a proper powerful tire machine to get the bead broke loose.
Nice job, thanks!
Great video! I love how THOROUGH the information is. Thanks for the helpful video!
Excellent video. I use Forscan for my Fords. This video answered all my questions
A wonderfully organized video explaining how to replace a TPMS valve. Excellent descriptions. Thanks very much.
Best tie pressure sensor video I've seen
Thank you for ur repair tips. just replaced my TPMS works fine now.
Great video simple and to the point,thank you very much :)
honestly, how hard is it to just check your tire pressure with a gauge regularly?? Save your money and grief. And disable the stem monitor system.
Great instructional video! 👍
Yep, that's what I do. The sensors on my 20 year old Honda went out about a year ago.
@@eminusipi groovy! 👍
Stupid light will be on put piece of tape on it
Elfpimp! I had the Stem Monitor System disable a Tire on the Thruway . I watched the Pressure drop quickly on the Dash and saw 19 Lbs and Pulled over on the Shoulder in a safe place . I was Told the Device came loose and tore a Hole in the Inside of the Tire . I was upset !
Exactly!!
Thanks for a great video. I was about to ask about just replacing the battery when you covered that topic. Way to go!
I seriously appreciate this video! My prius just had the tpms light come on. I will probably pay someone to do it. Due to a bad back.
Awesome tutorial straight to the point!
Excellent info video!!!! But when it comes to scanners I dont have a clue, I have all I can do to get on youtube let alone scan a vehicle...
To seat the tire back on the rim and not involve flammable materials, just wrap a cargo strap around the tire and cinch it up until the tire expands against the lip of the rim and inflate. Fill the tire regularly and when the tire seats onto the rim, pop the cargo strap and fill to the proper PSI.
or replace the WD-40 with what tire shops use: watered down dish soap
@@enigmalfidelitycan confirm using soapy water helps putting on a tire. It’s almost the only way I can get my tire on my pitbike
Very good! Thank you!
Thank you for your time. Very informative. A new world we're living in. (I'm an old guy....)
Great info. The tire shop where I leave sells the each sensor at 174.00 per sensor. The dealer want 350.00 per sensor. Buying the sensors, and the computer is much cheaper. Cool!
Excellent instructional video that in my opinion perfectly met the intended objectives in a well thought out and articulated presentation. Thank you.
I use my log splitter with a piece of firewood placed in front of the wedge to break tire beads.
Nice video. One advantage of putting in a new battery would be the sensor ID does not change. Once you have the scan tool, it is likely faster to just replace the sensor.
Also makes it more likely that the sensor weighs the same going back in.
The batteries are not replaceable in the sensors.
@@jasonmorehouse3756 He shows in the video that you can (with a little bit of work) replace the battery.
Yes it was supposed to be non-servicable but that usually doesn't stop someone determined enough.
Dude thank you so much for your video very informative I've done a little bit of what you just described except for the sensor part and I would say you're a damn spot on. Keep putting out more videos and I'll see about subscribing to your channel thank you so much
Excellent video. Professional service mechanics don't know half of what you know. Thanks for posting the video.
Trust me they know, when your job pays based on how fast you go you get sloppy to make more money. They don't get paid based on how well they did the job.
Definitely earned a sub! Great, to the point with knowledge. Thank you!
Great, simple idea on how to break a tire bead,
I prefer your method the most.
I drive over the edge of the tire with another 🚙 car. Ben doing it for years works great and fast.
I have never thought of that.
Be careful the tire will flip up and smack the car when doing this
We always did that on the farm, but used the front tire of the tractor to run over the bead. Now I just use my bottle Jack, and the push against my hitch.
You are a humble great instructor. Thanks for sharing.
Just bought the 508 from Autel. I'm going with their sensors. I fortunately have a tire guy nearby that I'm cool with to break the bead. I have a few vehicles that have tmps sensors and once they go bad, I can replace. Use dish soap with water instead of WD40 to seat bead. Other than that, this was a straightforward video, thanks.
I’ve always wondered how this was done! Great option!
Hi Repair Geek, and thanks for a great video with excellent input to DIY solution...;-) I just been loosing a 18" tire from a alu wheel to my Opel/Vauxhall insignia A (2014) due to replacing the TPMS sensors. With a 2 m long temper (4,5 x 9,5 cm) I managed to loosen by adding 2 small pieces 15cm and 20cm also (4,5x9,5cm) cut out from the long 2,4m temper. Then the wheel facing upwards and the 2 small pieces between tire and the long timber on top, pressing up against the tow. using the back tow bar as leveling jack....;-) I had to add some silicon spray to make the rim slip an i had to loosen approx. 30 cm from both sides of the valve. Thanks for your inspiration....;-)
not too sure why this video was recommended to me in 2022, but i'm glad i learned something new today.
Excellent work
Thanks for the great knowledge and tire sensors
I never knew that the tpms sensor was on the valve stem. Great to know. Thanks
not all are
Great job. Your a good instructor. In Pa. You don't need them for the inspection stick I heard. Thank Ford and Firestone for thesel with all the deaths they causes with there tires.
Was it really their tires, or was it because the driver was going faster than the recommended speed for those tires?
It was Firestone that was found at fault for defective tires. Any vehicle can flip under the right conditions (had a friend flip a Porsche once), but SUV's are more prone to it because they are already top-heavy. Add low tire pressure on bad tires, overloaded vehicles (super common), excessive speed, emergency braking and steering maneuvers that result in the vehicle going off the pavement, and then the rims catch the dirt or a curb - Boom. Ford caught a lot of the heat because the Explorer was so popular/numerous, and running defective tires, and the media couldn't help but dogpile on Ford every time. They tried to make it seem like these things just flipped over sitting at a stoplight. Firestone tried to save its own ass by throwing Ford into the fire, and when they were found at fault, Ford axed their 100-year-old partnership. Ford still stepped up, redesigned their SUV's to be safer, and yes TPMS sensors, electronic stability control and wider axles were all introduced.
That’s a great idea I never thought of that before good stuff you can do it with pry bars going around but your way is a way better way of doing
Very good video my friend. Very informative. No BS. You go straight to the point. I like it! Keep up the good work.
Good info, but I just don't mind the light on the dash, and my trusty tire gauge is in the glove box.
Bingo
That's good if you're the one driving the car but if your wife or kids drive them then you can't expect them to be as careful as you are.
I like the benefit of an early warning - you just never know when or why a tire is going to start leaking.
What bugs me more is recently I bought a new set of four tires. Two out of four sensors were dead so as long as all four tires were coming off anyhow, I had all of the TPMS sensors replaced as well. What they charged for TPMS installation was the same as if that was the only thing they were doing.
@@erniecarrasco9107 yes i would expect them to. If your driving you the driver is responsible for the vehicle's operation. Another government mandated babysitter for incompetent people
I prefer to not have the light on the dashboard but it doesn't bother me enough to bother with this. I consider TPMS sensors redundant because you should know your car well enough to know if something is wrong the moment you take off. Also, for the price of the 4 sensors and the reprogramming tool its just not worth it.
