Tire Air Sensors

I just installed after market wheels and tires on my 2007 taco. The tire guy put the sensors on with metal bands and now I cant get the sensor light to go off.Does anyone have a fix for this?

 

i'd be interested in this problem as well. I'm thinking about new rims and not sure how transfering the sensors is gonna work

 

Have you tried pressing the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) reset switch located under the dash?

 

Mark B: Did the info I gave help, or was I way off?

 

I tried it but it did not work but it was a good idea yhanks.

 

did they properly mount the sensors on your new rims. If they messed up on the torque of the bolts or the rims are not designed for your sensors that could cause a problem.

 

Check and make sure that all of your sensors are actually on the truck. The sensors break really easy and the shop could have broke one and not told you. The way to check is by the valve stem. The sensors are metal valve stems, others are rubber and is no sensor.

Not sure what the metal bands are for but they could be interfering with the wireless signal. Also, if you have a TPMS sensor damaged, this will cause the TPMS light to illuminate and the following procedure below will be of no help. If you have to replace a sensor there about $120+ or you can do the TPMS bypass mod.

Assuming the TPMS sensors are not damaged and installed correctly, you have to reinitialize the system in order for the system to recognize the change:

1) Park vehicle
2) Check and adjust pressure to specified cold tire inflation level (driver's door label...don't forget the spare)
3) Turn ignition 'on'
4) Push and hold TPMS switch until TPMS warning light blinks 3 times
5) Wait a few minutes with the ignition 'on' and turn the ignition 'off'
