Thank you. Literally everything on Google talks about the actual low tire pressure light when you Google TPMS light. Your video was the only thing I found actually talking about the “TPMS” light, not the low tire pressure light. 👍🏼
Man, I wished I’d seen this video sooner! I had this coming on and off during a long trip. I kept pulling over and checking my pressure every time it came on! Thanks for posting this.
2010 Honda Civic got the TPMS malfunction telltale light (initially got Horse Shoe Air low warning light for 5 mins of driving)and stayed on even after inflating the tire's. Even I thought one TPMS sensor could be bad and got an estimate of $250 for each sensor from the dealership. Then went to another top reviewed Auto shop near me to know their pricing. Team just verified all tires pressure and found few tires were over inflated, then brought all tires to 32PSI as per recommendation. After this mentioned me to drive for sometime, then I went about 4 miles and Surprisingly TPMS lamp got cleared on its own. Hopefully this experience will help someone to self diagnose before going for repair. Thank you.
Gracias x tu testimonio no se puede confiar en los mecánicos desgraciadamente muchos son muy DESHONESTOS está difícil ganarse el sueldo pero para nosotros también.
I was driving to work when my light turned on and I was so nervous until I saw your video! Thank you so very much!! I have a 2010 Honda civic so my car is even older than yours LOL Plus mine has 96,000 miles on it I’m hoping this bad boy will last me just a few more years!
me too lol so what should i do my steering wheel def goes to one side its anoying ? im buying car tomorow it def wont pass inspection with that problem im buying a 2010 honda civic coupe
Here is my experience on TPMS...my car Honda Civic 2008 was in snow for about three days and when I started driving it on fourth day, first five minutes I don’t see anything on dashboard and later I saw TPMS popped up on the dashboard so I took to discount tires and there they suggested to fill air in the tires to make sure the air pressure is all good and they have asked me to wait until 15 minutes or more to give it time and then see if that TPMS on dashboard will go away..that’s exactly what happened after around 30mins TPMS disappeared from dash board 😀😀
Ya i have a 2011 and the tpms light came on the day after i rotated my tires. He specificly told me the tire pressure is good so i dont know why the light came on but the cr is 10 years old. Im just gonna deal with the light i dont wanna spend 250!
Due to an accident, I had a new wheel and tire installed on my 2008 Honda Civic. The TPMS light then came on which I assumed was due to the sensor needing to be reset in the new wheel. I took it back to the body shop where they ran a scan and found two tires with low pressure. They inflated the tires and the TPMS light went off. Strange that the low tire pressure light did not come on. My owners manual says if the TPMS light is on the system will shut off and no longer monitor tire pressure.
You mentioned twice that the TPMS is still working. My TPMS light has been on for almost 2 years and I have had numerous flat tires and I never get the ! low tire pressure light anymore. It seems like it is NOT working now that there is an issue with the TPMS. It's not a huge deal because I check my tires pressure manually. Do you know what type of battery I would need for the sensor? I'll try to find a friend with a reader to see which TPMS sensor is dead.
Thank you so much , this light comes of and on in my car and you have eased my worries about it from watching this video. I actually just got new tires about 2 months ago and this tpms light started coming on last month
Awesome video! I have a 2009 Civic two door, 64k miles. Light came on... Good timing as I'm now looking to get 4 new rims as the current are beat up and one rim has balance issue where garage servicing said they would not place it on the front when time to rotate and I'm way past point to rotate.
Thanks for the video. My tires are good so my guess is that the battery really is dead. I’d rather just leave the light on as opposed to spending $150.
I just got new tires put on 3 days ago and the light was on. Unfortunately, I scheduled my day very tightly so after picking up my car, I didn’t have time to return to the shop to have it dealt with. Is this something that the shop should have seen and fixed? I wonder if it’s worth it to take the car back in to the shop for this? Is this usually included in new tire installation or is this a separate cost?
Even when the TPMS is working it doesn't indicate which tire is low. I have a $12 tire pressure gauge and use that to check my tire pressure. My Civic is a 2008 sedan and a few weeks ago the TPMS light came on. I called Honda and the price of replacing the sensors was about $200 each! I'll check my tire pressure once a month and save $$$$!
09 Civic and tire pressure (!) came on and filled the low tire and the light went off but next time in the car it was back so i figured i had a leak but checked and all tires good. Later the (!) symbol was replaced with the TPMS light so came here and just question tgat the system will work with this light on? I am old so checking the tires myself is what i am used to so will do that but does the dystem still work with TPMS lite on?
Yeah that's normal, I have the same 2011 Honda Civic LX. Light comes on in the winter goes off when it gets a little warmer and vice versa. It's a shame they took away our ability to reset. Dearships only want to make money off of folks like us.
That is normal because tire pressure changes up or down One PSI for every 10F change in *tire* temperature. In physics it's called the Gas Law. Above absolute zero (~453 F) applies to all gasses, air (20% O2 + 80% N2) included. If you set your TP in a 70F garage and then park overnight in 30F, next morning your cold tires will be ~4 PSI lower.
Couldn't turn it off, but at least your video was helpful to know it isn't a big deal or much of a problem. The other videos for this stuff are crap. Thanks bud.
Thank you Ryan, I appreciate you commenting! I hope you get it fixed. Mine is still on....lol probably will be for another few years as I have 60k mile tires on my ride.
TPMS systems are a pain in the butt. They were mandated by the US government in the Year 2007 because Ford Motor Company and Firestone Tire Company advised people to inflate tire pressure to 22 lbs in their Ford Explorers because they rode so bad. In hot climates many tires delaminated and fell apart and these vehicles rolled over at high speeds. Inexpensive over reaction on the part of government regulators.
It’s a helpful video. I was freak out when I still saw it after replacing two front tires but now I know it was one in the rear tires. It’s not a big deal! Thanks
is it common for a chime to coincide with TPMS light? My son has a 2011 honda ridgeline and this line came on today.... its getting cold outside... and it has this pesky chime like the one that you get when you dont have your seatbelt on. im searching everywhere i dont see where anyone has mentioned this chime.
Thanks for the great video! I drive a 2011 Honda Accord and I noticed the 'TPMS' light (not the low tire pressure indicator) coming on a few miles into driving. I was merging on to a freeway the other day and this fairly sized rock pops up on the freeway suddenly. I tried to swerve and avoid it, but couldn't and ended up driving over it. There was a truck driving in front of me, so I could not see the rock from distance. Luckily, my tires or the car's body were not damaged and hopefully there are no leaks. I am taking the car to a mechanic to check if there are any leaks or if there is any other damage not visible to the casual everyday driver from outside. If its just the TPMS sensor that has gone bad, I will leave it as is like you mentioned and get it fixed when I get the wheels aligned and rotated.
2011 Civic DX. TPMS light has been on for at least 6 years. Had tires and monitors changed and it never went out. I just check the tire pressure often, "like in the old days" and don't worry about it. No way I'm forking out a bunch of dough for a new TPMS unit.
Can you just replace the battery of the TPMS or have to get a whole new assembly. Because isn't it a closed assembly with no way to open it without breaking it?
gotta get a new sensor, and best to replace them all if it's been 10 years, as they will all go, one by one, anyway. and it's not cheap. all 4 with labor is around $500 at a dealer
Just had this come on today. I recently had new brakes installed and a new tire installed on my Civic - I could take this back to Belle Tire and have them take a look at this and resolve it for free, right? I could claim this is potentially related to the recent service? 🤔
No idea how this has 12 likes. He said the way to “fix” it is going to the dealer because these older Civics don’t have that computer configuration installed to manually clear it. Also he said that the battery on the sensor in the car could be low or dead and needs to be replaced which is why you’d go to a dealer that can change your tires and fix the sensor or replace the sensor battery since you’re already getting your tires removed and replaced AND he said this isn’t an urgent fix so do it when you can. Your tire pressure light, the almost full circle light with exclamation point, will still work and tell you if you have low air in one of your tires.
I have a 2009 civic and the instrument panel looks very much like the one on your video. The letters TPMS are lighted up even after inflating four tires. Aside from the dealer, can other shops like American Tire Depot fix this problem? Just thinking they charge less than the dealer.
@@riggedsportsnetwork6554 I brought my car to Walmart, American Tire Depot and Firestone shops, they said only the dealer can fix it (TPMS letters lighted) cause it has something to do with the car's computer setup. I called the dealer and diagnostic fee is almost 200 dollars which can go to the total cost of repair if you decide to have it fixed. But I don't know how much I will spend if I have dealer do the work. I suspect it can be pricey, as the diagnostic fee itself alone is already a lot of money. I just decided to leave it alone, and just check my tire pressure every 2 weeks or so. It is a common problem of Honda cars.
Seems my experience is same as others. The tpms letters came on shortly/1 day after getting new tires about 9 months ago. The tire place said they couldn't fix it as all the sensors were working. That it was something with the unit or computer and had to take to dealer. They assured me any flat would still show up as low pressure but that has not happened. Also $165 at dealer just to do a diagnostic and who knows how much it will cost to fix it.
@@sharonchang4103 My light came on right after I had my tires rotated. Kind of makes you think they messed up the TPMS. Not worth it taking it to the dealer and spending hundreds of dollars. Not that hard to see if your tires need air.
I had two tires replaced then a couple days later this tpms light turned on. It’s the first time I’m replacing tires on this car (i’m not the original owner). Is it normal for this light to come on after replacing tires??
To all owners.. Do yourselves a favor buy the scanner autel then put a new one in.. Follow all instructions.. Very simple. The tool will pay for itself once you know how to do it. Scanner comes with 2 sensors I believe. However, it only works with autel sensors but you can fix any make and model.
So I got “aftermarket” (not stock) wheels/tires and I bought the TMPS sensors as an add-on, so could this mean all four are “bad”? Do o need to have them programmed? I thought that if I add them that’s all I need to do and it will calibrate itself with the car or something... idk lol
What I need to learn is how to fix the TPMS when all senders are sending signals. I just had 4 new tires installed. The senders are all good, but the TPMS light is always on.
thanks for the video! this helps a lot :) definitely placated me. but i do have something i hope to consult you about... my TPMS light came on 5 days after i installed and then rotated my tires at Goodyear. after i took it back and had them check again they found nothing wrong (they deal with TPMS everyday apparently) but just a mismatched tire-pressure difference between fronts & rears. they told me the light should go off on its own after i drive it for a bit. however, it's still on now that i've driven 20+ miles. so maybe the sensor turned bad, but i just feel confused. do you happen to also know if the light can go out automatically in case of a disinflation?
He is right about it that even after you inflate the tires sometimes it can take 5-10 minutes of driving to reset. I might also try: -First thing is take it to a real dealer and have them "Scan" the car and see what the error code is throwing, then go from there. If you do not want to go to dealer try: -disconnect your negative on the battery and this will reset everything, maybe that fixes it -check your tires again make sure enough air. -maybe bad battery or sensor.
I bought a 2011 ex 4 doors Honda Civic, it didn't come with the sensors if I buy them online do you guys think that it will work immediately or it needs to be installed by a certified technician
hmmmm not sure. It may have them and they just did not "activate" them. For example when I bought this car, they said to you want the "alarm" enabled for some $$$ and I passed, supposedly there is an alarm already on it. You can always add after market ones as well.. In my opinion its not worth it, but you can try if you want.
never have, and they are probably messed up because this car was in a front end crash...going to run this car in the ground. I bought it for 3k, 2 years ago was salvaged.
Thanks drew. Funny thing is I see a lot of people like to Rev to much on these cars, it tends wear out mounts quickly although I don't drive like that.
Had no problems with my accord 09 Mecanic put air in tires and the light came on dealership said tires perfect if it doesn’t reset itself it’s the sensor, can heat make it come on?
Why would they charge you to take the tires out? Unless they are Plastic Man and they can stretch and go around tires , they have to remove it to work on it.
No necessarily. The TPMS sensors are integrated with the valve stems. If you move the valve stems from the original wheels to the aftermarket rims, the TPMS system should function normally.
I think when you replace tires and the TPMS sensor letters comes on it means the tech forgot to reset it. All they do is use a remote and reset it, done.
Beware people will try anything to scam. I changed all my tires out and asked if they can replace it as well but the mechanic (Firestone) said they can’t when changing my tires it has to be a separate thing so they can charge more. You can order the part off eBay for cheap and do it yourself. Beware bc mechanics are certified to fix and scam.
There is a battery in one of the tpms sensors starting to go bad. Generally toe sensor batteries are servicable. Most tire stores will be able to sell you a sensor and put it in the wheel for between 45 and $65. Forget the $150 dealership fee b.s.
Finally a video that shows the exact same light on my 2010 accord! Lol just bought some factory Honda stocks and light is still on. Guessing the battery is dead or bad sensor sooo ima try my best to figure this out and let you know. I hate having dash lights even my check engine light on bugs me lol
DrewTalks yesss according to my tire shop. Batteries in the tire sensors last about 5-6 years. eBay has them for like $50-80 , depends on brand, for a complete set that I’ll prolly get and when I need to replace my tires, I’ll have the tire shop install them, free of charge since they gotta put a new plug anyways. Easy fix, hope that helps!
My girlfriend's car had bad tires. We replaced the tires and rim from a Similar honda. The light came on because the rims did not have the that pressure gauge. I'm guessing it's going to be left on
Thanks this video helps a lot. I have the same year, model, around the same mileage. I've never had any problems before and this sounds like an easy fix.
drew. I'm not sure you made a big enough deal about: TELLING PEOPLE TO MANUALLY CHECK THEIR PRESSURE with a pressure gauge!!! bro. it could just be low pressure. it could be that someone will watch your video and them drive on a flat tire. it could be someone dies. just saying.
I don't think you're correct when you said that when the "TPMS" light is on... that the rest of the system is working. My manual for my 2011 Civic expressly says that when that light is on, the entire system in not functioning. So none of the tires will trip the other "tire low" light... even if they're low.
Everytime you go to dealership for any little thing it's like $1000 plus labor plus hour plus tax plus the time you talked to them plus whatever they searched up too expensive I'll just leave it as is
same millage but a 2010. Dose it have to be a dealership to fix it? how about any mechanic? don't they have tools for it. we're not replacing a ecm here, just a battery in a tire. hahaha thanks!
Not sure, call and ask, the light might just go off if you replace the battery. If it doesnt just get the battery replaced go to the dealer and tell them you want it reset, they should not charge you for that.
. The donut spare was put on and after the spare was on for 10 miles or so the TPMS light came on. The other day I got a new tire and they said one tire was not working so I told them to fix it for 65 bucks. So the light was still on after they worked on it but the guy said it probably would go off after driving a half hour. Well it's the next day and it's still on so I'll have to take it back in to the tire place.
When I got my honda off a dealer that light was already on. I told the dealer what was it he said just for tire pressure never fixed it 3 year later its still on.

@@jasonbarnes2636Yeah, I don’t think it is either
@@xmanofficial Well of course it's always better to fix it cause at least one of your tires will not be letting you know if they sre low on air.

@@mcimd8229 You can see if your tires are low on air. Not sure if we really need TPMS.
I had two tires replaced then a couple days later this tpms light turned on. It’s the first time I’m replacing tires on this car (i’m not the original owner). Is it normal for this light to come on after replacing tires??
I dont think so, if they do not turn off i would go back and complain
Thanks@@drewtalks. I went back and it turned out one of the sensors was cracked when they replaced the tires!
@@carolabney Nice! Glad you found the culprit!
To all owners.. Do yourselves a favor buy the scanner autel then put a new one in.. Follow all instructions.. Very simple. The tool will pay for itself once you know how to do it. Scanner comes with 2 sensors I believe. However, it only works with autel sensors but you can fix any make and model.
So I got “aftermarket” (not stock) wheels/tires and I bought the TMPS sensors as an add-on, so could this mean all four are “bad”? Do o need to have them programmed? I thought that if I add them that’s all I need to do and it will calibrate itself with the car or something... idk lol
What I need to learn is how to fix the TPMS when all senders are sending signals. I just had 4 new tires installed. The senders are all good, but the TPMS light is always on.
Doug Stahnke have you found a fix?
@@alejandrocortez3155 The Honda store says $250 will fix it. Not done yet.
@@dougstahnke7524 Buy a tire pressure gauge and do it the old fashioned way.
Maybe the spare.
thanks for the video! this helps a lot :) definitely placated me. but i do have something i hope to consult you about...
my TPMS light came on 5 days after i installed and then rotated my tires at Goodyear. after i took it back and had them check again they found nothing wrong (they deal with TPMS everyday apparently) but just a mismatched tire-pressure difference between fronts & rears. they told me the light should go off on its own after i drive it for a bit. however, it's still on now that i've driven 20+ miles. so maybe the sensor turned bad, but i just feel confused.
do you happen to also know if the light can go out automatically in case of a disinflation?
He is right about it that even after you inflate the tires sometimes it can take 5-10 minutes of driving to reset.
I might also try:
-First thing is take it to a real dealer and have them "Scan" the car and see what the error code is throwing, then go from there.
If you do not want to go to dealer try:
-disconnect your negative on the battery and this will reset everything, maybe that fixes it
-check your tires again make sure enough air.
-maybe bad battery or sensor.
Thanks so much, pal!
Thank you for clarifying my doubt about this light why I bring it on
Yeah I think I'll leave it until i change my tires. Thanks for the info bro ;)
happy to help!
I bought a 2011 ex 4 doors Honda Civic, it didn't come with the sensors if I buy them online do you guys think that it will work immediately or it needs to be installed by a certified technician
hmmmm not sure. It may have them and they just did not "activate" them. For example when I bought this car, they said to you want the "alarm" enabled for some $$$ and I passed, supposedly there is an alarm already on it. You can always add after market ones as well.. In my opinion its not worth it, but you can try if you want.
When is the last time you change motor mounts. I was about to make my purchase but it seems it's a common flaw. What a bummer. What your thoughts?
never have, and they are probably messed up because this car was in a front end crash...going to run this car in the ground. I bought it for 3k, 2 years ago was salvaged.
I am going to see if mine vibrates or not at a stop...
Thanks drew. Funny thing is I see a lot of people like to Rev to much on these cars, it tends wear out mounts quickly although I don't drive like that.
Yeah I do not drive like that, I understand its an economy car lol
Im wondering if its a fuse for me because the guy that tested said all of them were dead but how was it possible for all of them to die at once
They probably all expired at the same time if they all have the same dates.
Had no problems with my accord 09 Mecanic put air in tires and the light came on dealership said tires perfect if it doesn’t reset itself it’s the sensor, can heat make it come on?
It was over 100 here when tpms light came on
intersting, take it to a dealerhsip and see if they can reset it.
@@drewtalks it was a sensor I had it fixed at a tire shop!
How much did you pay for them to fix the sensor?
@@jessicabenavidez90 around $60
This showed me what I needed to know. Thanks!
Thank you! Do you know if it has to be done by the dealership? I may just take it and bite the bullet any who lol
they make make sensors you can buy not sure thouigh
Why would they charge you to take the tires out? Unless they are Plastic Man and they can stretch and go around tires , they have to remove it to work on it.
Thank you for easing my worries!
I have the same car just got new wheels & tires on it will it pass the smog I have around 54000 miles on it
I need to go to inspection the TPMS light can by a problem if is on?
Maybe, I was able to SMOG with it on.... and im in CA
Your link takes me to Amazon but it is a air filter.
What if you just had your tires changes and that TPMS is on now
Go back to the place and let them know they should fix it
So this happens once u put aftermarket rims on?
Potentially unless there is a work around
No necessarily. The TPMS sensors are integrated with the valve stems. If you move the valve stems from the original wheels to the aftermarket rims, the TPMS system should function normally.
So, this video is wayyyy to long to say "Go to thr Dealer". That could've been put in the description
Wait I just realized, if I went to a tire shop exchange it, that means they also threw away the sensor that was along with the tire??
Shit you might be right
No, This is mounted on the rim.
I think when you replace tires and the TPMS sensor letters comes on it means the tech forgot to reset it. All they do is use a remote and reset it, done.
Beware people will try anything to scam. I changed all my tires out and asked if they can replace it as well but the mechanic (Firestone) said they can’t when changing my tires it has to be a separate thing so they can charge more. You can order the part off eBay for cheap and do it yourself. Beware bc mechanics are certified to fix and scam.
This came on my 07 Pilot after a tire rotation
What does it mean if it comes on then a few seconds later goes off? Thanks.
It could be the battery slowly dieing or a connection problem
There is a battery in one of the tpms sensors starting to go bad. Generally toe sensor batteries are servicable. Most tire stores will be able to sell you a sensor and put it in the wheel for between 45 and $65. Forget the $150 dealership fee b.s.
The sensor batteries are not replaceable. But aftermarket sensors are not expensive.
Finally a video that shows the exact same light on my 2010 accord! Lol just bought some factory Honda stocks and light is still on. Guessing the battery is dead or bad sensor sooo ima try my best to figure this out and let you know. I hate having dash lights even my check engine light on bugs me lol
glad to help and offer some settling, it is scary to see new lights on the dash!
DrewTalks yesss according to my tire shop. Batteries in the tire sensors last about 5-6 years. eBay has them for like $50-80 , depends on brand, for a complete set that I’ll prolly get and when I need to replace my tires, I’ll have the tire shop install them, free of charge since they gotta put a new plug anyways. Easy fix, hope that helps!
Thank you I think the video was helpful but I want to know now why I cannot get my car into gear it can't go it's in park and it won't move
This video was no help at all to turn off the tea PMS light it’s just a guy talking
Thanks for this video. It saved me from going to my mechanic. I'm just going to leave that light on.
thank u so much, really appreciate your detailed introduction
Glad it was helpful!
Will past smog check with that light on??
Yes, I STILL have my light on and had my car smogged last year...
awesome video thanks you jsut saved me a trip to costco lol
Is That affect ur vehicle ?
no
My girlfriend's car had bad tires. We replaced the tires and rim from a Similar honda. The light came on because the rims did not have the that pressure gauge. I'm guessing it's going to be left on
yes, not a big deal been running mine with the light on for years! check your tire pressures every once in awhile with a manual gauge
Thanks this video helps a lot. I have the same year, model, around the same mileage.
I've never had any problems before and this sounds like an easy fix.
it is!
This has helped me a lot; thank you!
drew. I'm not sure you made a big enough deal about: TELLING PEOPLE TO MANUALLY CHECK THEIR PRESSURE with a pressure gauge!!! bro. it could just be low pressure. it could be that someone will watch your video and them drive on a flat tire. it could be someone dies. just saying.
Thank you! I feel better now!
You're so welcome!
I don't think you're correct when you said that when the "TPMS" light is on... that the rest of the system is working. My manual for my 2011 Civic expressly says that when that light is on, the entire system in not functioning. So none of the tires will trip the other "tire low" light... even if they're low.
Same with mines, although my car is a 2011 honda fit.
Well that was super informative, thank you!
Everytime you go to dealership for any little thing it's like $1000 plus labor plus hour plus tax plus the time you talked to them plus whatever they searched up too expensive I'll just leave it as is
same millage but a 2010. Dose it have to be a dealership to fix it? how about any mechanic? don't they have tools for it. we're not replacing a ecm here, just a battery in a tire. hahaha
thanks!
Not sure, call and ask, the light might just go off if you replace the battery. If it doesnt just get the battery replaced go to the dealer and tell them you want it reset, they should not charge you for that.
@@drewtalks i was told by the Honda delear
Youll need the tpms seniors fix in order for it to stop showing
Thanks for this, i just purchased a civic 2010 and it had this light on , was nervous i thought it had to do with the engine,....
Yeah its not a huge deal
. The donut spare was put on and after the spare was on for 10 miles or so the TPMS light came on. The other day I got a new tire and they said one tire was not working so I told them to fix it for 65 bucks. So the light was still on after they worked on it but the guy said it probably would go off after driving a half hour. Well it's the next day and it's still on so I'll have to take it back in to the tire place.
Yeah sorry to hear hopefully the tire place can help you
Used car dealer here. Tire monitoring systems suck. The sensors are always going bad.
i figure. i bet its good revenue stream for deales and tire service
Thank you, very informative
glad it was helpful
Mine On My 2010 Civic Started Right After I Got All 4 Tires Changed..
bruh i changed my tires 3 days ago and it popped up
The irony here is my sensors were fine until I had new tires installed. And here I am 6,500 miles later. *sigh*
DAMN! You should go back and complain
Wow!!!! Thank you for some great information!!!!!
When I got my honda off a dealer that light was already on. I told the dealer what was it he said just for tire pressure never fixed it 3 year later its still on.
scummy dealer!
How to fix it your self . the video is good
Thank you
I have the car like a 4 month ago and the first thing I changed was the battery but just yesterday that light is going on.
hmmmm wierd...maybe take off the negative terminal to your battery to reset everything?>
My abs and handbrake both show on.... And i checked with computer they said that u have to change abs
My light comes on at random and then turns off at random. Started happening after tire rotation.
Go back and complain! THat should not happen, maybe it from moisture?
Gracias x la ayuda.x desgracia hay mucha deshonestidad en los mecánicos ya uno no sabe en quien confiar..
True!
You should do a vid on how to uninstall aftermarket alarm. It’s a Battery killer
good idea
A luxury? Its a federal requirement for anything after 2008. Many makers had this before the deadline.
ahhh did not know that, thanks for the info.
what if i change my wheels the rims
Mother inlaw panicked, replaced for $100, plus tax. But, shit happens
Replaced sensor's battery, drove 70 miles but light is ON!!!!
wierd....are you sure you replaced the right battery?
@@drewtalks I bought my tires from Walmart last year and took the car their. They told me, they changed the battery
@@cathrinalaei4861 there is one battery per tire
@@drewtalks yes, I know. I took it there and they replaced the other tire battery 🔋 and the light is off now. Thank you
FYI there is not a sensor in my tire. Not clear.
