Because they sell cars like candies, not educating people the maintenance, the care needed. To make profits the wrong way, is also to make people uneducated, to make people more dependable on others like dealers,shops, and etc... At the end, most people who drives are busy, have minimal knowledge on the safety maintenance of tires and cars, causing danger to self and others on the road. Temporary solution is to create more cost for consumers like TPMS, more waste for the environements as its one time use while new laws keep on placing the burden back on individuals vs back on the system . 🎉

Very informative. You'd be surprised how often the sensors are the source of a leak.

Learned a lot. Thanks! Old 2010 Mustang had one broken off due to faulty installation. Took a while but working right!

JR I'm always amazed at how much technical stuff you know!

This was very cool to see. This has always been a tell a the shop "Yeah I want TPMS" thing, and never actually saw how it worked and was installed and configured. Great stuff!!!

Great video explanation, I have an 07 Acura TL and my system went crazy one day and I recently had my tires rotated and the sensors are back on point. Don't know why but I'm glad to have that error light off my dash.

My 2019 Ford Fiesta SE has the light and says the tire is low. However, it doesn't say which tire is low. Which is not a big deal to me because i have a tire pressure gauge that I use and just air up the low tire

There's one more type of TPMS and that's indirect TPMS. Indirect uses the vehicle's ABS / wheel speed sensors to monitor each wheel's rotation count/speed. When one of them has a variation in their rotation count compared to the other wheels, it will will trigger the TPMS (tire) light in the dash because a low tire pressure will cause the wheel speed to change and the TPMS indirectly detects that via the ABS / wheel speed sensors. The other type being "direct" (what you're showing in this video) where there are sensors in each wheel that report the pressure to the TPMS subsystem of the vehicle. I agree having an Autel TPMS tools is a great thing to have. I use my Autel MaxiTPMS TS601 far more than I thought I would when I purchased it. I enjoy watching your videos!

Thanks, John. i didn't know anything about those gadgets, and now I feel that I am pretty much up to date on them.

Thank you! That was the most informative video I have watched in quite a while. Nice work.

Second extremely helpful video of yours that I learned from and did/will implement on my own car! Thanks! (First one was the GDI cleaner video)

I've always wondered what the TPMS sensors of my 07 GMC Sierra look like. This video on a 2010 answered my question. I appreciate JR not bad mouthing TPMS for vehicles. But no doubt their a pain for a home mechanic enthusiast to work on. Especially when the fix doesn't work.

There is another system that measures pressure loss with the hall sensors from the abs/esp, if it notices that one tire is slightly rotating faster due to the decreased circumference it knows that this wheel needs to be checked , it’s a simple system but I like it , it’s better than not knowing that you’ll have a big problem soon 😄👍🏻

Excellent video, JR. Very informative.

Awesome, so shopping list, $390 scanner, tire machine, all the sensors you can find to hopefully find one that works, oh what's that, the lights still on. Simply outstanding. I remember when people used youtube to post videos when they actually figured something out or had some tech to share.

The TPMS on our dodge has an aluminum valve stem - it snaps right off at the hole in the rim. A real pain..

Totally agree with you about tpms. My 2006 Hyundai doesn't have it. My 2016 Camry does have it and it shows the tire pressure. It definitely helps maintain proper air pressure in the tires.

I like how VW does TPMS with the ABS sensors instead of the sensors inside the tires.

So your abs sensor outside the tyre can read pressure inside the tyre? That doesn't sound right. they might use the abs system to collect data but not detect pressure - unless it measures wheel speed rotation? Hadn't thought of that?

On my 03 corvette, still have original sensors. They still work great. Cool thing about the corvette, is you dont need any extra programming scanners. Just use the built in training function on the driver information center, and use a magnet on tpms sensors. (great reason to stick with OEM parts if replacing the sensors. 20 years of worry free use.)

Excellent, comprehensive vid, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. A question big you don’t mind, if you had an OBD connect cable for that Autel S508, would have you still needed that high-level Autel scan tool to put the car in learning mode to register the new TPMS sensors? The Lexus dealer will charge about $100. USD ea. retail for an OEM sensor, they can be pricey. The Autel universal sensors seem like a good solution.

my TPMS in my 2017 KIA does not show the pressure but tells one is low but not which one.

I hope you take this as I intend it - one of your better and more informative videos. The "story" might not be as engaging (to some), but I really enjoyed it.

"...Not that big of a deal!" Hmm, it seems an unnecessary hassle to me, full of fails and sensors that won't talk to the car. All sensors should use a single universal protocol and all cars should autodetect with a single command.

I hooked up the computer to his truck and I set the minimum maximum psi for his tires to be 1PSI by doing so the light never came on.

My Fusion has like three dead sensors... which I was informed of immediately after my new tires were swapped on. I think I can manage to press the 'Reset' button on the info display for a while longer.

I wish you could tackle my TPMS system. I have a 2008 FJ Cruiser which was the first year TPMS was included with the FJ. However, it wasn’t until 2009 that they added the TPMS Reset button under the steering wheel, so mine has been suck at the factory TPMS setting of 46 psi which is way too high for my tires! (Normal FJs had a lower psi setting, but mine is a Trail Teams Special Edition which came with differently sized wheels and tires so they decided to set the psi differently for some reason.) If I had your knowledge or tools I would at least attempt to reset the pressure down to something reasonable like 36 or 32.

I thought it was the acronym for "Temporary" PMS....which doesn't exist to my knowledge.

Great video! On newer BMWs, you can code the car to display the tire temperature from the TMPS in addition to the pressure on the iDrive. Pretty neat to see the tire temps as you drive. I bet the data stream is slightly different between the Subaru sensors and Prius...

For the record, you can also use the TS508 to write TPMS sensor IDs straight from the tool via the OBD II cable and Advanced mode.

I'm going to chime in here with an updated answer. Having used Autel's TPMS tool (and their TPMS sensors for awhile), I highly recommend staying away from the Autel TPMS MX sensors! The MX sensors are flakey, and crap out on you often, leaving you to wonder if your tires are flat or if it's Autel's sensors playing tricks on you. Here's what I recommend you do instead: Get pre-programmed TPMS OEM sensors (which are sold at dealers and stores like Rock Auto). You can install those, activate them (via instructions that come with the sensors), then have the Autel tool read the sensors and program those into the onboard computer via the OBD II port. I love the tool, but those sensors are baaaaaaaaad.

Good tutorial sir.

my 1994 Corvette had a basic tire monitor system. It let me know A tire was low going 75 on the interstate once. I pulled over, no tires seemed low, got back up to speed and sure enough, the drivers rear was going down. I put on the spare ( took me 15 minutes to find it ) and continued my move from SC to AL at 75 mph. Taking off was fun with a spare rear as it wanted to spin very easily and traction control was real aggressive in pulling back the throttle when it did. I have an 07 Elantra, no TPMS and got a flat pulling into a gas station on my trip from SC to AL for my HS reunion 10 years ago. Imports must have been exempt in 2006 since my 2007 doesn't have it.

Tpms is just another Gov mandated accessory that should be an option, they regularly fail and at 30 to 100 dollars to have fixed each it's much cheaper to buy a tire pressure gauge and check yourself 3 or 4 times a year! Especially if they dont tell you what pressure is required!

I have 1 of my tires / wheels that won't beep..the right rear..I bought 1 of the EL-50448 hand held sensore to try to beep and still won't so in order to fix it I have to do like you here in this video.

For anyone saying it's laziness and to just check the tire pressure on a regular basis, that's all well and good until your tire is punctured and you don't know it. I lost a brand new tire due to not knowing it was flat (low profile tire) and I drove on it for several miles and ruined the tire. I bought a TPMS kit and never looked back. I won't run without one now, especially since it's a sports car that I regularly take fast on curvy roads, not to mention the tires are more expensive. I still manually check my tire pressures occasionally just to verify they're working properly, but these kits are great.

mine has the band kind and my lights on saying error. not sure what one went bad. or maybe it needs a new battery.

The ATEQ Quickset Light ($119) was all I needed for my Subaru Crosstrek and its stock Yokohama tires and the Bridgestone Blizzaks I purchased from TireRack (pre-mounted on black steel rims, with their own TPMS). I should mention, however, that I do need to drive around for about 20min after changing the codes, before the car's computer picks up on it and shuts off the TPMS light.

There's a cable that comes with the TS508 to connect it to OBDII; with any moderately recent firmware it will write the IDs directly to your ECU. I did it today in a Camry and it took less than two minutes start to finish (including identifying the sensors).

Loved the TPM system on my former 2004 Toyota Sienna. It did not required any sensors on the tires (it monitored tire rotation). Never failed me in the 10 years I owned that vehicle. Never understood why the move to sensor-inside-tire/rim. I heard it was government mandated.

The TPMS on my Subie has worked fine since I got it (touch wood) but the one on the Jeeps my brother and his family own and have owned have never worked. Always broken.

I bought non-MX cheap aftermarket sensors (non clonable) for my 2013 Lexus es300h a set of 4 for $36. Using the Autel 501 to recognize the serial # and in advanced mode put the car ECU in relearn mode with the OBD 2 cable. I also noted the serial # printed on the aftermarket tpms sensor was different than what the Autel scanned it as being.

For Josh such an upright dude and always has something going on with those damn cars

So happy that the Prius has found a convert in Josh. :) At one time, before the Gen III came out, I was responsible for the most Priusi sold in my state. I still own a 2009 Prius with only about 27K miles on it. I just earlier this year put on a fresh set of tires because the originals were starting to show fine cracks on them. Other than oil changes and fuel, I have needed to spend nothing else on it. My only complaint is with the fuel bladder in the gas tank. The bladder was meant to do away with the need for fuel pumps. However, Toyota did away with them on the 2010 Prius on. My problem with it is that I live in an area where it is normal to have sub-zero winter days and nights, and severe cold weather can cause the bladder to shrink permanently. So, although it works fine otherwise, I can now only put in about 8 gallons of fuel, instead of the 11.9 it used to take to fill it. As little as I drive it and the excellent fuel economy it has means I only fill it once every 6 weeks or so. Not that worried. :)

For the Prius, if you have the right sensors, you should get a mini-VCI cable and Techstream software to program them in using a laptop. He should probably get that anyways, it does more than most of the CAN readers/programmers you can get. . Also, if the 3G Prius is like the 2G (most likely), the Techstream software has an ID5 so he can get a sensor for the spare if he wants.

If your car is a late 05 sold as an 06, it may not have it. If it doesn't have it, there are various aftermarket systems, some that use the same type of valvestem sensor inside the rim/tire, others that have a small valvestem cap that you screw on to replace the standard one. Just search Amazon for "TPMS system", there are tons of them.

Link to the Titan sensor?

As others have noted, many cars including Honda use the abs sensors. They have issues but there are no sensors in the wheel and the owner can reset the algorithm from the mfd.

The driver could drop the pressure with a switch on the dash when coming off a ship or landing craft so it can drive thru the soft sand then raise the pressure when they got on a hard road. It had three settings on it.

Josh got the same Prius I have. Amazing commuter car and road trips. $20 of gas and your set for the week.

Firestone charged me $75 for a single sensor in my HHR. Much prefer an indirect TPMS system like my Taurus has. It just uses the ABS sensors to compare wheel spin to find a low tire. It's not nearly as accurate as a direct system but it's way cheaper to maintain and does the job just fine.

Why are there none designed from the outside of the valve stem? Changeable coin batteries would be a nice feature too. Is there a tire shop lobby in on this or are wheel designers just set in their ways?

It's called Right To Repair... and consumers don't have it, farmers don't have it. Even the military has to hire contractors to fix their equipment.

I had TPS on my tape deck in my 67 Mustang, oh TPMS... Yeah we just looked at the tires. My Toyota always has that tire light on even after i reset it.

could try something new, like replacing it

PSA: If you’re DIY, and have an at home, manual tire machine, PLEASE for the love of god treat every tire as if it has a sensor. NEVER break the bead right at the valve stem.
