Looks like a lot of people are misunderstanding the point of this tool. It's not to replace a broken tpms sensor, it's to replace the top portion of the sensor where the air goes into the tire. If your tpms sensor is faulty, then yes you'd need to replace it as a unit. However, many times it's the top portion that breaks off and you can't fill up the tire with air because the air hose won't latch onto it and push on the stem valve and let the air in. This is where this tool kit helps.

I had a broken aluminum TPMS stem because of a steel valve cap that did not want to come off. I watched this video. It made sense. I read many discouraging posts from simpletons that don't know what they're talking about. Was not deterred. Purchased the kit. Followed the directions. It was very easy. TPMS valve stem repaired. Has held the exact same amount of air now for over two weeks without losing a single PSI. Repaired TPMS sensor works as intended without having to be reprogrammed or replaced. Cost of this kit was $40. Kit will repair two TPMS valve stems. Cost of replacing TPMS with an oem unit and having it programmed from the local dealership would have cost over $150. Highly recommended.

@@petewerner1494 I don't really understand the nightmare. So a light stays on above my steering wheel; who cares? I was fully capable of looking at my tires to verify they're inflated, and paying attention to my vehicle's movements(even on bumpy roads) before TPMS became a thing. Ignoring one tiny light is an easy thing to add to that routine. On the other hand, I've had people borrow my vehicle and drive normal speeds on a fully flat tire before, and then having a poorly qualified individual attempt tire replacement, thereby destroyed 3 of 5 lug bolts... So I can see the merit... but for something omnipresent on vehicles these days, it's an extremely poor implementation to require a special computer to be able to resync the devices to your vehicle. To say nothing of how easy they are to hack.

There is an entire industry built around resolving TPMS issues, and if you've priced out the sensors and tools, it's obvious what a racket it is. The sensors are built to fail. A better design would be a sensor that screws into the rim and has the electronics/battery on the outside (this could be on the inner rim for aesthetics), making for easy replacement.

This looks like a good tool. I have a sensor on my Jeep replaced because the stem broke from salt corrosion. The dealer charged me about 200.00. Soon after, a second stem broke off a different tire. I wasn't paying another 200.00 so I had all the sensors replaced with regular brass/rubber stems and just live with the TPM light always on. If I had seen this kit sooner, I would have tried their repair.

I supply replacement stems and collars on my tyre consumables round in the uk. The set covers most vehicles. The collar of this stem would likely fail at some point too. The average cost to the dealer is £3 to £5. Is there not a similar system in the USA?.

I for one doubt this will overcome the TPMS light showing up on the dash, From what I read and spoken to many others a garage will charge around 4/500$ to take off all 4 tires and replace the units inside the tire. I have a light on currently with my vehicle , so i decided to live with it until i need new tires. then if i still own the vehicle i will pay a reputable garage for replacing the tires and the TPMS sensors

If I get new tires & wheels, but want to use my old TPMS sensors, should I order my tires mounted or dismounted?

When replacing a damaged or corroded valve stem???? Sounds like all you would be doing is replacing the valve stem and NOT the sensor and battery.

I'm new to self-car-fixing, what does this actually do? Doesn't that break the TPMS sensor inside of it completely? Then what happened to the flat tire indicator light? Will it warn me in the future if my tire needs more or less air?

and yes, its easy to do with proper tools. 15 minutes

As a tech this is a great tool .. I didn’t even know it existed .. all we do is just replace parts

Not losing pressure in tires so probably the TPMS unit :/ won't work for me right?

Replace the TPMS in the tire at a shop = $49.99, repair with the kit and 30 min labor = $49.99. I'll replace the whole thing

Haha trust a world of people who cant turn a screwdriver and tell them to figure out this, good luck

Clever but you can buys tpms rebuild kit for most vehicles for around $2 each that completely replaces the valve stem. in older one piece TPMS sensors it could be useful rather than replacing the whole sensor, but if its that old , then the sensor is probably due for replacement anyway. it only takes a couple min for a tire shop to remove the wheel and break the bead loose to be able to install the rebuild kit.

If buying all these necesassary special tools are much expensive than new TPMS sensor.

No it’s not. A new sensor is $200 plus labor. This tool is only $40

Errr. How does this work if the tpms battery is kaput? I think that the reason most people have a tpms warning light on

Useful for a roadside patrol as a get you home method, seeing as manufactures can’t afford to fit spare wheels in cars anymore.🤣 As a technician I don’t think I would like to drive round on that for long. TPMS and just valves for TPMS are cheap enough now not to worry about excessive cost, depending on manufacturer of course. Ford vs Ferrari..........

Yes Don Lee I am a Motor vehicle technician in the UK. I used to be a breakdown patrol, but now own my own vehicle repair workshop. I buy in the valve part of the TPMS and swap over the electronic part keeping the cost down for my customers. This product would certainly suit the breakdown recovery industry as a get you home method Or AAA over your side of the pond The lack of a spare to save weight in a vehicle these days seems ridiculous, having to sit waiting for help when you could have it changed in 10 minutes, but this is the world we live in.......

Here's a tip: Demand that your tire installer use bead sealer. It's a black rubber compound that is brushed on. Simply cleaning the rim isn't enough. You'll be amazed at how often you used to air up your tires previous to bead sealer.

heck, just cleaning the bead seat on the rim can do wonders...

@@lJUSTwanaCOMMENT I agree on a painted rim. I was thinking alloys... some of the tire sealant is (or used to be) a little bit corrosive to some alloys (aluminum esp.) so I was always leary of it, but understand the though. On steel rims - all or nothing - if the paint is torn up in spots, generally it's already a corrosion problem - so yeah, getting something to seal that bare metal off is important. Cheers!

@@CaptainSeamus -- Thats good you don't touch the paint. All too often I see guys wheel brushing anything in front of them. And yeah, if you got spotty paint it's too late. doesn't take too long either. If cared for exceptionally well, the paint is good for what like 5 years maaaybe 10? As far as the corrosive tire sealer, I have heard that a few times. The stuff we use says good on bare aluminum, but yeah there could be some high strength steel only stuff out there. also like you mentioned it might be a time thing, i.e. used to be corrosive but isn't anymore. We use it on everyone's tires. Most the other shops around here only use it if you come back for a bead leak. I also seal the valve stems and it has worked out great. I have tires holding with plain atmosphere for years; I am not fibbing. TPMS as well, haven't had an issue. Anyway, good point about corrosive sealer; I will check it out.

30 years experience, soapy water works just as well!! You can now use WD-40 which wasn't available at that time. Just saying...

I've never seen the stem of a sensor break.

I have, mine. But instead of doing this hack job I just had the valve, ("stem") replaced

100.00 dollars labor to do this or 85.00 to replace sensor

The battery in the sensor only lasts 4-7 years you will need to replace and reprogram them anyways .

I read batteries last 7 to 10 years on the Honda website. Mine are 9 years old and very soon will be replacing tires so I will be doing new tire pressure sensors as well.

is this repair kit for any car, i have a 08 dodge nitro, or is there an specific kit for each brand vehicle

What did you end up doing? My threaded part just crumbled away leaving exposed valve stem

Please don t mix the two things..Stem,,and TPMS sensor! This video shows stem repair. The TPMS sensor looks,and acts differently. Much differently! Sensors have battery,about 5Y life span.If TPMS sensor plays stupid,or doesn t play at all,you don't drill and change valve.You take it out,and put the new sensor in place.!(watch the year on the new sensor..when was it made? battery !! Usually 5Y and than...bye bye!

Why? Ton of work with so many possible screwups - just buy new ones 🙄

Or you can actually learn something new, and experience the satisfaction in repairing something for yourself while saving over $100. Or stay ignorant and pay other people large amounts of money to fix easy problems for you. BTW, I used this kit after seeing this video. It was easy and it works.

Seriously, there are a lot of really slow people in these comments. This repair is for when your tpms sensor is working fine but the valve stem corroded or broke off. This is not for a dead battery or bad sensor. Let’s use common sense here.
