FIX! TPMS Low Tire Pressure Light - 2008 Toyota Tundra - NO BYPASS!

- The first three mins and twelve seconds is the backstory, which you may be experiencing the exact same thing... If you enjoy reading, feel free to read the rest of this description for an in-depth review of this experience. I have a 5,000 character limit, let's see if it fits... Ha!
Word on the street, Toyota was infamous for having a hard time with aftermarket TPMS sensors; however, that's simply not true. Therefore, here is my experience with the TPMS system with a true fix and not a cover up--or simply ignoring the light...
I routinely check my tire pressure and thread depth, so the light being "ON" isn't a big deal--but I also didn't want to ignore the light, I wanted to fix the problem so the system works the way it was designed to--especially when I have my family in the car pulling 5,000 lbs. behind my Tundra.
First, I needed new tires and had those replaced, before leaving the tire shop, I asked to make sure the TPMS light was reset (past experience from tire rotations left the light blinking and with new tires installed, I wanted to be sure that was corrected). When the techs tried scanning the TPMS sensors, two of the sensors did not activate and the other two showed low battery (TPMS batteries can not be replaced). The shop cut me a deal if I would buy four new sensors, so I weighed my options and purchase four new sensors (remember, this is a 12 year old truck). After install, the said I was good to go and I left--unfortunately, the light came on within 100 yards of leaving and I returned to the shop. I was instructed to drive home because "sometimes the system needs time to learn the new position and if it doesn't turn off, I was advised to bring the truck back." No problem, I vaguely recall hearing that before--so I headed home (25-30mins). Well, the light didn't turn off, so the next day I went back to the shop. The techs tried using the scan tool to reset the light and it failed. They decided to swap the sensors (same frequency, different brand) and try again...and again, it failed. They believe it may be something that Toyota has to do on their end to reset the ECU.
I immediately drove over to Toyota, spent 2.5 hrs having them try to reset the light and was told, "We tried using two different scan tools and it didn't work...you have to use OEM sensors..." I inquired on the cost to have these sensors replaced and was quoted $1200.00---uhh, no thanks! Mind boggling nonetheless. I went back to tire shop to see what my options are as I have new paper-weights (the non-functioning sensors) in my tires at this point. The shop advised they would try to get their hands on the OEM sensors and swap 'em in when they arrived. A week goes by and I used that time to research as much as I could on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. *Tire shop did call a week later to tell me they could no longer get their hands on OEM sensors--I think this was a nice way of letting me go so they wouldn't have to deal with it; regardless the shop was awesome and I greatly appreciated all their efforts.
From my understanding, a vehicle has four (4) sensors in each tire (attached to the end of the valve stem if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS). Those for sensors have a specific frequency and ID (either 315MHz or 433 MHz--OEM Toyota sensor uses the 315MHz frequency). Those sensors communicate to a TMPS Receiver (wirelessly--obviously) which is wired to a TPMS module. The ECU is programmed with the ID on each sensor as well as the position on your vehicle (front left, front right, etc.) If the sensors are not programmed correctly, the system will throw a fault and the low pressure light will come on. Now, I had no way to verify if the techs initially programmed the sensors correctly besides taking their word for it and they certainly wouldn't let me play in the parking lot with their $1800 scan tool--ha! So if they programmed the sensors correctly, and the ECU wasn't locked; then what's going on?! Why is this light still on?! Logically, I have four new sensors and the module is throwing codes; then it has to be the receiver? Maybe the new sensors are not making it to the module...this is where I decided to start, but needed a tool to verify the IDs were written properly to the sensors and the ECU matches; therefore, I purchase an expensive scan tool that could connect to the OBDII port so I could pull those codes. Sure enough, the codes matched and I order a new receiver... from here the rest is history (or the last two minutes of this video). I replaced the receiver, turned on the truck and the system is communicating properly. If you made it this far, well done, I greatly appreciate your time and hopefully this helps you in your TPMS troubleshooting. On a side note, if you're counting my characters (Ha!), I'm at 4837/5000.

Glad you got that pesky light fixed. Thankfully I was able to manually reset my low tire pressure light in my 2014 Tundra by pressing the reset button near the steering column but it took a good bit of driving in the cold weather to clear. Now I know what to look for if the issue happens again. You probably saved a good bit of cash fixing this yourself! Congratulations! 👍🏼
Dude, I have been going NUTS trying to figure out wtf is going on... 3 sets of sensors all professionally installed and same issue each time. Going to look for this part and see about getting it replaced. Thanks so much for the info!
Awesome! Keep me posted if that's the issue for yea!
DANG!!! Your a genius. I think that is the same thing that is going on with my 2008 5.7L Toyota Tundra. My tire light on is sometimes on. Thank you for sharing the video.
Thank you for taking the time to comment! It's greatly appreciated!
My truck(2013) is still plagued by this ten years later. Also got quoted a ridiculous amount by Toyota and have just been riding with the light on. Thank you for your video, I will be dealing with my own truck soon.
Yea, Toyota quoted me over $1200 to fix it (which was their way of saying we will swap all the components out).
Don't forget to check your spare. At least on the older ones first gen they're included in the system
Very good information, thank you sir.
I have 2011 Tundra and the TPMS light is on a year ago, I am gathering information about this as much as I can. Your information is highly regarded. Thank you again.
Keep me posted on what your solution was when you get that light knocked out! Good luck!
This was a huge help! Same issue on my 2007 crewmax, I replaced the tire/wheel transmitters due to age but still had problems. Light would be out after resetting / loading the TPMS codes but after a short time light would appear again. Called a junk yard and purchased a TPMS "receiver" as you described located up under the headliner. FIXED! Receiver from the dealer is listed for over $500, from the junk yard $65.00! Took about 15 min to replace under the headliner. I've never purchased from a junkyard before, but after this situation I will consider for more repairs.
That's awesome Dave! Well done sir!
I have the exact same truck with the exact same problem. Can I ask, did you find another 07 crewmax in a junkyard? Or was it a different year tundra, and if so, what year? If you found the same truck in a salvage yard, then you got SUPER LUCKY!!!
I believe it was a year newer, the junk yard unit "black box with mounting bracket" were actually a little different (bracket arm was slightly longer) and wouldn't fit exactly as my factory original, so I took the internal electronics "board" out of the junk yard unit and put into my defective unit so it would be a direct fit. Hope this helps.
@@davek3798 It does help.....I've been trying to find other potential Toyota vehicles that I can look for (not just Tundras) that may have a compatible TPMS module. Several folks have mentioned Sienna vans. I think that my module has a part number of '89760-0C010'. I haven't actually seen this since I haven't removed the module, however plugging in my trucks info into the ToyotaPartsDeal website, this appears to be the only part number compatible with my VIN. On the Sienna's, the part number appears to be 89760-08020....a little different, but from the sounds of what other people have said, this difference may only be in the bracket and not necessarily the module itself. Before I do anything however, I'm going to remove the module, take it apart and carefully inspect the solder joints. One guy said that he did this and saw what appeared to be cold solder, so he got out his soldering iron, reflowed these joints and I think he said it appears to have fixed the issue.
BTW, I've been loading Toyota part names / #'s on my ebay account and have found a number of parts from various junk yards around the country. There are
"Toyota yards" I have found parts needed for an old 97 4runner I'm working on. As a new/recent example, I used a 1998 camry RS3000 security module to fix my 97 4runner. So good luck with your project.
Nothing can replace the simplicity of classic cars
I can agree with that!
Thank you very much.. you saved me i just changed the receiver and it worked after 6 months of headaches with c2126
Awesome! Great job! Well done...
@@BDTube2006 couldn't do that without you
@@msalim9587 Gald it worked out!
So your code c2126 was caused because of the transmitter?
I have a 2012 and I just changed all sensors and programmed them and re wrote them into the ecu with the autel.
The TPMs light goes away but every time I restart the truck it comes back on , and I get code c2126.
Wondering if it’s the transmitter or I’m just missing a step in programming new sensors.
@@lukegoodwin2160 change it and no need to program just drive it
Man... having this issue right now. Thank you sir!
Good luck on the repair! Let me know how it works out for yea!
This is awesome, thank you! I just bought an 07 Tundra and the light has been driving me crazy. The tires look new but the sensors may be old/bad. How much was it to replace all 4 if you don’t mind me asking?
Also so I have an idea and if replacing the sensors don’t work for me how much was the receiver for you?
I did read your whole description and I appreciate your story and explaining your experience!!
You can use aftermarket sensors, I paid $214 for four, installed. The receiver price varies depending on the dealer you use, however, I believe I paid around $400. If you have a local junk yard, you may be able to pull one from a Tundra or Sequia for cheaper. I agree, the light can be annoying and I wanted to find a solution instead of simply ignoring it. The system was made for a purpose and therefore, I wanted to be sure it works the way it's intended. Keep me posted on your resolution! Glad this video could assist. Thank you.
Good to know I have a 2007 tundra and my light is on as well
Start with the tire sensors; they may be low/dead batteries. If not, def. try the receiver! Keep me posted on your results! Good luck!
While watching your video, I figure out how to fix the sensor light from my dash of 2008 Tundra V6, all I need was a receiver to remove the light. How much a new receiver cost? Can we order that in any auto store? Well, thank you for information, I learn so much.
Depending on the Toyota dealer you use, I've seen them as low as $350-$475 USD for the receiver. I haven't checked parts from the typical auto-parts store--but worth a shot, but these items may only be sold from Toyota. Some folks may find them from scrap yards for cheaper (typically around $200-$275). I believe the Tundra and the Sequoia share the same model receiver. Keep me posted once you fix it! Would love to know it worked out for you.
So if the light flashing you need to replace a new receiver and the tpms ?
First diagnosis step would be to check the battery life of each of the TPMS sensors (typical lifespan is approx. 5-10 yrs). Any "dead" TPMS sensors will require a replacement for each dead sensor. If all TPMS sensors are showing a healthy battery status upon scanning, but you you still have a low pressure dash light, make sure all tire pressures matched the sticker on the driver's side door frame (this will give you the exact pressure that is programmed into the module). Make sure you relearn the pressure that you set it to (the little button under the dash). If those fail, then I would move on to the TMPS Receiver.
Great video thanks for sharing, I have the same problem going to get a new transmitter! 👍🏻
Great! Keep me posted on your results!
Ongoing with my 2010 after some Redi sensors installed on new tires. Now I have techstream on my pc and an autel TPMs. Replaced antenna but still getting issues. Will try the relearn again and go from there. Pain in the bum but ain’t no stopping now
Def. pull the codes from the sensors and the ECU, make sure those match. Good luck, keep me posted--would like to know the outcome.
Don't forget to check out your spare. At least in the first gen they're included in the system
Probably happen to mine. Thanks
I heared that the reciver is the same for lock the doors too. Istnt this the case? Than there too you shpuld hava a problem. Just asking, mine has problems too
Correct, that receiver also handles locking/unlocking the vehicle.
Thank you very much
You're quite welcome! Hope this video resolves your issue!
You didn't have to reprogram the sensor on the spare tire?
@@incredifunk the spare tire on my Tundra did not have a sensor, so no additional codes needed to be written to the module.
I have this doohickey called a tire gauge. It works amazing well and is cheap.
Those come in quite handy, especially when the TPMS technology fails...
Looks like you used the receiver for a Tundra Double Cab 89760-0C010. The receiver for the Crew Max is 89760-0C020. Both Receivers use the same Control Module 89769-0C022 and Tire Pressure Monitoring System Reset Switch
Looks like i am off to the junkyard
Thank very much for the info. I took my truck to Costco they check the sensors and he said are all ok How much cost the receiver??? I may have to replace the receiver.. Thank very much for the INFO.
The receiver can vary on price used or new (also depends on the dealer pricing for new), however I'd expect the receiver will run between $200-$300 used and $350-$450 new.
@@BDTube2006 here in Vegas the Toyota dealer want $855 which dealer you got from
@@pecosb5221 whoa! I'm assuming that's the price, installed?
@@BDTube2006 nope just the receiver
Two different dealers same price where you got it from?
did you try unplugging and plugging back in the old receiver before assuming the old receiver was bad ?
Good question... I do not recall if I tested that process or not. Logically, I believe I would have, but now I'm second guessing myself if I did or not. Ha! With the frustrations I was going through with the sensors alone, I opt'ed to purchase a new receiver and get this fixed. I'm glad it was fixed on the first try--would have hated if I had to dig deeper and look at the TPMS module next.
I have a 2007 4x4 quad cab Tundra that Discount said all for tire sensors have ffailed. New tires and new sensors installed and nothing worked. Was told to let it sit for a day. Drove the truck 100 miles the following day still did not work after a number of times using the reset button. Discount agreed to refund my $260.00 and they did not bother to remopve the four tire sensors. Question _ If I buy a receiver do I need anything else to get the sensors working? .
You're practically in the same boat with me here... New sensors in the wheels and the lights are still on? There are few possible issues: 1. the techs did not pull the codes from the old sensors and write them to the sensors (transfer), 2. they used all new sensor codes but did not write them to the ECU, 3. you, too, may have a faulty receiver. First I would have Discount pull the codes from the Sensor and the ECU to be sure they match (4:20). if they dont, the techs will need to write the sensor codes to the ECU so they match. If everything matches a quick swap of the receiver will fix the issue--unless it's the TPMS module itself (probably not likely, but have to mention it). Keep me posted on what scenario you fall under. There is a link in the video to purchase the TMPS reader (comes in handy for more than just this fix--I enjoy it for many other reasons. Good luck!
@@BDTube2006 be sure to include your spare in your checking of pressures
You may have mentioned this and I’m not understanding, or getting it.
But could I not just disconnect the sensor to just get the go off if you don’t care about this sensor information.
Thank you for this information.
Thank you for the comment @William Lee, disconnecting the sensor is exactly what would trigger the light. The light indicator reflects some type of fault in the system. Therefore, if the sensor was removed, the light would immediately trigger. The only way to disengage the light is to bypass it (electrically); I believe there are CZcams videos on that process.
Does your truck have TPMS sensor in spare? I have 2006 Tacoma and spare tire has sensor that also needed to be replaced after about 11 years of service.
@alanm2525 My stock spare did not come with a factory installed TPMS sensor. However, I did remove that tire and replaced it with a full-size tire (which still fits underneath--and I highly recommend as you're not limited by the spare tire performance). The full-size spare came in quite handy when I caught a nail while pulling my travel trailer and had the full-size replacement ready to go!
@@BDTube2006 absolutely
Does anyone know if a 2016 Tundra OEM spare Tire has a TPM chip?
I dont believe Toyota typically installs them in the spare (due to location and access to add air if low). However, I would suggest having it scanned (Discount Tire, Toyota, etc.) Or check out the scan tool linked at the bottom of the video description--great tool to have on hand for quick readings, diagnostics and programming. It has come in handy multiple times for myself and others.
@@BDTube2006 appreciate it.
@@BDTube2006they put it in the spare of the first generation
Good video✌️
Recently bought a 2021 Toyota Tundra RS5 certified vehicle with 19400 miles. Driving back from TX to Lake Charles TPMS light comes on but no pressure display! Went to the dealer and reset and test sensor and all good!
We get pressure readings (as normal) before light comes on. Then light comes on and we no longer see any readings for any of the tires pressure. They reset it again and now it shows "normal", they decided to keep it to keep looking... but once I start driving I know light will come on again because that is what it does. There is a gap between reset and light of approximately 30 to 40 miles until light comes on again.
Is this issue is related to the receiver?
That's an interesting scenario. Since the system reads after reset, but then triggers again, that would leave me to believe it's more on the TPMS module malfunctioning vs. the receiver.
@@BDTube2006
Did you know where is the TPMS module located?
@@piratedust5761 try looking behind the glove box to the left.
Great video
Wonderful! Thank you for taking the time out to comment. It's greatly appreciated.
Did the scanner show any TPMS codes with the bad receiver?
Unfortunately it did not because the scanner is comparing the sensors (directly scanned from the valve stem) to the module (which is programmed directly via the OBDII port).
Very informative.. Thank you.
You're welcome, thank you for taking the time to comment; it's greatly appreciated.
Can you just unplug the Spencer, and have the light turn off And stay off? leave the sensor out if you do not care about the tire pressure gauge?
The system is triggering due to the missing sensor, therefore, leaving out the sensor would keep the light ON. Any malfunction of the four sensors, low pressure or faulty receiver will trigger the light. However, many folks will ignore the light :D
Nice videos! I have the same truck and about to fix the same issues, pressure light, and drip molding. Have you looked at new stereos?
Thank you! I hope they videos are informative and provide value. I plan to record a few more videos around the ole Tundra--stay tuned! :D As far as radios, I was honestly satisfied with the stock head unit, but it was missing some backend power. So I added a 1200w mono amps and paired it with dual 10" subs. Sounds great for my purposes. What mods have you made?
@@BDTube2006 i just purchased the truck last week and already love it. It is in good shape. I am going to tow a travel trailer and i am researching back up cameras. Did you have any issues with your subs? There is a shortage on computer chips and therefore shortage on stereos. I'll follow and tell you more soon.
@@jefferysct77 no issues with the subs. The subs I went with are specifically made for a shallow mount and they sit in a speakerbox specifically made to fit under the driver's side rear seat.. You'll love this truck! I pull a 26ft Coleman, no issues whatsoever. I did splurge a little on a heavy duty weight distribution/stabilizer hitch that locks the trailer down! When I switch lanes, the entire rig moves as one, no sway from the rear, etc.
Was your FOB key working? That reciever takes your key FOB signal also.
The FOB was working, but not that well.
@@BDTube2006 Thanks for the prompt answer.
Mine flash, turn solid then turn off. Has happened twice. Why is it turning off if it's not working supposedly?
Is that upon starting your truck? I'd recommend checking your air pressure (cold), to be sure you're at the right pressure. Depending on age, the battery may also be low. With the weather change (getting cooler), your pressures will start to drop, especially in the a.m. I've already had to add air just a couple days ago, as my light triggered on, but went away as the tires warmed up; therefore I waited til the tires cooled and aired them up.
@@BDTube2006 No, it happened while I was driving on the freeway. But, I will definitely check the pressure just be sure. Thank you.
Just a side note the spare tire also has a sensor
Unfortunately, my spare does not have a sensor. I'm not sure when exactly Toyota started adding them in the spare (if that is common practice now for their truck line); however in the 08 models, my truck did not have one in the spare. I certainly check that first with the scan tool :D Regardless, great tip!
@@BDTube2006My first gen has it😢
Would this happen on a 4runner too? My spare is filled and so are the rest of my tires, and there is a low tire pressure light always on... Going to do a bypass soon, but was curious if this might be the issue.
Absolutely, the setup would be the same, however I know the Sequoia and the Tundra shares the same module, however the 4Runner would be a different receiver. Is your keyless entry working properly? That's another tell if you're experiencing issues there too.
I bought a 08 Tundra last week and its having that issue with the TPMS. I don't know if it's the sensors or the receiver but I don't have the money to buy that $300 Scanner you have to check. (Ironically I was looking at that exact scanner on Amazon before I found this video XD) Or to pay Toyota $70 just to diagnose it. I'm hoping it's just a sensor and not the receiver, they're way too expensive. (About $400 last I checked)
If you have a local Discount Tire, they can probably scan the sensors for you at no charge; being an '08, the battery in the sensors may be dead (or very low). I would start with Discount Tire, to quickly scan the sensors--takes all of 30 secs. This will at least give you the info you need (bad sensors vs. receiver). Keep me posted!
@@BDTube2006 Sadly the nearest one to me is over an hour away in Lakeland, FL but I'll try calling up some tire places in my area to see if they can scan the sensors for free (Or for an affordable fee.) I'll let you know if I have any luck.
@@BDTube2006 Update: Looks like I lucked out. 3 of my 4 sensors had failed and is the cause of the light. I’ll replace all four sensors when I take the truck in for a balance and alignment next week or so.
@@Tech_Otter That's great news! Remember, you don't have to use OEM Sensors (I was quoted $1200 for new sensors from my local dealer; which I can only imagine, at that price, this was for all the sensors, receiver and a module--HA!). Remember, to get 315MHz sensors as well as sensors for aluminum vs. steel wheels and you're good to go. I paid approx. $50/ea. for all four (including mounting).
@@BDTube2006 Yeah, I'm gonna buy some sensors for my factory steel rims from RockAuto.com
What OBDII scanner did you purchase? I saw a comment about a $300 dollar scanner but again no mention of what model it was. Can you provide the brand and model number?
Greetings Effren, the scanner being referenced is a TPMS Scanner.
I'll stick with the black sticker technique
Haha- Definitely a cheaper option. :D
I'm goin crazy,try to see wth is goin on with the tire light in my tundra
This video will def. get you on the right track!
Hi there, I also have a 08 Tundra and TPMS light been on for a year now, recently brought new set of (4)wheels/tires with new TPMS sensors(mount/balance) from online (sensors are 315MHz). Even brought the program tool that you have in this video and ECU is able to read my new sensors. After that, I brought a new TPMS antenna receiver from the TOYOTA dealership. After making sure all tire pressure are good and installing the new antenna, I am sill having the same issue from the beginning. Do you have any ideas why or advice, thank you ahead of time.
First, that's great that the sensors are reading--that's a good sign. Next, you want to be sure the TPMS Module has the IDs from those sensors written to the module; therefore, perform the RELEARN procedure and have the scan tool write the codes (you'll connect the tool to the OBDII port under the steering wheel). Once the tool is in the process of writing the codes (this will cause all the lights on the dash to light up and blink--imagine a sparkling Christmas tree) :D the system will finish and scan for Diagnosis Trouble Codes (DTC). This will show you any other faults in the TPMS system; hopefully you simply have a mismatch and this would resolve it. You should get a confirmation screen like the one I have shown @ 4:20. It will show the sensors codes and the codes in the ECU. Whatever you do, do not use the TPMS Button under the dash--if the codes are incorrect, you will lock the ECU. *Of course, your tool can unlock it and rewrite the codes--so that's a plus. Let me know how it works out for yea.
@@BDTube2006 yes I have done all those steps you mentioned. My issue now is I’m getting the DTC C2126 “Transmitter ID not Received” (main). I saw other video getting the same code as this and it was fix by buying a new receiver antenna. But in my case my module has the new sensors put in successfully and it’s able to retrieve out successfully. After replacing all wheels,tires,sensors,receiver antenna I am still having the blinking tpms light for one minute then steady light that does not go away. Any idea what it could be?(Note: tpms light be on before I brought new wheels, tires and sensors a year ago)
@@amdamsdms did you have the scan tool clear the DTC? Before swapping the antenna, that code would have appeared (along with any sensors not reading). Once you have the codes written to the ECU (which you confirmed) and swapped the receiver--I scanned the ECU, C2126 was present, I cleared the DTC and the light shut off. Basically, that code is stating that the module is not receiving the sensor information, therefore, as long as the antenna you swapped is good, the only component left in the mix is the TPMS module itself (behind the panel on the passenger side, right of the glovebox). Clear the codes with the scan tool and start the truck (full ON), let the truck run for a couple minutes and hopefully the light will shut of. Unfortunately, if you've gone through all these steps, I believe the only option left is replacing the module... I'm very curious exactly what your solution will be. Please respond if you get this resolved. Good luck!

@@BDTube2006 thanks you
can you just disconnect the receiver and leave it unplugged?
You can unplug the receiver, however since the module isn't receiving the signal from the receiver, then the low pressure will remain illuminated.

@@bradfox22 you have over 200k on a truck and things start going out and you're complaining? what do you expect? things get old and worn and go out. you'd be lucky to not run into major issues with a Ford or Chevy before 100k
that receiver is very expensive. I would just drive around with the light on if it were me.
I agree. I believe I picked mine up for around $400. Personally, it was more for safety when towing and having my family with me, if that wasn't the case, the good ole electrical tape would have been sufficient. :D Ha!
Cheaper and easier to just ignore the light.
Absolutely, I 100% agree with that--Ha! ...however, with my family on board and towing 4500+ lbs; it's a safety concern for me... regardless, I certainly took that alternative for quite some time :D ignored it for months; then I felt like it was a challenge at that point. Stupid light... :D
Find a cute little sticker or your favorite sport team sticker put it over the light, problem solved.
Hahaha. You might be on to something, that would a hilarious sticker collection at the local auto part store.
Just leave it on or pull the bulb not really needed.....too expensive wasted money ...never had them years ago ....any car guy looks and checks tires enough
I can certainly agree, the part is expensive if you purchase new; however you can also find these units from salvage yards at a much lower price (I believe the Sequoia uses this same one as well). Beyond manually checking my tire pressure (when towing), it's nice to have the system working the way it's attended to while driving (hard to check tire pressure while driving 65mph). There are times that road hazards are unavoidable and if you must drive through it's good to have a system in place that's checking for you so that you can continue on your journey. Redgardless, yes, the part can be expensive, however, it's an easy fix to get the system up and running. This DIY is much cheaper than the dealership's alternative.
I don't agree, I am a retired truck driver if you are on the road if you don't have a TPMS you don't know if your tire got low in air until you hear the flap noise which mean is to late But with the TPMS you can save the tire.
