This system is such a ripoff! Seriously! My Manuel says I need to replace my valve and transmitters on my tires before I have a serious problem, at a cost of a couple of hundred dollars per tire. What serious problem could I have? A flat tire? I think I would know if I had a flat tire!
Or on Very cold Mornings just put 1-2 lbs.more air in tires,Wil last till it warms up a bit.Very cold nites can zap a little air out of tires,esp.if u have Alum.Rims
You, sir, are my HERO! Who would have thought that they would put a sensor in that tiny tyre in the back. My Outback is six years old and the spare has never been taken out and refilled. Filled it up from 10 psi to 60, drove for a few minutes and that light that had been bothering me for two months is blissfully gone. THANKYOU!
Thanks, Joel, You are the only video or manual that mentions the Spare tire. Mine was down to 15psi. Problem solved and if I need the spare it will now have air. Great video
Filmtress Mu no he just put air in the spare then put it back in the trunk then drove for 20 minutes, apparently the spare tire has a sensor in it too that the car computor picks up on as to the amount of air inside it.
Hey Joel, That trick totally worked on my 2009 Lexus RX350, Spare was just 5lbs low, put air in it and the tire light finally went off, Never thought to check the spare! Thanks so much! saved me a bunch of money and a trip to the auto repair shop.
Awesome video! I just Googled this and you happen to be driving a Forester just like mine. I had the same problem, where my spare tire was really low. Didn't realize I needed to drive over 20 mph for the sensors to work. Going to do that now. Thanks for posting this super helpful video!
Great suggestion to check the pressure in the spare. That was my problem! Other videos didn't mention that. I added air to the spare, then the light went out! Thanks!
Same goes for my wife's 2006 Mazda 3, I was going nut trying to find out the mystery of the low tire pressure light and after watching this video I added air to the brand new, never used, spare tire and the light went out. Coool!
@@Sulto_ Good question as my TPMS goes on even after it was checked 2 times and reset and 5 miles drove it goes on again..Never checked the spare underneath but how can that set anything off?. I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier crew cab with new tires...They said all tire sensors working as they should be..But still has issues...
Im having this problem.I own a 2010 Forester base model and never would have thought that the donut spare would have a tps as well. I’m going to check it when I get home. Thanks
Donut spare tires don't have tpms sensors so filling up a donut spare AKA temporary spare tire will not make your low tire light go out only full size spare tires will have a tpms sensors , but always a good idea to check and fill up your spare tire a couple of times a year
What I hate about these tire monitors is that when the batteries start to fail , it cost a fortune to replace them. Mine were only two years when they failed and I couldn’t be bothered again to replace them .... because of low batteries.
Maybe that is my issue since I had the TPMS checked and reset twice and they have said all tires sensors are working correctly...Still light comes back on after 5 miles driven and stays on...Now how does a spare tire triggers the TPMS?. Now I have to check that tire to see if it will make it go out..I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier crew cab....
Mine keeps coming back on after it was serviced and sensors check all working ok..I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier crew cab...The spare might be causing it to lit up?...How does a spare have anything to do with the systems?.
Did you drive on that spare to get it to send a signal to the tpms unit? I wonder if it really had a sensor since it never rotates unless you are using it.
Thanks for your reply. Just so everyone can benefit, an Outback I purchased recently had the light on and would not go out. It turned out that even though all four tires were read by holding a reader right next to the tire, the signal of one was not strong enough to reach the tpms unit under the seat and had to be replaced. The dealer I used in Feb of 2017 charges $120 for a "relearn" and $60 for the sensor. I decided to replace two tires that were marginal and the sensor was in one of them so I saved a little there. Since my wife drives the car when I am away on business, I like having the functionality of the tpms for her and not simply blocking the light. Subaru designed the system so that only they have the computer necessary to transfer the ID's from the sensor to the unit. An aftermarket tpms that I installed on a motorcycle had a programming procedure so that no special computers were needed. It involved entering a "learn" mode and rotating the specific tire when prompted. This way the tpms could display pressure AND temperature for each time and tell you which tire was low! Interestingly pressure was displayed corrected for temperature ( a simple formula) so you could fill the tire hot if needed.
halnwheels The spare tire has a sensor just like all the others. Driving at 20mph or above tells the car's computer to check and reset the sensor, whether the actual tires are rotating or not.
We had new tires and sensors put on for all 4 tires on our 2007 Honda CRV. The light stays blinking now, even after driving 30 minutes on Highway at 45 mph. How do I get it to go off?
Guess no seat belt was needed to drive 8 yrs ago? My boss wants to go by the psi on the work vehicle tires. The tires on the vw taos have 51 on them, but 36 is on the door sticker.
Great. Then the manufacturers should put one that doesn't fail after 5 years and are on permanently. When the stupid thing is on permanently, the people just ignore it and don't check the air pressure.
If the tire pressure is too high it will go off to how do you change that I went to a heavier tart heavier-duty Tire requires more pressure how you change the high pressure setting
It doesn't have to be "on" the car. It's in the car. If the spare has a tpms sensor it gets read by the system regardless of whether or not the tire is mounted and rotating. It's a RF signal.
I don’t think that’s TRUE first you should have TPMS. Tire Pressure Monitoring senior. You said not for every cars. Actually that’s for every vehicles as long as they have TPMS.
My highlander 2004 has a FULL spare tire with tpms , I replaced all 4 with new , tpms kept setting off every few miles , stumped return to shop five times then they checked the FULL SPARE in rear ,yup it had ten lbs.
ok, thank you for the very prompt reply! .... but I am still ignorant and confused; how does your car know that it is receiving information from your car's tires and not the car parked next to you? ... I am just learning about this technology for the first time! ....
I live on an island with sand roads ... I drive with 12 psi... , any psi higher than 12 ... the tires are too full & just spin in the sand digging a deep hole. ... any psi below 35 psi & my beeping goes off ... How do you silence the constant "beeping" indicating low pressure?
Tire pressure lights on when you measured only a few psi low on the tires? You said they light up if more than 25% below recommended pressure. Maybe faulty sensor?
i have a problum, i put on after market rims on my f-250 and it piss me off when i start the truck its telling me to check the tires, and another thing i don,t dirive the truck that much and it is telling me to change the oil. can't bleve this. its a f250 4-wheel wheeler and its only got 12000 miles its a 2009 truck. any help would be great, should i take it to ford?
Hello just wanted to check if the spare tire pressure need to be at the right pressure - as in if the pressure is low on the spare tire ( kept in the car) will it show up on dashboard even if it is not in use.
If after checking all tires, including spare, and they are all at proper pressure but the TPMS light is still on after driving the car, you may have a sensor with a bad battery.
This is a good video. Same thing happened to me. Luckily, my jeep told me exactly which tire was low. It said LR. Which would be the left rear. I wouldn’t check the pressure in all of my tires and sure enough. The left rear was at 25 and it should be 35 soon as I filled it up and started driving that warning light went off.
Hi Joel . I am having issues with my 07 Nissan Altima tire pressure light. I hv changed the sensor , guage the tire yet the light persist. But my spare tire doe not hv a sensor. My question is do i still fill it to the required guage even without a sensor in it ? It always went from blinking to solid yellow light.
Well any auto shop or tire center should have a TPMS programmer/tester, after they put the proper amount of air in the tire you go to each tire and hold the tester near the stem and it will clear it or give you a error which means you have a faulty sensor! Actually you don’t need to put air in it first because the tester will tell you that also!
4 days ago I went to the shop I had all four tires replaced and also all new valve stems and new sensors because the batteries were dead, the very next day my tire sensor and monitor lights came on. I've driven it well over 20 miles since and its still flashing....

12 psi .. on a JEEP used on sand roads of NANTUCKET island. ... LIGHT on ... all the time ... ( the TPMS is set to indicate when below 35 psi ) ... Why set the TPMS ; to 44 psi ... for a "OFF-ROAD" jeep? .. None of the car excutuves have ever thought about going "off-road" have they?
There is a conceptual error in the TPMS. When you buy a battery over the counter, you can see the battery's end-of-life date. When you buy a TPMS sensor, the battery is embedded inside an epoxy-filled module, and the battery date is not visible. So when you buy one, you have no idea if it is fresh or NOS (New Old Stock). I bought Mercedes TPMS sensors, and the first one failed after 2 months, the second failed after 6 months. After 5 trips to Mercedes of Pleasanton and $1600 later, there are 4 "new" TPMS sensors in my wheels. But how "new" are they? The dealer and service advisor was not able to guarantee to me that the sensors were "new" and that they would last the lifetime expected of a lithium battery. I hope the management at Mercedes and other car manufacturers and the legislators that mandated a tire pressure monitoring system have 1600 dollar bills every 4 months to keep their systems operational.
So I did all that mines are about 2lbs over and the tire pressure still low? Had the tire shop check everything was fine can it be the tire pressure sensor?
Solid i was on my way to get a tire pressure gauge. I notice it turn off guess it was one of the tires either slow leaking or needed more pressure ..I had rechecked pressure before hand it was at least 4lbs extra each thank you the video helps a lot too I will recheck tomorrow again Incase one of the tire is leaking.
Finally someone who has knowledge on what to do other than turning the key a few times and stepping on brake pedal thank you! this worked for my 2015 Ford Explorer.
Shame on you, driving around w/o your seatbelt on. And you were well aware of it because at the very beginning you said you werent driving. Video is good but not the answer to my problem. Thanks anyway.

Yes he does, you simply top off all tires including the spare and drive the vehicle going at least 25mph. Not sure what you were watching.....

What a pain in the ass.
I checked my spare tire. It was totally empty. I put the recommended 60 lbs and the warning light went off
Did he put the spare tire on the vehicle and drive it for the light to go off?

There is a conceptual error in the TPMS. When you buy a battery over
the counter, you can see the battery's end-of-life date. When you buy a
TPMS sensor, the battery is embedded inside an epoxy-filled module, and
the battery date is not visible. So when you buy one, you have no idea
if it is fresh or NOS (New Old Stock). I bought Mercedes TPMS sensors,
and the first one failed after 2 months, the second failed after 6
months. After 5 trips to Mercedes of Pleasanton and $1600 later, there
are 4 "new" TPMS sensors in my wheels. But how "new" are they? The
dealer and service advisor was not able to guarantee to me that the
sensors were "new" and that they would last the lifetime expected of a
lithium battery. I hope the management at Mercedes and other car
manufacturers and the legislators that mandated a tire pressure
monitoring system have 1600 dollar bills every 4 months to keep their
systems operational.
So I did all that mines are about 2lbs over and the tire pressure still low? Had the tire shop check everything was fine can it be the tire pressure sensor?
Solid i was on my way to get a tire pressure gauge. I notice it turn off guess it was one of the tires either slow leaking or needed more pressure ..I had rechecked pressure before hand it was at least 4lbs extra each thank you the video helps a lot too I will recheck tomorrow again Incase one of the tire is leaking.
