- I BEAR ZERO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO DO WITH THE INFORMATION IN THIS VIDEO. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK! This video shows how to totally disable the Tire Pressure monitor in a 2008 Toyota Avalon Limited and will (most likely) work for nearly all Toyota and Lexus vehicles in that general time frame. It will most likely ALSO work for many other makes and models. This means that the TPMS light on your dash will turn off (most likely, forever) because you will be tricking your vehicle computer into thinking all of the 5 TPMS sensors are in perfect operating condition, in perfectly inflated tires. To be 100% clear, it is considered very dangerous to drive with a disabled TPMS so YOU ARE OFFICIALLY WARNED. This video shows how it is possible to power ALL of your TPMS for roughly 20 years from just 2 lithium AA batteries instead of replacing sensors as they go bad every 5-11 years or so to the tune of $35.ish -$100.ish PER SENSOR!!! Plus labor, inconvenience, and multiple shop trips. In my humble opinion, the entire TPMS replacement situation is a HUGE & EXPENSIVE SCAM!!! The solution shown in this video costs just (roughly) $20.ish total dollars (and some time, skills, persistence, patience, and ingenuity) to convert all 5 TPMS sensors to a disabled state WITHOUT cutting any of your existing vehicle wiring. Please know that it is also possible to purchase a VERY INEXPENSIVE AND EXCELLENT aftermarket TPMS system that allows vehicle owners to EASILY and CHEAPLY REPLACE SENSOR BATTERIES themselves without having to go to the tire store.
IMPORTANT PROJECT NOTES...
DO NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE THE SPARE TIRE SENSOR IN THIS SOLUTION WITH THE OTHER SENSORS AS (IF YOU DO NOT) THE TPMS LIGHT WILL TURN BACK ON SOONER.
Something I left out of the video is that (ONLY if you choose to relearn the sensors in your system) be sure to add identifying tags to each sensor (Front Drivers side, Rear Passenger, etc.) as it will make it much easier (less confusing) when dealing with the tire guy and the relearn process. It does not matter which sensors you tag for each tire position as the computer will relearn that sensor to the correct position (whatever position you chose to tag it to).
CHECK THE VOLTAGE OF THE SPECIFIC BUTTON CELL BATTERIES THAT YOU TAKE OUT OF YOUR EXISTING TPMS SENSORS TO CONFIRM THAT THEY ARE 3 VOLTS AS THAT IS WHAT THIS VIDEO'S SOLUTION (SPECIFICALLY THE CHOICE OF 2, AA LITHIUM BATTERIES) IS DESIGNED AROUND. IF YOUR BUTTON CELL BATTERIES ARE A DIFFERENT VOLTAGE, THEN YOU MAY HAVE TO ALTER YOUR BATTERY CHOICE FROM THE ONE IN THIS VIDEO ACCORDINGLY.
JUST AN FYI... the following info is NOT about the AA Lithium batteries in the solution shown in the video. It is about the original OEM battery that is sealed in silicone in the sensor.--- The button cell battery that is REMOVED from these sensors is a Panasonic BR2450A and is VERY difficult to purchase only the identical and GENUINE battery (without an entire new sensor). Also, it is nearly impossible (and VERY DANGEROUS as Lithium can explode when heated) to soldier that battery back into the sensor successfully and reseal with silicone and place back in the tire for service.
Please do not ask me any questions about the contents of this video as I will have probably forgotten the details and simply do not wish to have anything to do with "technical support" in reference to any of my videos but ESPECIALLY IN REFERENCE TO THIS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SUBJECT MATTER.
Ingenious way to get rid of light. Sir, you are a marvel. I wished I was your next door neighbor, and Friend. Just some of your ideas are cool. But, as I smile at it in just how complex it is to “fix.” It is time consuming and a lot of work, but a lot of fun. Thanks!
You gave me an idea for next project.
Lots of work to get rid of a light. I'm leaning to a bit of black electric tape over the light.
I tried that solution and if I remember correctly, the light bleeds too much around the black tape. Also, I think that in some states / areas (but not mine) you can't have any error lights as it relates to your TPMS in order to pass your annual inspection (to keep your car legal).
That’s what I did!
just bought aftermarket wheels for my 2017 sierra and didn’t come with sensors,im about to do this but i read somewhere that this wont work because the sensors will never wake up since the tires are not rotating? they activate when the vehicle is moving
I do not know the answer to that one. Maybe it is that way in newer cars? Mine is an 08. You should call & ask a tire store or a mechanic / technician? ALl that being said... it sounds like BS to me, but what do I know?
Double A battery lasting 20 years? Not likely, everything I have ever found in a drawer over a year has been full of acid where the battery has busted.
They are LITHIUM batteries (NOT Alkaline) so they are a different animal than what you are used to.
same location of the button as in my lexus GS gen3. i am thinking about doing the same, i have winter rims with winter tires without the sensor inside them that is programmed to my car, and i am debating with myself if i should take out the OEM from the summer tires of see if i do have sensors in my (used lexus rims with winter tires) that can be programmed. however can u program them with them inside the tires, or do they need to be removed?
99% sure that you can reprogram them while they're in the tire on the rim. The problem is you have to have a device to be able to do it with which you may be able to buy on eBay cheap I don't know. or you've got to be able to talk a tire store person to doing it and I'm not sure how hard that is. But I'm almost certain that's what they're designed for. I recommend going to any tire store. Sam's club is a good one because I don't think they're so focused on converting You to a big sale.
@@jotu173 Toyotas and chevys you can use the car to set those. No special tools needed. its explained in manual.There may be other brands that have this feature as well. My 07 Chevy was easy. I just pushed a few buttons on dash and went around topping up pressure in each tire one at a time. Once the tire was at recomended pressure, the horn honks once then on to the next tire ec...
I wish there was an easier way. This system is the biggest pain in the ass and just a money grab. I have summer and winter tires and I feel more confident checking the pressures on my own. You lose 2 or 3 pounds of pressure and the lights come on... It's not even noticeable. I've had slow leaks before and I can certainly tell that something is wrong way before it becomes dangerous. With 8 tires and new tpms settings I now have to get the summer ones checked out at a dealer because the lights came on after the switch having failed to reset (as per the manual) This method requires me to remove the tpms from the tires rigging this up and not being sure it will work upon changing to the winters...I would love to see a solution that can disable this from the control unit itself.
I agree with you but, unfortunately, I am almost certain that (after a certain year of car production) TPMS were required BY LAW so disabling prolly is NOT doable.
Would this work on a Honda? I've tried tricking them in a tube before and nothing.
I have no idea if it'll work in a Honda but I don't see why it wouldn't.
Toss them in your spare
@@1sleeve great idea until you have to use the spare or forget that the sensors are in there (or both).
I have surmised that my car has been hacked via the tire pressure monitoring system (wifi), thus whomever then has access to the car's computuer
17 minutes can be shrunk into 2! Tiresome show!
And your 2 comments could have been shrunk to 1 as well. You're a big talker for somebody that has ZERO videos of ANY type on their channel. PLEASE post a video of ANY kind before trying to convince anyone that you're qualified to evaluate a video.
sounds good however the batteries them self will leak battery acid after 2 or years3 years just when you leave batteries on a remote control or flash light
he used AA Lithium batteries, (no acid) but they don't last 20 years maybe 4-5 years and after that they will fail again.
@@mikemazzoli1990 if you are correct, then I will just use more battery packs and only a few monitors per batt. pack.
You gotta be kiding me...?
Nope
How to get rid of a non existing problem and disable an important security feature.
If you really knew, you would be recommending replacing the sensors YOURSELF for $10 a sensor.
Did you save anything really?
Most likely you are using more gas or wearing your tires faster due to 2-5+ psi under inflation that your eyes cannot see?
Somehow the world functioned perfectly without these stupid sensors that embody the term "planned obsolescence". If you don't know what that is, Google it. In my opinion, the sensors might be needed for the lazy or moronic among us who don't know how to manually monitor their own tire pressure. No thanks.
@@jotu2121 Agreed, this is nothing but just another way to scam the motorist and yet another revenue stream for the dealers
