Today I’m going to show you how to Replace TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors at home without a tire machine. Over time the TPMS sensors can go bad or the batteries can go dead. I’m going to show you how to replace them at home without going to a tire store. The way that I change the TPMS sensors is I use the emergincy jack or a bottle jack to break the bead on the tire to gain access to the TPMS sensor. Once the tire is loose on the rim you can reach inside the wheel and remove the sensors. I will also show you the basics of programming your new sensors so you will not have any TPMS fault lights on your dash.

Tire shop charged me 60 bucks for each stem!
A most excellent video sir! That warning light on my dash about sends me over the edge. Thank again!
You should do this on the opposite side of the valve – cuz if not.. you can damage the tpms sensor.. that cost a lot..
Would the sensor stay in place if you remove the 11mm nut to replace just the washer and nut to fix a slow leak? Or would the sensor fall into the tire
Is there a particular brand of sensor you would recommend?
One thing most of you do wrong, is going by the sticker on the door. Not every tire is the same. You must ALWAYS go by what the tire says, not that sticker on the door. That number is just to give you the smoothest ride. My truck, the sticker on three door says 32psi. My tires say max is 44psi. I use 40psi in all my tires. If you do not use enough air, the tire will be riding on the edges, as not enough pressure will cause the center of the tire to cup UP off the pavement. Use the numbers on the TIRE, not the door. You will double your wear mileage on your tires and always have 100% thread contact on the pavement. That is also a con where they get you to have an alignment done when they show you how your tires wore uneven. My last two vehicles never needed a 4 wheel alignment and my tires would last 75,000 miles, and they were just 40k mile tires. Mechanics have never been to tire school, so most of them have no clue.
Why why you change them at all they just a waste of time and money just check your tires with the pressure gauge like the good old days and ignore that stupid light
If breaking a bead was that easy
How do know the sensor bad
Great info! Thanks for the explanations. Very clear and well delivered!
Very good, comprehensive explanation.
Still, good video, good ideas 4 Diy repairs. Thx!
I could use a little bit of Rap music while the video is playing
This guy must work for NASCAR. Did you see how fast he removed the wheel
So I bought some tires and rims from a private seller. My tpms light is going off. Can I use that obd tool to program my truck to the new rims and tires?
Great Video.
I've got a Question for you.
I want to replace all of my tires on my 2011 Subaru Outback but I want a Full Size Spare too, so 5 New Full Size Tires because of being a All Wheel Drive Vehicle .
Is there a Link or Recommendations on 5 TPMS Units?
I Rotate Tires out every Oil Change (4 for now) but want to start the 5 Wheel Rotation on the next Oil change.
I'm assuming after the Initial Mounting of the New Tires, I would only need to change out1 Wheel with the Programmer after that during Oil Changes/Tire Rotation?
Would the Programmer/Cloning Tool still be ok to use?
I really would hate to have to go to the Dealer every 5K Miles and Pay them plus the Driving Time to the Dealer.
I appreciate any Input/Help you can provide.
Thank you.
