@@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.
That was the most comprehensive review of tire pressure system. I’ve ever watched. You did a wonderful job of explaining in very plain English and demonstrating as you went along. Thank you so much for the experience and the knowledge of how the TPS works.
Great the best explanation, I wish all mechanics were like you, unfortunately 95 % of them are bad mechanics, you are in the 5% of good ones. Wish you long live and healthy . God bless you.
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!
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
Hey Jim. You answered my question early on the In the video but I watched the whole thing because it was so great and informative. You have a great ability to walk through things in a a step by step way that makes it easy for people to learn. Thanks.
Wow what a pro I had a mechanic like that and he decided to give up his wrenches and become a math teacher and a local school hated to lose him but thank you Jim amazing amazing job
Extremely thorough and informative. Still going to have to visit a tire repair shop because I don't have the tools and equipment necessary to do this job, but at least you diagnosed the problem for me. Thanks for posting. Great job.
Excellent ! I have a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fee with this problem ! I did not know about the battery in the sensor and the "tip" on marking the tire was awesome. Very well done sir !!!!!
Maybe READING is beyond your ability !!! 2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE! !!!! People like you would not know which button to push on a two story elevator !!!!! You would stand on 4 in Blackjack too too !
Jim……my 2009 Honda CR-V, one of the TMPS sensors was bad, my tires were questionable, 6 months later I got new tires & new sensors, the car was 9 years old when the first one went, about 110,000 miles. I bought sensors on eBay (4 for $43, not $43 dollars each) and they were installed and programmed by Discount Tire. I only paid for the tires. Thanks….Jim
Wow. You got a sweet deal. My sensor(s) went bad a couple years ago. I was researching local replacement and installation and the sensor replacements alone were in the hundreds. I just said "forget it" and simply check my tire pressure every few weeks.
If the government wants to mandate these things they should also mandate a reasonable cost for them. I recently bought my first car with TPMS (my treasured 2004 Honda got totaled). I then purchased a second set of wheels and winter tires. When they told me how much it would cost for TPMS to be installed and programmed in the winter wheels I was shocked! Almost doubling the price of the wheels! Not a chance! I asked several friends who swap out wheels for winter, and not one has had sensors installed in their winter wheels. What good is a safety feature that is inoperative 5 months out of the year?
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.
@@jimthecarguy Jim, I bought a used car with TPMS lights on all original tires and sensors were replaced but not reprogramed, where do I get the numbers from to reprogram them?
Thank you very much. I have a 2008 Saturn VUE, the vehicle is in excellent condition, the only thing is that sensor I didn't know about until now. Thank you so much for your very valuable video, I really appreciate it.
Jim, Good video! Being sensor battery life is 8-10 yrs, & CRV is 2008, all 4 sensors are at the end of their battery life, perhaps best to install all 4 NEW sensors.
Most of the time sensors are the problem not the tires this is another brilliant way of thinking by the car manufacturer on how to squeeze more money from you and of course the mechanics loves this idea. From adding air to spending hundred of dollars. Is this what we called advance technology?
Very well done indeed Jim! Just subscribed and I or we appreciate your very important step by step n did NOT skip any details! Ths n many kudos 2 U sharing with UR tire knowledge and skills! Excellent job and I am sure those who did not comment all are thanking to you, I am sure!
Great informative video. When your video went on I sensed we are of one mind in your procedures. That part where you used your tire iron to gain access to remove and reinstall was so cool!. You saved a lot of time and work.
You are so amazing at explaining things thoroughly. I love to ask questions but you answered all the questions i had . Thank you for doing these vids. I wish you were in miami; you’d have a customer with me . Thanks again !
Very well explained with good work ethics 👍 Thanks ! I guess I am very lucky so far, going for 14 years with original TP sensors on my Honda Ridgeline, I just jinxed myself 🤣
Great Video! Clear and Concise! It also shows me I need to take it to the dealer, but at least I now how the knowledge to talk with them intelligently!
thanks jim , i was unclear how these worked but now i know , i have them on my 2013 RAV4 ,now i know i can expect them to go bad in the next 2-3 years . cheers fellow .
thank you. i really have this issue a lot of time. when i want the machanic we have at the town he told me you have to change all 4 sensors. and i have One bad sensor but today i figure out that there’s no necessary to change all sensors. thank you for your time
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
Very professionally done so gratifying and satisfying to watch gained a lot of knowledge and learning thanks so much for your sharing. Excellent articulation very clear with all your pronunciation so happy to watch your presentation again thanks so much
Jacksplace: I agree with your sentiment: "Idiot light" ... more to go wrong etc. But when said light is not "ON" when you replace tyres...WTF should you accept it being "ON" after paying damn good money for replacing tyres? Huh?
I need to check the tire sensors on one vehicle which I have to put a new battery in and hope all is fine with them. The last time I had one of the lights come on while driving the vehicle with the sensors in them it was a tire which had low air pressure and I solved that problem easily.
This tire pressure system is a major pain in ass just something more to go wrong with your car. I'm not paying over 100 dollars to replace a damn sensor. I'll just keep my eye on my tires.
Tire sensors on Amazon $15-$30. Most tire stores will break the bead and install the new sensor for $10 (Tire Kingdom here in Florida). Programming a new sensor is easy, either by cloning, which was shown here, or relearning, which the vehicle relearns the new sensors which would be faster. An easier tool to use is the Autel TS508 or 408. Some auto parts stores will rent the tool or let you use it for free. Also note there are two types of TPMS systems. Those that have sensors in the wheels are called “direct” TPMS. And vehicles that do not have sensors in the wheels are called “indirect” TPMS, like the newer Honda Accord. It uses the ABS system to calculate tire pressure.
Can u use your spare tire sensors and put it on your regular rim to save some money? Also how much do they cost on average I have a Toyota tundra thanks Jeff
Hi Jeff No that will not work because the TPMS system needs to check the pressure for all 5 tires if it has one on the spare tire. To replace one sensor approximately $100.00-$150.00.
Great video. I really like the way you explained clearly and step by step from start to finish. wonderful job. I will watch more of your videos. Please keep posting more. Thanks.
Thanks, that was awesome, you really handled ll the details and I appreciate your video, your experience, your professional and easy to follow and super complete - love it, Keep it up!!!
Thank you Jim, that's Very good demonstration, I must say thank you for your advice, and I certainly learned something today., I have vehicles that can give me that problem, however i don't have the unit to check the sensors, but the advice is good. thanks again, Manny.
You want to know why there isn't a stand-alone self charging design? Because someone patented that idea some time ago and has sat on that patent ever since. I know about it only because I looked it up and stumbled across a patent for it.
I got installed the new tires and now I start getting this TPM light . I had no issue before what so ever, I Checked the tire pressure which was ok. Every time it resets when I turn off and restart my vehicle but pops up again while driving on highway.
"Ach du lieber, mein schatz"! Thank you sir for an excellent AND educational video!! Now I can appreciate WHY these sensors are so expensive. They're not just a simple air valve! Thank you too for talking like the gentleman you seem to be! You sound like you may be from the east, maybe a New Yorker. If so, my sympathy!! I trust you are NOT a democrat!!! You made my late night time on my tablet very worthwhile! Mr.Thickey has schpoken! "Gesundheit"!!!
@@deeneyugn4824 You are missing the point with your flippant remark: There is good new technology and there is ridiculous new technology. TPMS falls soundly into the latter category. Simply pointless.
@@johngilles9371 - 😂😂 and a really annoying BEEP BEEP BEEP that never ends until you replace the “TPMS Sensor Malfunction Indicator Bulb Burned Out Bulb”
Thanks for the excellent detailed video Jim. I'll just put a piece of electrical tape over that idiot light. The tires are only 10 years old with 15,000 miles on them. My father used to tell me, "no need to get new tires until you can see the steel belt." He died a millionaire. Left me a freaking 30-30 Winchester. Thanks dad. Now I can go buy a tire.
So here is my question. What happens 3 years later when the sensor you replaced goes bad. How do you find the sensor number because it's not printed on the replacement sensor,
You know You are right .I never thought about that.I will in the future make sure to put the number on the customers bill Thank you for pointing that out.
Perhaps find a way to mark it on the sensor itself as well - Most customers aren't going to keep that bill for more than a few days. Great video! I really appreciate the information.
@@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.
Before you go to all of this trouble, you should add the correct amount of air to all 4 tires plus the spare tire in the trunk, then drive for 20 minutes and the light should go off, just remember to check the spare tire and add air if needed, bc the spare tire has a sensor inside of it also. Most people forget to check and add air to the spare.
YOU MADE IT LOOK VERY SIMPLE THATS THE SIGN OF A REAL PRO. i HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. DOES THE SCANNER YOU USE TELL YOU WHAT FREQUENCY THE SENSOR IS ?
Hi Jim - Good repair - Starting in what years did they start to install tire senors Suppose a person wants a tire rotation will that hand held device show what tire sensor goes on what side of the car ?
Jim talks about the battery going bad. if its a dry cell battery, that'd be pretty severe, as he's expecting it back for one of the other 3 tire sensors
How much cost the tool

Jim, thanks for the lesson, I’ve had my 2010 crv for 9 years and one of them has started the TPMS light to come on and go off on it’s own.
Yeah, replace a $65 sensor rather than a $3 battery. Gotta LOVE the corruption......
You want to know why there isn't a stand-alone self charging design? Because someone patented that idea some time ago and has sat on that patent ever since. I know about it only because I looked it up and stumbled across a patent for it.
sure seen a bunch of vehicles with the TPMS light on since the cold weather has moved in here in Ohio, thanks for the video learned a couple of things
Your right about that .The other day I had at least 10 cars all with the light on but all were just due to the change in temperature.

Thank you too for talking like the gentleman you seem to be! You sound like you may be from the east, maybe a New Yorker. If so, my sympathy!! I trust you are NOT a democrat!!! You made my late night time on my tablet very worthwhile! Mr.Thickey has schpoken! "Gesundheit"!!!
Thanks for watching. Close but I'm from New Jersey
My grandpa lived 98 years without a tire sensor.
Ha ha ha, same as Fred Flintstone, heck his mobile didn’t need brake either.
@@deeneyugn4824 You are missing the point with your flippant remark:
There is good new technology and there is ridiculous new technology.
TPMS falls soundly into the latter category. Simply pointless.
@pan af Yeah...My tyre supplier wrecked one of mine and denied doing so. Until I asked why that one tyre now had a new valve stem installed. Mmm?
Patagualian Mostly why are you salty?
@@patagualianmostly7437 When the battery dies in the sensor the tire must be dismounted and remounted. totally ridiculous.
My shop is in New Jersey
Too many dam monitors on these new cars! Soon there’ll be a monitor on the monitors 🤪🤪🤪
A light that says *Your TPMS light is dead*
Time to replace the led in order to see if your TPMS is in good condition. Lol
They have built cars the way they want US TO BE! Tell me I am wrong in the USA?
@@jetfire97. TPMS Sensor Malfunction Indicator Bulb Buned Out, Bulb? lol
@@johngilles9371 - 😂😂 and a really annoying BEEP BEEP BEEP that never ends until you replace the “TPMS Sensor Malfunction Indicator Bulb Burned Out Bulb”
Thanks for the excellent detailed video Jim. I'll just put a piece of electrical tape over that idiot light. The tires are only 10 years old with 15,000 miles on them. My father used to tell me, "no need to get new tires until you can see the steel belt." He died a millionaire. Left me a freaking 30-30 Winchester. Thanks dad. Now I can go buy a tire.
Yes I used to wear the tires pretty thin but when I started commuting more on the highway I'd replace the tires a little earlier
Never fired a 30-30 but love lever action rifles I guess you wear your ear plugs when you fire it?
So here is my question. What happens 3 years later when the sensor you replaced goes bad. How do you find the sensor number because it's not printed on the replacement sensor,
You know You are right .I never thought about that.I will in the future make sure to put the number on the customers bill Thank you for pointing that out.
Glad to help, I was scratching my head over that.
Perhaps find a way to mark it on the sensor itself as well - Most customers aren't going to keep that bill for more than a few days. Great video! I really appreciate the information.
@@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.
I have sign up today on my accord 2011. Very nice and clear explanation. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped!
Before you go to all of this trouble, you should add the correct amount of air to all 4 tires plus the spare tire in the trunk, then drive for 20 minutes and the light should go off, just remember to check the spare tire and add air if needed, bc the spare tire has a sensor inside of it also. Most people forget to check and add air to the spare.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for info. I didn't know that shit
Like a Surgeon. Well done.
Jim, you’re the man!
YOU MADE IT LOOK VERY SIMPLE THATS THE SIGN OF A REAL PRO. i HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. DOES THE SCANNER YOU USE TELL YOU WHAT FREQUENCY THE SENSOR IS ?
Thank you for this.
Thank You Everybody for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste .. 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ☮ ❤🕊
Hi Jim -
Good repair -
Starting in what years did they start to install tire senors
Suppose a person wants a tire rotation will that hand held device show what tire sensor goes on what side of the car ?
Pete Moss I'm not positive but the sensor became very common around 2004 on most cars
Ok thank's Jim
2007 mandatory
Jim talks about the battery going bad. if its a dry cell battery, that'd be pretty severe, as he's expecting it back for one of the other 3 tire sensors
I found a rebuild kit for tpms schrader valve on ebay :TPMS Programmable Sensor Service Kit Schrader Automotive 20018. For $2.84 on 7-7-2018.
