The battery looks to have no soldering tabs in the link. Are you sure they will send me the ones with tabs?
@@blue52851 Yes the pictures will not always show the correct image but the battery will be with tabs
@@bobthepromoter what is the silicone paste that you are using here? can you let me know?
This link is not working...great job though.
How to figure out which one is not working anymore? Service software says it's 2 of 4 but which one is not obvious
My word I thought you sliced your thumb off! I was doing an HVAC job one time and “2” of my buddies said don’t hold the cutter that way you gonna slice your hand open! I said, “no I won’t!” Not 5 seconds later I sliced my hand open! I just said, “Welp y’all were right!!” I sliced my hand wide open! Lucky I didn’t cause nerve damage! Very Lucky! Stay safe and thanks for the video! 🔪😎
The comment I was looking for haha
Just FYI use that iron and disconnect the battery not knife.
I saw that coming and thankfully it didn't happen! How??? I have no clue! But I'm glad because this is a very worthwhile youtuber.
I came here for this comment. I was on the edge of my seat thinking just this, then when it slipped, it juussst missed! Lucky! Great video.
@@robi750 Those tabs are spot-welded on and can't be unsoldered.
2008 Lexus RX400h, followed your instructions replaced all 5 (including spare tire), a little cumbersome at first but after doing the spare first as a test the rest went pretty easy. Batteries came from EBAY. Dash lights went out as soon as i started the car no programming required and saved me $500 bucks
Nice . I’m gonna do it next. I’m pretty sure one battery is out but I’m gonna replace all of them. This looks like fun. I’m basically making $500 in one day. “Dollar saved dollar earned”.
Wow, how long did it take u to do the job
For those of you wondering why anyone would go thru the hassle of changing the battery... the problem is with some makes/models (Toyota in particular), buying new means having to reprogram the new TPMS codes to the car computer. They wont just relearn the new ones. You cant do the programming without specialized tools, thus costing you money buying them or paying someone to do it. THATs why changing the battery on the existing sensor is useful for some.
Yes thats the biggest problem that'll cost $300 or more just to change them at the dealer. Money grab.
F'n ridiculous ODB programming. Sensors, chip keys, and key fobs are the biggest rip-off. They plug in and touch a few menu commands then charge mechanic wrench labor rates. Sh1tty.
This is how world works i give service you give me money... Imagine everyone do his services by himself how we gonna survive 😊
@@younessmontana6682 Stop ripping people off for these services. It’s not brain surgery (something that cannot be done DIY).
@@cbpuzzle that's why I prefer the other type of TPMS where it uses wheel speed instead of an actual pressure sensor. Yeah i hate these. what a pain
I applaud you keeping a TPMS out of a landfill but that was a messy job!!!
i know right!everybody preaches green this green that but wont make products serviceable smdh
That was clever how you took TPMS out of the tire. I learned something there!
How clever of you to remove the tire pressure sensor! superb! thank you very much!
This helped me a ton! Thank You. Let me suggest using a box cutter ONLY to lift the battery tab enough to clamp on the tail with needle nose pliers. Clamp on this and twist slowly, you will gain about 1/16", do it again. Now the tab is free from the battery. The back side is a little difficult, but it works there too. I got 5 TPMS sensors cleaned like new and battery out in less than an hour.
Thanks for the tip :)
Is it cr2032?
@@rondhole 2450 with tabs
@@johnstefanick5216 spot welding tab? Fortunately, it is not that expensive anymore. Most original Toyota TPMS cost about $45 each.
Fuck that! I'll just pay Discount Tire $50 to do it!
Update: I saw one fellow use a shop vac hooked to some 3/8" vinyl tubing with a funnel and then pushed the other end of the tubing on the tire stem with the valve removed, after 6 minutes of suction it deflated the tire enough for him to push the tire off the bead and replace the TPMS without removing the tire from the car.
Worked like a champ! Replaced all five. I used a small sharp screwdriver to slowly work off the welds. First one took a bit but flew through the others.
Great video, the light comes and goes and I’m good with that , I’ve had pressure gages for 50 years and they still work , I’ll live with the light . Oh I did check the dealer $250
But do MOT checks flag a faulty TPMS sensor
Great Information
for not even saving money but making easier without reprogram it.
Thanks!
We live in 2022 while this man lives in 3022!
Great video - battery replacement is easy, but getting the sensor out was a hard idea for me.
Nice trick - thanks for sharing!
Great instructional video from begging to end. You show the how to take tire off which I really appreciate.
bad way to take tire off, another video showed a better way, using rocker panal with 2x4 under jack to keep from puncturing tire side wall., just sayin
I never saw him begging 👍
@@king77703😂lol. Beginning
Great info, scary knifing. That was too close man.
Awesome, I've done this in my motorcycle before. Glad you didn't slice your thumb open when that weld gave way. I've lost a knuckle that way.
Thanks, I gotta try this before having Costco install and register new ones. Plus another excuse to buy a solder from Harbor Freight.
I was bleeding even before he started to attack the TPM with that utility knife.Had to get Band-Aids just to watch this.
Great video. I would add to get a TPMS reader to ensure the sensor is operational again, after soldering the new battery.
Excellent video! Completed all 4 today
Fantastic!
Are they still working now??
Thanks for making this awesome video. Buuuuuut I am going to just buy new ones at Costco for $40 after watching you almost slice your hand open.
Seen that set up too many times. I thought I was going to see a grown man slice his hand wide open on film ! LOL I cringed at that moment.
How long will they last, I heard cheaper ones last about a year or two, just curious
He should have just heat it with that iron and disconnect it.
@@alrightalrightalright- Costco was the best deal around. I had a tire shop quote $450 for a Prius- costco did all 4 for something like $50 total- it was really cheap. They are still going strong, at least 4 years later. The original toyota tpms lasted about 10 years.
@@roundhill4 think I'll try Costco! I'm hand, but not this determined with silicone and solder..
This is impressive! My light is on.. no matter how many times I hit reset. My batteries are most def cooked.. you are the first video I came across that shows that you can actually change the batteries.. very informative video.. and yeah, it looks, quite difficult
You just need time and patience, looks doable
Most excellent explanation & presentation! TU!
good job on this hack. just a tip: when you heat the solder, you can just heat the metal tab, and it will heat up the solder, so your not trying to heat in between both parts. The heat will transfer and liquefy the solder and just hold it down with the pick to smash the solder.
Thank you for the tip!
Ok. 10/4
I did a battery replacement on one TPMS sensor for my 2007 Lexus ES350. All four wheels had REDI-sensor VDO SE10002A model sensors. It all went well but after driving 800 miles nothing changed and my orange TPMS warning light remained. I was able to take it to Pep Boys and asked a mechanic to try and "trigger" the failed sensor by holding it up his expensive Ateq VT56 scanner ($850) to the sidewall adjacent to the valve stem.. It took what seemed like a long time (20 seconds} but his Ateq VT56 scanner finally triggered the repaired sensor to turn on, according to his scanner. My light stayed on until I drove 1 mile away from the shop and I guess the signal was detected by my Lexus and turned off! When I got home, I used my XTOOL D8BT to analyze all the sensors and the repaired sensor was now reading correct psi, temperature, ID number, and battery status where it had failed for the one month since I installed the new battery. So my advice is to understand that there are a lot of similar sounding terms out there in these videos. I think words like trigger and activation are the same, but learn, re-learn, and reset are not the same as triggered which is what the owners manual for the REDI-sensor stated what must be done when new. Because the voltage on the bad sensor was reading only 2.8V (battery says 3V) and was probably much lower this past winter during 11 deg F temps, I believe my sensor turned off completely and needed to be "triggered". My XTOOL D8BT could not do that. Only a TPMS designated scan tool worked. I also believe that the Redi-sensor TPMS sensors on my Lexus are not OEM and installed before I bought the car in 2022.
I’ll just keep driving around with my check system light on. No matter how annoying it is lol 😆 great video tho!
Does it not get flagged at MOT
Just at Wal-Mart Auto Center - I was told that 3 of the 5 tires on my 2012 Toyota Rav 4 had bad batteries on the sensors. They quoted $45 per tire to replace the batteries. He also said they see this a lot of on Toyota vehicles over 7 years old. I did not have the batteries replaced yet.
Thanks for the informative video. I am now know that I will be buying news ones instead.
Hello, Thank you for the video. Is your replacement battery still working in your tire TPMS sensors?
You can use a small wire brush attached to a drill to clean out that old silcone
Which connection is positive and which is negative ? Kind of important !
Good works! Thank you
Great helping video, which silicone you used, kindly share link too. Thanks
nice job man 👍
Thanks man, showing us options on saving the environemnt and money. This lessen man made trash impact. 🙌
Excellent video 📹!
Thank you sir!
Thanks for the video
Hey Thanks for the video. Its been 2 years since this video, is your sensor still working?
Thank you very much .
Beautiful.thanks dude
I have a 2016 Tundra & every time the tires need replacing, these things seem to get damaged. I gave up as soon as I heard the price for the first one... a bit of black tape over the LED on the dash costs $0.00001... job done.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 great advice! LOL !
Batteries aren't cheap in the UK - cost me about a tenner each per tyre. But I'm sure overall this method is still worth it compared to alternative.
Ingenious indeed!
A lot of job but that trick to remove the valve was awesome.. I didn't expect that
Nice! Good way to save a buck and avoid the reprogramming. But I was cringing watching that box cutter part - if someone did that in my shop I would give them shit! But it worked. I might clamp the sensor to a workbench with a rag and a C-clamp if it was me and I didn't want to risk my hands. Good results though 👍
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
whats the latest update with your repaired tpms sensors??
Muchas gracias es un buen video.
Hello
I have one question. Do you think is enough space to install BR 2477 battery. The diameter is the same but the height is 7.7 mm not 5mm. In my country I didn't find 2450.
Thanks
Nice video. Definitely going to just buy a new tpms sensor instead of going through all that lol.
If you buy new sensor you’ll have to get it relearn
Checked with a tire shop. The estimate was $40 (sensor) + $20 (programming) +$25 ( mounting etc) per tire. All tires need new sensors calling for $$$$.
Replace sensors when you replace tires. I lost a sensor at 9 years, tires were almost replaceable. Next year I replaced tires and sensors. I did this at Discount tire, they wanted $50 for each sensor. I bought my own and they didn’t charge me for anything but the tires. However, get a quote from them. My car is a 2009 Honda Crv, 5 years later and TMPS is still working and I’m going to be changing tires, but I won’t replace sensors till they start getting closer to 10 years old. I bought the sensors on ebay, $44 for 4. Do not buy used or refurbished, newest sensors are rubber stems, older are mostly metal, like shown in this video. Once you’ve research this, you’ll understand the differences. Dealers charge way too much for this service.
PS: I bought a new set of rims and tires on line (better price, special tires), had them installed at Discount tire, they charged me $20 per tire. That was $80 for installation (including balancing), installing my TMPS sensors (which I bought on line), and programming them. They had a little bit of problem programming these (2020 Subaru WRX), because it was so new, but they did it. It took an extra 10 minutes, but they didn’t give up. The system worked perfectly.
Amazing video you gave done as this info is so hard to find especially the type of battery needed to buy before replacing which im hunting for to save double job time. Wanting to know how the sensors worked after all this and was it beneficial time wise or was there issues not long after doing job?
I have a 07 lexus GS430 if u have knowledge on battery replacement to suit
Jesus wept Man, My testicles were in my throat watching your handy knife work!!!! but very helpful anyway. Thanks.
😂😂😂😂
spot tac welders for making battery packs and strip of nickel one strip on both sides use 4-6 spot welds would work as well. not sure if i want to invest spot welder probaly should need laptop battery and already purchesed 6X 18650 26oo mAh lishen cells i think all new) i dont want to spend around 100 dollars for laptop and up to 100 each tpms sensors W/ programming . thanks for sharing the tip for button cell with tabs installed didn't know you get button cells like that.
How they holding up? Wondering if a larger capacity battery that meets or exceeds the size specs will be a better option? Guessing a 2477 won't fit. Reads like the CR2450 has a capacity of 600 mAh, while the CR2450N has a capacity of 540 mAh.
McGiver lives!!
Great tip & video. I was afraid that blade was going slice your hand though.
Too bad car and parts manufacturers don’t make those sensors so you could easily replace batteries. Such a waste but I know all the care about is making money.
All the best.
After replacing the battery,does the sensor needs to be programmed to the vehicle again?do i need programming tool?
Thanks for this great video. I tried to beat the tire but the other end of wheel will jump up. No chance to get the tire off. I will try later again
Thank you
Can I use RTV silicone. They use it for gaskets so I know its good for high Temps.
Sad and pathetic they make the battery such a pain to replace. Thanks for the video.
Worker: Hey boss, this food says it expired yesterday. I really don't think we should be feeding it to our customers.
Boss: 3:49
@Keagan Ashton Holy shit, you weren't kidding. It only took 3 minutes to find yours!
Not to be the one to ask the silly question here but are you supposed to take every wheel off and do this to the tyre to find out which one has an issue with the battery? Should I just replace all four instead as the other three will probably need replacement anyway sooner or later?
Will the same batteries do a 2014 Toyota avensis sensor?
I love seeing people going to the hospital with utility knife injuries. How much is a finger?
That was a very ROUGH moment, lots of blood for a 1st timer.
In the USA, $3k gets you in the ER.
Sketchy but I only watch the fingers I want to keep!
No shit!!! How careless can you be??? 🤦🏻♂️
A trip to the E.R. is only $500 if you have insurance. This guy never cut his finger. You guys must be bloodthirsty.
4:11 dude wow nice tutorial
I am little worry about the last step where the water goes inside the tire and make it unbalance. Do you know what kind of stuff they put at the tire shop between the rim and the tire?
Thank you for good idea. Please let me know how do you find out which one was low battery? Do we have to buy a $$$ tpms relearn tool to find out it? I have a low battery in tpms sensor tires but don’t know exactly which one to replace the battery.
Id say you will save enough money from this to just go ahead & replace all 4 batteries. The other 3 are not far behind!!!
Walmart replaced mine $28 per tire. Sensor and installation.
On a Toyota?
Genius!
Hi Bob, thank you so much for this great idea. While the battery link has sold out the battery. I only find a EEMB LIR 2450 battery with tab on Amazon. The differences are like these. Your battery is 3V, 550mAh, non rechargeable. And this LIR 2450 is 3.7V, 120mAh, rechargeable. Can I use this LIR2450? Thank you very much.
You can use a CR2450, which is 3v 550ma and same size as BR2450A . It's easier to find and cheaper but you'll have to solder directly to battery (not a problem if experienced).
@@socraced6210 Hi Socrace, thanks a lot. I understand the volt and and juice mAh are more important, determining the lifetime after my replacement. I'd learn and practice soldering via this video. Thanks again.😀🤝
I suggest keeping your hands away feom the direction of the cutter. It's just a matter of time dor you.
How to find the right type/model of battery for 09 Toyota Corolla LE?
Thanks for the great video. that being said... I would not sweat the weight and just have the wheels balanced directly after replacing the TPMS batteries. Also, you might want to make sure to replace ALL of the sensors batteries at the same time (INCLUDING YOUR SPARE TIRE) as they often ALL fail within a very short time frame.
Thanks cuh
can you use a cr2045 which I found on amazon
How did you check to see if the new battery and the sensor was working after you soldered the battery in?
When you re install the wheel, and start the car, the light should go off
Awesome video dude!
Got scared when he was playing with that razor
Thank you!!! Worked perfectly for my 2014 Lexus ES350. The job is more annoying than complex.
Likely the mass diff from the Silicone, but is it reqd or any possible substitute? Respects to your ingenuity & appreciate the info. A few areas to reduce risk & safety along with improving process but you motivate self-sufficiency involving an industry scam, the TPMS.
Industry scam? TPMS is a US federal safety mandate because too many drivers don't check tire pressure and crash due to low air pressure. It is very difficult for a driver to detect a tire that has lower than normal tire pressure but isn't yet flat. Low air pressure = more tire flexing = heat = tire failure.
@@bobroberts2371 What you are stating is blatantly false & evading accountability, including your equation. What are the actual statistics blaming low tire pressure on those "too many crashes"? Do you actually believe all investigations will be able to discern or bother performing & determining tire pressure as a cause? Even the incidents that were exploited by the industry & corrupted their legislative cronies (like many conniving ruses & scams), were few & dubious. It's easy to check pressure & an essential responsibility, among the fundamental acts of vehicle ownership; also, every auto manual still indicates performing a manual pressure check regardless of TPMS installation. Anybody can & should do it. Although there are islands of intelligence & good sense, but I know that stupidity, laziness, dishonesty, callousness, & corruption rampant among the immorality characterizing this country that I call ScAmerika. Really, don't try pushing a dubious hypothesis or evading accountability when inattention & negligence, including inebriation, are often the cause of traffic incidents (those are readily substantiated) & tragedy.
Dude that was close 😅, that knife was sharp
Мне вот интересно, что дешевле, обратится на шиномонтаж где извлекут датчик, или пришить пальцы в случае если не повезет и покрышка встанет на место?
Very nice! How many minutes did it take to complete one tpms?
about 20 to 30 minutes per tire once I got going
Great video ,what voltage is the original battery ? 3volt ?
Its a 3v battery
Who was the POS that gave you thumbs down? Good video , the blade was really close to your hand. Gracias mate . Keep it up .
People who don't know what its like to live on the edge :)
Nice video. How is the new battery holding up?
It's good
Works dangerously. Best to buy original sensors I think
Probably not worth the time vs just buying new sensors with a relearn tool.
When you soldered the battery, was the bottom of the battery pos. Or neg?
I think the top is positive in the bottom is negative
I was quoted $100 each to have them replaced by the company where I buy tires. You can buy new sensors of course and install them but since they will have new IDs you have to reprogram the computer to recognize those new IDs. And that takes another piece of equipment that costs. And the new sensors might weigh differently from the old ones. Replacing the batteries avoids the need to reprogram and it keeps the weight nearly identical. Here's a question my engineering mind has. Each of those sensors has a unique ID so the computer knows which is which. That way it can show you the pressure on, say, your passenger front tire on the little display. But what happens when you rotate your tires? That passenger front might go to the passenger rear or driver rear. How does the computer know which position on the car a given sensor ID is at? Do they have to reprogram the computer when your tires are rotated? Actually tell the computer that the ID that was on passenger front is now on driver rear?
Great question! Anyone?
Is the tpms still working?
Is the battery the same part# for all Toyotas or should I dismantle one of my tpms before ordering? Specifically I'll need replacement batteries for a 2005 4Runner and 2010 RAV4.
Yes the battery should be all the same
What happens if the fixed sensor is a few grams too light / heavy?
I am guessing tire balance issue. Hence try to match the original weight as possible.
You need liquid flux to get a good solder joint on the battery!
The solder already had flux in it
Doesn’t that will damage the tire?
Did it work?
Hi buddy where to buy the battery? Is it just normal button cell ?
Soapy water great idea to show if bubbles stay then air is slowly leaking adter
I’m used to solder and mod Dreamcast ps1 ps2 mod chips and modify electric scooters and messing with battery cells and building battery pack with spot welder so this is up to my ally. And I sure as hell not buying a 200 cord and software just to use it once or pay someone eles to do it
