just sayin air pressure is not right.. but if you check them and there fine one of the sensors are bad then. have you put fix-a-flat in them at all?

JumpmanYaris · 05-12-2010, 10:24 PM

low pressure or you have custom wheels with out the sensor

you ruined your tire pressure monitor by using fix-a-flat..... NEVER use fix-a-flat

ah.. a quick question like that..

does insurance say a thing about the tire pressure monitor if an accident occurs? I mean, if you don't give a shit about the sensors, and you know for fact your tires have the right pressure??

Xs 10000000
working at big O for the past 2 months and ive bet ive put in 100 cuz ppl put fix a flat in the tire.... its crazy but it eats the base of the sensor and destroys the chip inside.

my buddy at toyota told me a while ago when i tried to help a friend she had replaced one and it wouldnt read the new one, so i tried to get it to program with our tool at work. but the only way is to have the toyota read and program the serial number in.

so the sensor is fucked

is there anyway to get the ! off the dash ?

b_hickman11 · 05-13-2010, 04:14 PM

Buy a new sensor and have it installed

HTM Yaris · 05-13-2010, 04:18 PM

Remove the light bulb behind the !

It won't go away until you finish the quest

...which is to get the sensors replaced XD

If you don't want to replace the sensor, you can get rid of the light by doing the TPWS bypass:

Wonder if Fix-A-Flat (and similar products) have put a clear warning label on their cans?? Seems like a widespread problem now.

I'm glad I have an '07 which is before law required TPMS's. I know how to check my own pressure.

Drive the car 500,000 miles or 20 years (whatever comes first), and hopefully the light bulb will have burnt out.

Stick a piece of black electrical tape over the (!) light.
