Thank you for the video. I have not had very good luck with after market sensors. They either they have crappy batteries and they don't last or intermitting signal lose.
I was charged to program 4 sensors that didn't work for the truck to begin with I purchased 4 sensors, I guess older ones with 8 digits codes vs the 7 digits that would work with my 2020 Tundra. The dealership charged for installation which I totally get. They also charged 120$ for programming even though it didnt work which is BS.
What tool you need to program the sensor to the car? Does this also work for a 2011 toyota prius with an original toyota tpms sensor? The original toyota sensor is not programmable right?
No one has ever said it's cheap. It's not expensive nor cheap. Simply, somewhere in the middle. & Yes, Toyota's reliability is undeniable & second to none
Hello, when checking the ID number 3 of them have 6 digit number and the last one 7 digit number. I cant put 6 digits with Autel ODB. Only 7. I need to put a 0 in front of them to be 7 digits? Are they universal and only the 7 digits oem? Thank you!
Something isn’t right about that. Toyota sensors are either 7 or 8 digits. I’ve had to plug in a 0 as the first digit when I have a 7 digit car, but the sensor is 8 digit. But I’ve never seen a 6 digit. Are you checking the id’s from the car’s data list or with the rf tester?
@@patrickmaerean5162can’t say I’ve ever seen that, but I think i would try plugging a zero in front of the 6 digit numbers. But I wouldn’t install the sensors until I verified that the car can read them.
Great video and timing for me. I have a question, I need to replace 1 sensor on my 2016 Toyota Sienna, if I go with the genuine pre programmed sensor and have access to TechStream to add the new ID to the PCM…will I need the TPMS tool to activate or “wake up” the new sensor? Or will it activate when the tire is inflated? Thanks in advance!
You don’t have to. Adding air to the tire wakes up the sensor. You just write the new number to the car. It will take a minute or so before the light goes out. I just monitor the data.
@@automotiveinsight Hey man, here I am again lol. Installed the brand new OEM sensor, added it with Techstream and nothing, tried deflating the air down to 10 psi and back to normal several times, driving the car for a couple days and no luck, as part of the process I had to reprogram all of them including the original 3 since I was only replacing 1 and they work fine, only the new one doesn’t give me a signal. This was an OEM brand new sensor. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Is it normal for a dealership to charge 1 hr labor to program 4 new sensors when installing new ones with new wheels? I was thinking they would just scan them but they said they had to program them for a hour before installing them 🥴

One of the better ways of explaining it. Best diagnosis using the tire pressure instead of extra tool.
I like the troubleshooting “Insight”..Good job!
Lol I laughed when you used a gta model throwing a peace sign to depict the number 2
Really good advice! Exactly what I'm looking for.
Thank you for the video. I have not had very good luck with after market sensors. They either they have crappy batteries and they don't last or intermitting signal lose.
Im pretty sure on newer vehicles you just replace the bad sensor and recalibrate by driving it and the car automatically picks up the new code.
Very informative. What scan tool are you using?
It’s an autel. I think it’s is an MK808

Did dealer reimburse on employee price or they still made a large chunk of money of you, then do the same to other with TPMS issues😅

"Kpa" = Kilopascals. 10 psi = 68.95 Kilopascals
"whatever that is... Foreign units".... 😂 Instills a lot of confidence.
How to know the code of my current sensor for which the TPMs tool is not picking it ID. Will this be written on it?
If it is an original sensor, it will be written on it. Otherwise you will need scan tool data to determine which one it is.
@@automotiveinsight If you have direct TPMS you can use the Thinkcar TPMS G2 to read your OEM sensor ID's.
Did anyone ever said Toyotas are the most reliable and cheapest to run cars 😂 I think this is crazy! Coupe hundred dollars tool to program 60$ sensor…
It's a US government mandate that all new cars must have tpms sensors, not Toyota's choice.

@@patrickmaerean5162did it work with 00?
What was the tablet you were using and how was it connected to the car, wifi?
It’s an autel m608 I think. It connects via Bluetooth.
so how do you blue tooth to the cars computer to input the data?@@automotiveinsight
@@RonRoberts-m6lmost likely a OBD scanner thingy
Thanks Obama

1k for an hour of work is nuts
so u need a $1000 scan tool to clone a tpms sensor
$150 on amazon
Would you recommend one for me to pickup on Amazon. Great video, appreciate the effort and help!

Can do it with carista apparently
Is carista the cheapest tool? Does the Autel TPMS Relearn Tool TS408 work with an original toyota tmps sensor on a 2011 toyota prius too?
