After the replies on my previous thread wandered off somewhere, I put the most probable source of the alarm in my 2009 without a spare tire sensor on the four sensor batteries. Those must exist very modest, and afterwards +/- 8 years (not counting shelf time), not difficult to imagine them getting weak. I wonder if there is a manner to check'em.....
Has anyone gone through the process of having them replaced? Curious what the job requires. Do the tires demand to exist dismounted? If so, too bad I didn't know most it a few months ago at the new tires recently put on.
Gotta beloved engineering,.... And but waiting for this Artificial Intellegence to start coming on strongER, it's in the news and scary!

turn off TPMS and savour
Or spend the money on new TMPS sensors and get it programmed which requires tire removal
ebay has new ones for 80-160 a set up

If "Turn off TPMS..." Was simple, I'd do it. Not interested in the wiring changes listed on this board to plow it off. Too bad Toyota gives the owners a organization that volition at some point crusade them trouble, with NO simple mode out except $$$$$. (5$, equals four sensors+dealer!)
Institute this on a web search, amongst many others....... Interesting if you lot want to see what they look like.

You cannot replace the batteries. You have to replace the sensors. Here is what the inside looks like.

Batteries are not replaceable. Any shop should have the capabilities to scan each sensor to see if information technology'due south dead or alive. Do it all the fourth dimension

Never understood the sensors for everything. Merely something else to suspension and cost money. I tin can buy 40 of those pen gauges for the toll of 1 sensor. Or I'll just buy ane good digital guess to read my tires. They way people are today amazes me. What did people practice to check their tire pressure before sensors?

I saved a buncha coin by.... just dealing with the light in the dash. I have the TPMS sensors from my stock wheels and perhaps eventually build the pipe to contain them merely I'one thousand not that worried most it.

Installed Overhead Compass and Temperature Display forth with outside temperature sensor and wiring; LED lights reverse fill-in; LED license plate lights; Added GTA Bluetooth Audio kit to stock radio for iphone audio; Spare tire steel braided air hose extension connection to rear bumper; Installed new headlights along with new bulbs PIAA H4 XTreme and for fog lights PIAA H10 XTreme bulbs. Installed new hood with "hood-scoop". Installed Predator Side Steps. Replaced front chrome grill with customized color matched (Desert Sand Mica) grill with added TOYOTA lettering (also in matched color), installed and secured tailgate anti-theft devices. As well installed a new external TPMS monitor for all iv tires.

Toyota's TPMS OEM sensor's accept a life span of anywhere from 8-x yrs. After that well the dreaded tpms lite symbol on your dash volition just be in that location, staring at y'all, abrasive your donkey.
And so either just deal with it or practise something well-nigh information technology by (1) just strongly ignoring it?......... (two) simply embrace it up?........(three) just disconnect it?......or.....(4) replace all four sensor's (five if your spare has one) and as someone else has already mentioned, have the new ones reprogrammed, etc., the toll? .....well not cheap either $.

Forget about going cheap and trying to replace the batteries on them because that won't work either and even "if" you were to supersede the batteries on them, the organisation would "yet" need to be reprogrammed so basically.......your screwed.

I think they waited until it ran flat then bought a new motorcar...
it has zippo to do with you lot or me, but the largest number of vehicle owners are idiots
and Ford spec crap tires at 28psi, and people died from tire failures because...they never bank check tire pressure
or practise a vehicle walk effectually every time they drive...then they murdered the tires from constant depression pressure
until they rip apart and ....crash at speed
it is a Federal mandate that all cars and truck must have TPMS when sold. if vehicle doesn't
take TPMS then TPMS must be retrofitted.
I believe you forgot the part almost 2007 and upwardly are required by federal law. There'southward no style I'k putting a tpms system in my 83 Toyota to sell information technology.

If somebody died from not checking their tire pressure level then that'due south just natural selection. Information technology's merely a 30k dollar piece of machinery your withal making payments on. Why would y'all want to have care of it? I say remove all alert labels and safe devices from everything and let's but permit the idiots off themselves. Imagine the lanes opening upward on the highway at blitz hour.

Only pulled this broken sensor out of a Porsche Panamera. (Ugliest "supercar" on the planet)

Pabloeeto and Jere similar this.
I like the look of that car. One of the few Porsches that doesn't wait like a beetle.

information technology's not DIY unless you can remove the tire and remount yourself.
my local toyota changes $175 for an OEM replacement and labor
The issue with Ford and Firestone tires, mainly on the Explorer, is much more complicated than the owner non checking the tire pressure. Ford specified 26 psi originally, which was too low, causing extreme overheating of the tire and lots of tire failures at high speeds, and many deaths. At that place were besides problems on the Firestone side in the manufacturing procedure. Read all about it hither: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestone_and_Ford_tire_controversy
I personally prefer no sensors, but other than folks here at TW and other "enthusiast" sites/clubs, most drivers don't accept a inkling. And, thanks to computer engineering, there is no end in sight every bit far equally nanny sensor/devices are concerned. Y'all tin't argue the potential prophylactic aspects of V2V and V2I engineering, but it also creates a lot of debate also. A little fun reading...

For my 2nd TMI post of the twenty-four hour period...
The commencement bus to adopt TPM was the Porsche 959 in 1986, using a hollow spoke wheel system adult by PSK.

In the The states, TPM was introduced by General Motors for the 1991 model year for the Corvette in conjunction with Goodyear run-flat tires. The organization used sensors in the wheels and a driver display which tin can show tire pressure at any bike, plus warnings for both high and low pressure. It has been standard on Corvettes ever since.

FYI - According to the statistics, for every 10% of under-aggrandizement on each tire on a vehicle, a 1% reduction in fuel economy will occur. In the United states of america alone, the Section of Transportation estimates that under inflated tires waste 2 billion The states gallons of fuel each year.

and... Under-inflated tires lead to tread separation and tire failure, resulting in 40,000 accidents, 33,000 injuries and over 650 deaths per twelvemonth. Further, tires properly inflated add greater stability, treatment and braking efficiencies and provide greater safety for the driver, the vehicle, the loads and others on the road.
