    Works perfectly on my 09 TRD off road with 12v hook up

    It worked on my 2014 Tacoma limited with the yellow to blue connection but not the ground to blue, thank you for the suggestion, I have my sanity back without that tire light distracting me

    Thanks for the video. Perfectly explained. I've been putting up with that blinking / warning light for 10 years. Fixed in a less than an hour. Mine would not shut off with the grounding, so had to add a jumper. Worked like a charm on my 2007 Tacoma

    Connecting the blue wire to the 12 V yellow wire worked for my 2009 Tacoma thank you very much for making this video!!

    You grounded out the wrong side of the blue wire. You need to ground out the cut blue wire on the connector side. There is another YT video showing this and it works.

      Thanks for commenting. That didn’t work for my truck. Not sure why. I grounded both sides and the light stayed on. Applying 12v worked. I’ll need to dig into the different schematics to figure out why. Cheers.

    I have an 07 Tacoma TRD Sport and I had to wire mine like you to get the light to go off. The grounding method didn't work, I had to connect to my yellow 12v like you did. Thanks a million for this tip.

    Worked great in my 2010. I put a fused 12 volt jumper for extra safety.

    Great video on the TPMS fix. I would use a plain alligator clip or other holder, the connected red wire makes it misleading. Just curious to know if the ECU threw any codes after the hack.

    • @MikeFreda
      @MikeFreda  5 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the feedback. My code reader and it shows nothing wrong. Most basic store bought code readers only typically show something when the engine light is on. I'm not sure if a high end / factory code reader would register anything. The method I show is just "tricking" the ECU with a "high pin" value. Cheers

    The second method worked on my 2006. (edit: I tested with the red/white wire, but ended up splicing in a fused wire to the yellow per this video, for the permanent fix)

    • @MikeFreda

      My son has a 2006 and all we needed to do was ground his blue wire from the harness. Cheers.

      ⁠Mine is a late 06 and they must have changed by then. It has the black wire next to the blue, like in 07+

  • @bce3210
    @bce3210 Месяц назад

    If the first method doesnt work. Simply connect BOTH ends of the blue wire to the ground, and itll work.

    • @MikeFreda
      @MikeFreda  Месяц назад +1

      Thanks for the tip. It didn't occur to me to do that. I have no clue why grounding both side would work. Cheers

    It's cheap enough these day for 2005-2015 Toyota Sienna, Tacoma, and others, to do it right. It's nice to have TPMS in case you are not paying attention during a drive........ However this looks cool, but not for shaky hand people like me....

    • @MikeFreda
      @MikeFreda  7 месяцев назад

      Thanks for commenting. Yes, the "proper" solution is to put new TPMS sensors in. I would stick to OE ones which obviously cost a bit more. You do have to take the wheels off and partially remove the tire. You may need to rebalance the tire as well. Then have to pair the new sensors to your ECU. I suspect a shop will charge you well over $500.00 for this. Denso sensors alone are ~$75.00 each. As I mention the video, on my Tacoma its just an idiot light and had suspect behaviour. It does not give your proper PSI readings. Having a larger tire it's easy to see if it is low or flat. I just couldn't see myself dishing out that sort of money to make a light turn off. But yes, to feel safe and to do it right, replace them. Cheers

      @@MikeFreda When I am done (tomorrow), it would have cost me $68.40 including mounting of the new sensors, but not the device which I split with a few friends. WIll it work for me, I will find out tomorrow.

      Wow. That is dirt cheap. Hope it works out for you. Please let me know. Where I live no one could come close to that price.

      That’s not a bad deal. Hopefully those are good quality TPMS units. Unfortunately, there isn’t a Schwabs or a budget shop like that near me. I’m in Canada and most shops are way more than that. Cheers.
