2017 TPMS sensors

Do you live next to a Discount Tire/Americas Tire? They sell sensors and install them for 60$ each with install included in that price, comes with a 6/7 year warranty.

 

You should be able to buy the sensors at Walmart. May want to have them installed somewhere else if you have nice rims though..

 

I don’t. I may call some tire places here locally and see what they can do for me though. Thanks man

 

I was thinking maybe Walmart too and I would guess they would put them on . That would be an inexpensive option .

 

Open up the speedometer and put a piece of black electrical tape over the TPS led light. Reassemble the speedo. Total time is about 20 minutes
Cost less than $.02

 

I just had scs sr8 wheels installed on my taco. The tire shop I’ve been going to since I was a teen swapped out my sensors in my stock set up and put them in the new set up, which were wildpeaks 265/75r16. All out the door for $540! Even put my old set back together with regular valve stems so when I go to sell them they’re all set up

 

Tons of threads here about aftermarket sensors. Don't do it! You can find OEM's for less than most dealer prices. I got a set from a dealer in CA a few months ago for around 50 bucks apiece. Your old sensors, if from steel wheels do not fit correctly in the alloys, but you can make them work by flipping them 180. (Doesn't matter, you don't have them)

When you get new OEM sensors, each code must be registered in the ECU via Techstream.

Do a quick search here for tons more info.

Thank you for this info.

 

I've used sensors bought from Amazon on 3 different vehicles. Cost ranged between $15-$20 each and there was no extra charge to install them at the same time I bought new tires. I replaced them on both my Tacoma and F150 almost 2 years ago when I put new tires on both trucks. I did this proactively since the old sensors were still working. But I knew they wouldn't outlast the new set of tires.

It's too cheap and easy to do to deal with a warning light. Spending $60-$80 every 7-8 years is pretty cheap.

I also installed them on a Jeep Wrangler I bought used with aftermarket wheels and no sensors. The tire store I used charged me $10/wheel to install. They were still working in the Jeep 3 years later when I sold it.

 

There are two ways to get new sensors to work with your truck- have the dealer manually enter the codes from new OEM ones into Techstream as Garyji points out in post 27, or you or someone else will have to use a generic reader/programmer to enter the same matching codes off your OEM ones into the generic sensors. If you don’t have the original OEM sensors anymore, you will not have access to the codes your truck used and will have to have someone with techstream do the programming. Just buying generic sensors alone won’t work, you will still have to get them programmed by someone or with your own programmer.
