I have a very low mileage Altima (09) with only 57K on it and the last two winters when it's gotten cold the tpms sensor light has come on. Last winter it was just one wheel. I went to Wally World and they re-entered the ID for that wheel and all was well till this cold snap that we've had in the last two weeks. the light is back on again, and I'm guessing that it's the same wheel again. I'll further speculate and say that it's probably a battery issue with the sensor and it acts up due to the extreme temp and the age of the sensor ( all 4 wheels have the original sensors. So they are 9 years old at this point. My question is this, what do most people do with this situation? Replace all four and call it a day, or just replace the one that's going bad?

Mr
you looking like a second year apprentice playing with tyres and brakes lol.
Joking aside important stuff and must be done right, hopefully you can get a new employee to cover bulk of this work and make shop booking times better.
Is hard work wrenching on your own but also hard work wrenching with someone with too different working practice and standards. Crack on mr O, more in the yard need fixing and shipping: -S No icecream until the job jobbed.

Hey Eric you should have been able write to codes to the cars using the Bartec, 400 plus, the 400 sd, and 300pro C. All have OBD capabilities. Was there some reason this wouldn't work on this car and you had to use the scanner? The EZ sensor does need to be programmed to the car and can be done by the Bartec. Dills Redi Sensor does not need programming as it broadcasts many protocols. Either way they must be programmed to the car.

I think TPMS systems are rather silly - especially on the majority of vehicles where they don't identify the low tire and only warn you when they get dangerously low, so you still have to check your tires manually anyway. Here in Canada they're not mandatory, and Hyundai and Kia don't use them. Around here they have the extra complication of giving you nuisance warnings when it drops down to -40 degrees overnight.

I just bought 2021 Kia Seltos and a set of summer and winter rims. On the summer rims they did not include sensors. At around 1000km the sensor went off. So they tell me the sensor warning cant be turned off. Sensors must be installed in the aftermarket rims for that warning to go off. Are they telling the truth? Or is this a scam to sell sensors? Thanks!

As a Sam's Club tire tech, this process is the ONLY way to get a new sensor to fully communicate with a Jeep. Downside. We don't have this tool. If it doesn't have a auto relearn or a relearn mode option, we try via OBDII where our scan tool does all the work (which fails 98% of the time. Jeeps (far as I know) don't like that.

Ultimately, I think having the real time tire pressure information is not a bad thing. It can help prevent uneven wear of tires, damage, blowouts, etc. The part where he said something about going slow to go fast reminds me of the legendary Lincoln commercials with that McConaughey guy. gotta go backwards to go forwards

Ugh. I hate TPMS. I work at my local Firestone and every time we do tires we have a dumb TPMS service kit that we have to use. Depending on style of sensor it will usually consist of the nut, a washer, rubber gasket, new cap and shradder valve. I hate them things. But man Eric, your slow at the tire machine.

I bought the 4 Nissan sensors and the local tire shop replaced them.
First the original Left Front went temp sensitive intermittent, then the left rear, same thing, so all 4 are replaced. That was 2. 5 year ago. Still good for 8 more! HMMMM! Truck is 13 years old. What's the life expectancy of the air bags? HMMMMMMM?

TPM for the lazy people who won't spend 1. 99 on even a cheapo tire gauge and actually use it, hell some people barley know how to put gas in the car, then they want self driving cars, I guess the car will drive itself to the mechanic when it's sick, I wonder if it will even make the appo8nment via Wi-Fi?
