How to Program a Toyota Tire Pressure Sensor (TPMS) - 2 Different Methods
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- Today we have a 2012 Toyota Prius C that has a flashing tire pressure light. We show you two different methods. One is with a blank universal sensor, also known as sensor cloning, and the other with a pre-programmed sensor. Both methods will require a special tool, whether it's a scan tool or a tpms tool that can program universal sensors. The cloning method will work on pretty much any car, regardless of the make and model. The pre-programmed method works on Toyota, Lexus, and Scion models with direct tpms sensors up to 2018 year models from Camry, Corolla, Highlander, Sequoia, Tundra, 4runner, Avalon, Tacoma, Matrix, Solara, Sienna, Land Cruiser, FJ Cruiser, LS430, Ls460, ES330, ES350, GS350, LX570, IS250, IS350, Xa, Xb, TC.

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!
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.
Lol I laughed when you used a gta model throwing a peace sign to depict the number 2
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?
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
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.
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
@@user-eu5fn3ok8hmost likely a OBD scanner thingy
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.
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😅
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?
@@automotiveinsightIm checking the id form LIVE DATA option from autel. I found on the amazon that autel universal tpms have got 6 digit not 7
@@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.
@@patrickmaerean5162did it work with 00?
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.
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
"Kpa" = Kilopascals. 10 psi = 68.95 Kilopascals
"whatever that is... Foreign units".... 😂 Instills a lot of confidence.
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 🥴
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!
www.amazon.com/Autel-TS401-Activation-MX-sensor-Programming/dp/B00AERMVYC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=39QFX7JZOG6R&keywords=autel+tpms+tool&qid=1693166236&sprefix=autel+tpms+tool%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 is what we have in the video. The only downside to it is that it will only program Autel Sensors. If you're doing it more often and need more flexibility, I have an OTC 3838 at work that works well.
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?
