How To: Replace TPMS Battery
HTML-код

- In this video I'll show you how to replace Toyota/Lexus Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor (TPMS) battery. If TMPS battery is low, then at the startup of vehicle, TPMS light will blink for several seconds and then become steady. Flashing TPMS light means that it is not able to communicate with one or more sensors.

BRAVO. Basically the tool that you used at 7:40 is called flash cutter. Highly recommended for these type of jobs.
you did a great job man. this is what I am looking for and finally I decided to buy a new one. i am not so skillfull as good as you. you are the best man
You covered every detail. I think I can do it now.
I understand changing the battery is not that much easy. Thanks for the video.!
Aw hell yeah! Awesome vid. Was worried id have to dismount the whole tire and a bunch of other non sense. Thx for the vid.
Nice video. It works on my Prius.
i would like to know where you got the holding tool to free up your hands while you were de-soldering. looks like it would come in handy for a lot of things. awesome video and thanks in advance.
Great! Thank you!
I have watched 3 other video's on this. Yours is the best. Very professional repair by comparison.
I agree

you're the Man!
Nice job man.
a LITTLE know how and a little patience are , next to a dog, man's best friend. Thanks for posting.. I will try this for my Indian when the time comes...
I can now take over the world! Thank you very much for this video!
Come on you only replace this item once every 10 years. What a waste of time.
berfect
Thank u alot
Excellent video. I would suggest you use electronics grade silicone or potting compound, however. Regular silicone contains an acid that could be corrosive to the components,
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take care in future.
Well done !!! Thank You
Thanks is great! Thanks!
So I learned it’s best just to replace the damn sensor lol thank you 😂
Great job. Please let me know what name the glue ( silicone )was. Thank you.
Good job
It costs $100.00 for 4 new sensors. Not worth my time but thank you for taking the time to share.
Plus $64 on up for a programmer
@@acib2003 Finally $164. You are moneyless hobo, am I right?
If you only change battery to original sensor and install a new baterry, you wont need to program the sensor again ?
Excellent !!!
Good video. Following your video I just replaced batteries in 2 of my 2010 RX350's TPMS Modules on the driver side. Only one had failed but after 12 years the others will soon follow. I'll do the other side when one of the remaining modules fails to communicate.
I also have 2010 rx350. Dealer quoted me $1150 for 4 new tpms today. Ridiculous. I may try this
Where did you buy the white silicone for your tpms sensor? Thanks.
To do this you have to be a dedicated diy'er who likes a challenge and the satisfaction of saving some bucks at the same time. Many tire shops charge around $50 to $75 for the new TPMS sensor and installation of it per tire. It's nice to know that fixing it is possible. Maybe. Thanks
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing
If you ask me - I don’t need them - we drove cars prior to the technology for years !!!!!!! Always rely on your skills and inspection daily and best of all change tires when you need to . Thanks for the video
If you say you inspect your car daily, you’re a liar.
One thing you should ad is weigh the TPMS Sensor before and after so they weigh the same as this could effect your tire balancing
I don’t think so.
If you’re replacing a battery with the same battery and removing silicone and replacing silicone, any weight difference would be extremely minimal.
Balancing tires there is a plus/minus in weight, so it’s not exact anyway.
For people who say, "oh just buy a new sensor". Well this video is not for everybody, some people would find this useful. Personally I wouldn't care about the sensor, just came by curiosity. I just keep a portable air compressor in my trunk and a tire pressure gauge. And I check my tires regulary
Just buy a new vehicle
A new sensor for a Honda GoldWing is $181.00 plus tax and shipping for each. This is a good hack for me.
Thanks a lot .... Subs
Very nice video - unfortunately I need details for a Hyundai 😏
I really enjoy watching your video. I do have a question , I own a 15 yr old 2005 Chrysler Crossfire which is made by Mercedes Benz. The Crossfire is basically a Mercedes SLK. My tire pressure sensors were bad when I bought the car in 2018 . I had read they are difficult to repair. Once the sensors batteries are replaced will the light go out or do you need to reprogram them which I read is difficult to do I wish you could take one of these from a Chrysler Crossfire and rebuild it I would love to watch you rebuild it . And once these are rebuilt will the factory units that came with my car, will they work or need to be reprogrammed . Thank you for your awesome videos with each of these fancy options on new cars fail we need to be able to fix our own cars with easily to follow videos like yours. You are so patient THANK YOU : ) CHEERS
Thanks Ryan, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Technically speaking, for any TPMS sensor, if you only change the battery, you don't need to reprogram and it will automatically show up again. For this particular sensor, when I changed the battery and installed it again I did not have to do anything else.
@@theDiYwizard thank you for your response : ) the sensors for my car look so different than what you repaired are the type used in my car difficult to repair ??
@@ryanreynolds7771 just buy a set of new ones and reprogram them. iy isn't hard
Thanks for your information
If i replace the battery do i have to go to dealership for reprogramming
Or will the circuit board remember the code??
Can I use RTV silicone. They use it for gaskets so I know its good for high Temps.
Where did you buy the BR2450A battery from? I found it on an online store but it says it can not be shipped to the USA.
So hey wizard I got a bad sensor on one side
Of my Toyota Prius. Have a good working sensor in my other Prius exact model will switching the wheel and Programming remove the flashing tpms
Thank you for showing it can be done, but unless its the last TPMS in the world I'll just get a new one.
Question I when to buy new tire I noticed that they removed something no sure yet if they're took the sensor how I know if they took it the lights no come and you can't see inside
What TPMS' battery size for a 2011 Hyundai Tucson GLS?
Welp this video helped me realize i need to get the thing out first. Guess ill just take it to the shop for a dumb ass sensor
The batteries only last about ten years, some only 5 years. This is good information
Are you going to drive the car until you die? I am. I bought a Focus '07 new and the tpms has malfunctioned for yrs. Cost me way too much $$, but this is way, way too much work for someone my age (nearing 80). The cost of tools, equipment, labor taking the tires off, breaking them down, extracting the tpms gadget, working all the and then putting it all back together. Better go to medical school so you can drive a Rolls and hire a mechanic.
Awesome! Question though. How is the circuit board connected to the stem? I don't understand the mechanism for it to know the pressure
I bought compatible units on aliexpress and they work fine. Plus they cost the same as 4 new batteries and the epoxy to close the thing.
I think the benefit here is in the longevity and peace of mind knowing its OEM. Aliexpress has good options but they don't last as long as OEM which can last almost 10 years
@@Ostentatious24 I own some (incorporated into the rim) from Aliexpress that are ten years old and still work perfectly.
But it cost more than 4 batteries from Aliexpress.

In power supplies and electronics, we call that silicone "potting compound."
Thanks Emmett, I did not know that. BTW, you've got some good content too, I subscribed your channel :)
@@theDiYwizard I don't upload much, but thank you!
Hello theDiYwizard! How long do these battery changes last once completed. Its been 4 years since this vid, are the sensors still working??
where did you get the battery
What about using a heat gun to soften the white stuff to make it easier?
Silicone is Heat-Resistant
I would think that the sensor needs clear passage (access ) to the tire pressure. When you seal it back with silicone, aren’t you isolating the sensor from the tire pressure? This could explain the other person’s comment about low reading(?) Also, can regular silicone withstand tire temperatures? I thought it would be something similar to epoxy(?). Thank you
Silicone is good to 500 degrees, high temp silicone is good for 600. If your tires are anywhere near that hot, you have a problem
@@EricFixalot EXACTLY CORRECT
The hole for access to the pressure is on the other side from where the silicon is thus it should not be in contact with it. That’s what it looks like on mine
Would CR2450HR batteries work on Toyota/ Lexus TPMS sensor ?
CR2450HR has the same (or very similar) specs as the OEM baterries. I would think it should work.
They REALLY want you to buy the entire unit rather than just replace a battery. I suppose it's designed to survive the rotational forces it faces in a wheel but Dayum! I didn't check the cost of the battery yet, but an entire replacement module can be had (for my honda CR-V) for just under $30, and I have a friend with a tire shop who would let me use his press to get to it and re-bead the tire. That, to me, is the bugaboo about replacement of anything interior to the tire, the whole deflating/unbeading/rebeading, and with a new sensor I'm pretty sure I'd want to get them balanced too. For others, GM and several other manufacturers replacements are really less expensive, down to the $13 range. If ANYone knows whether they're really manufacturer specific or not please let me know. That little test device is pretty costly, sadly, so determining which sensor could be bad is one thing, but since they begin to fail after 7 or so years I'd probably do them all, anyway. Battery driven, with little easy replacement of the battery. Just, wow. Good video, good detail, this is a reasonably involved process and you did every piece.
For $ 13, you have all 4 batteries. fr.aliexpress.com/item/4000318359695.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.7da318bfERkkvW&algo_pvid=b876eaeb-9fb4-436d-9f75-38e28cb2181d&algo_expid=b876eaeb-9fb4-436d-9f75-38e28cb2181d-0&btsid=0bb0624116054677201936276e5350&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
@@Legaumaisdsts From Russia
Good information, but you need to turn the exposure down on the camera so we can see the part.
the sensor is already gone so its worth taking on the challenge and trying. its fun too.
Fun? You're a missing link.
How do you know which sensor to buy to replace the sensor that's bad
If you looking to buy a new sensor, you can usually search for your vehicle model/year and find the part number for it. You can also take it out and read the part number on it. I can normally find used ones or refurbished ones on eBay.
It looks that it will be much easier to replace the sensor rather than the battery.
It is. However, it is not cheaper. Some of these sensors go for $190 each while the battery can be less than $10.
DIY GREAT
Your detailed explanation is appreciated but I believe that this repair is going too far in the sense that the shock-resistance of the assembly can get compromised and create problems later.
Anyone knows the battery size for 2011 Hyundai Tucson?
How did you thin the silicon?
I mix it with mineral spirits. You can watch the steps in my video ruclips.net/video/r0E7n5UkMDw/видео.html
jajajaja when you said "Mineral Spirits" i thought that you were joking... and then i saw the video... YES THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED MINERAL SPIRITS! jajajaj
I have this sensor in my 2012 Corolla, but the stem damaged. Are there any kits that will be able to repair the stem/tip?
No, I don't think you can change the stem, you have to buy a new/refurbished one. Here is refurbished ones you can buy for cheap rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575492329&toolid=10001&campid=5338496761&customid=&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FSET-of-4-Toyota-Lexus-Scion-3729A-PMV107J-TPMS-Tire-Pressure-Monitor-OEM%2F222234757476%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%253AMEBIDX%253AIT%26_trksid%3Dp2060353.m1438.l2649
Next time you replace your tires, ask the mechanic to replace the sensors with $2 regular valves and you don't have to go broke just wanting to turn off the PTMS light in the dash. Technology is one thing but when you have to spend hundreds of dollars just to turn some idiot light off, I'd rather stick to my 84 Volvo...Good video though.
Will the TPMS light keep on if the sensors can not be detected?
The car will fail it's MOT if you take out the sensors.
@@ItsFrusciantesGhost YES IT WILL, BUT WHO GIVES A DAMN THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO RUN.
@@bpetnoi1472 people that don't want to risk being pulled over by the police and fined £100 for not having a valid MOT might give a damn, genius.
@@ItsFrusciantesGhost I have not idea what you are talking about
👏 😀 DIY
Did it work after the silicone dry out??
My concern is because the silicon looks too liquid, with new battery is voltages going thru may damage the sensor? Just wondering. Thanks
I have since done four others and all of them are working on my two cars. No issues. You can use silicone without diluting it too, just you have to push it in all corners and crevices.
Voltage doesn't flow through the silicon it flows in the wires just like any insulated wire.
@@bpetnoi1472 actually my concern it was about the thinner used to thin the silicone, I know thr silicon by it self is an insulation. But thanks
@@ragdepc I understand your concern, but these thinners are usually very volatile and evaporate quickly. Personally if I was ever to do this DIY repair I would just use straight silicon
What is the polarity in the bord? Where is "+" and where is "-" in the bord?
Polarity is marked on the board, it is hard to see in the video but it is there.
Replaced mine and took to a tire place to verify it works.. they cannot communicate with or wake up the sensor ☹️
Probably cheap eBay china
Did you replace the sensor or the battery?
I was about to fix mine but trashed it.
How long did it take you to get the batteries? They come from china. I ordered them on 8/16/19 and today makes 11 days and they have not arrived and the tracking claims September 20th currently. That would be over a month. I hope it doesn't take that long. That is the only drawback I see to changing the batteries myself.
Yes, that is definitely the bottleneck. I order stuff frequently from China (iPhone parts) and sometimes they come in like 5-7 days, sometimes they take 4-8 weeks. These batteries I checked, came in, in about two weeks but it always depends. For me it was worth it because once this battery dies in one tire, others follow soon. Between my two cars, I have changed 7 so far. So definitely worth the wait as you save a lot of money.
Right. Its hard to be patient when we can get amazon stuff within 24 hours of ordering and also my car is harrassing me every day about the sensor.
@@conradtaylor9476 Lol, I hear ya!
Update, the batteries arrived and I pulled out the sensor and swapped batteries and reinstalled the sensor and the car sees the sensor, unfortunately the sensor now reports about 10 psi low. So I have the tire at 33 psi which is the manufacturer recommendation and the sensor is saying 23 and the low tire pressure alarm is on. I don't want to run the tire at 43 psi to get the sensor to read right. Have you ran into this with your swaps. Does the silicone used have any impact on the sensor? I noticed the entire sensor is cover by the silicone which is concerning. What do you think?
update, after a week the sensor is now reporting only 2-3 psi low. Still not liking that but at least it is not tripping the low pressure alarm.
good thing you are wearing those gloves...……..lol
Where buy silicone
Auto stores & Lowes
in the garbage can they go...!!!
That is definitely one way to deal with it :)
Not really. You have to dispose of it properly.
You can purchase 4 complete sensors off of ebay or amazon for $40.
thats way cheaper than what the dealship is asking. but dont you have to reassign the replacements to your car? i dont think i can eat the cost of that diagnostic/scan tool right now.
I just got my new wheels why does it still how
Sorry, I don't understand your question.
It needs to be programmed to work with your car, take it to the shop
Or.... You purchase a new one for a nominal charge. To go to this extent to save a few dollars, is insane. Good detailed video though.
Do you have number of battery?
Panasonic BR2450A
he did say it in the video
I bought four new sensors for a total of $100 for my BMW on Ebay. Reprogram it and you are good to go. Yes, you can do all of these steps to replace a battery with no guarantee that it will work for any period of time. These sensors were never designed to be reused after a dead battery.
Please explain why the sensors are not to be used with new batteries.
@@Sunnysky321 You can certainly replace the batteries. My point is that the sensors are in a sealed case and not designed to replace the batteries. Once you open the outer shell, you risk moisture penetration, which is very likely because it it is mounted in a wheel where it will be exposed to water and snow regularly and constantly moving and vibrating. The trouble and expense involved in doing this is not beneficial when you can buy aftermarket replacement sensors for $100.
@jerseyneil1 sometime , DIY is fun , bro . And not nothing sure Aftermarket sensors will work well like EOM . Services money is the reason they seal the battery that way .
Thanks
ia it not easier to buy a replacement. alrhough i understand why someone would want to replace the battery
Toyota TPMS set on Ebay.. 37.99.. and they worked perfect.. save the trouble
You're a dumbass & stop posting misleading information. Yeah, sure, a set of TPMS sensors are ~$50 off ebay, BUT you're forgetting the cost of reprogramming the new TPMS sensors to the TPMS computer in the vehicle. The TPMS scan tool runs over $200 and if you want the dealer to do it is $100 per tire (including sensor). You cannot just simply swap to a new sensor and expect it to work. Each sensor has a unique ID that must be registered to the car. This is why this video is so helpful, as all you need to do is replace the battery without reprogramming. YOU DUMB FUCKING IDIOT.
19.99. garage did it for 15 dollars. Took the tire off and programmed the sensor.
The cheap OEM Toyota sensors on eBay are NOS (new old stock). They could be older than the ones you’re replacing. Might last 5 years, might be DOA.
@@c0mputer Its sensors are perishable, that's why the date is written on it.
Great video I admire your patiance! But these sensors are FKNING ridiculous! They must but made in slave camps sadly. It really appeared that all that unnessasary silicone was just to keep people from fixing and replacing batteries when need be!!!!
Yup it is painful to scrape that!
Compressed air contains water, that is why you have to drain your air compressor tank after use. The sealant is there to prevent corrosion.
Of course this is for a Lexus/Toyota. what he's not showing is... taking off the tires and wheels from the vehicle, so we have a jack to do that. Now,, we need to get the tire off the rim, so lets all go out and buy a tire machine, I'm sure you could find one for a few hundred. then we can get the sensor battery or even a new sensor for about $35. then we can get the TPMS diagnostic device, which is what, 50? 75? maybe over $100??? Yeah, well I'll be bringing my car to a professional who knows what he's doing and has all the tools and equipment. Thanks anyway Mr Wizard.
My God man! Now remove the other 3 sensors and replace the battery in those! What a mess! Just replace the complete sensor.The sensors are not that expensive on Amazon.
And then the battery on those go dead in less than a year or worse arrive already dead. I do agree thats a lot of work to go through but Amazon has had issue with selling faulty sensors
My God man! You are a goof.
Also, prices in some places on the planet are just ridiculous.
Too muck work
0:51 ты думаеш я чтото увидел????
That's a mess, I don't know that I will indulge.
All that work you could just have bought a new tpms sensor and programmed it to the vehicle.
some people does not like to pay around $100 for such a job.
Hm'd -Sensors are on average only $25 each. I bought mine at rock auto. I agree- even as a mechanic- you should NOT take this approach. You might be able to pull it off- but you have no guarantee that it will last. Just buy a new sensor- for $25- this effort is not worth it.
@@daveycrockett9447 some people like the challenge and learning process. Yeh it could fail and cause some other frustrations but the cost is a lot for these things
Master Tech who taught me said. “Do You wish to be a technician or a parts changer?” He always tore down every part to see what failed.
Just buy a new sensor it’s only 60 bucks install 84
multiply by 5 and you are at $420. My local tire shop quoted 100 per tire for the sensor and install. That's 500 total. That is a lot of money! Five batteries is $20. Big difference!
My experience is same as Conard, I have replaced them in 7 tires and the tire shop quoted me $90 per tire!
Plus any new sensor will never reprogramming
@@cesarramirez7619 what?
@@conradtaylor9476 sensors need to be programmed for your car if you buy them new. You can't just install them and expect them to work.
Excellent video. Definitely not worth it since a pack of 4 pre-programmed costs only $50 ($12.5 each).
What are you driving while doing this repair? Buy new ones.
The problem is, finding the defective sensor among the four tires.
The MaxiTPMS is easy to use. Itll locate the bad one(s) easily
@@zayneali3148 Can it detect the bad TMS when it's on the tire?
A new Autel programmable sensor is $25. This definitely isn't worth it.
Such a pain in the ass
To much work ...
I can buy new sensors cheaper than the batteries on amazon.
If you think those will last I have some property to sell you on the moon. Serious I think you will get what you paid for. How did they last?
what,s with the gloves.............dr. no !!!!
Just buy a new one 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
YES YES YES THIS
LOL BUY NEW!
what a waste of time, just buy new ones.
What a waste on time, toss it
white cx3 wow I agree. Spend $1000 of my own time or pay $35 and get a new sensor. No brainer.
4 done in an hour. What do you do to make a $1000.00 an hour? It’s not worth it for me because so make $70.00 an hour.
It looks like you cracked the circuit board when you were prying it out. Also, your video is overexposed. I can't see any of the detail on the bright white tpms sensor. Stop using automatic exposure control and switch to manual.
