This, you need to rotate the tires or switch tpms.

u/DiachronicShear · 3 pointsr/teslamotors

I bought these, the car has no problem reading them.

2. The stock charger is based on a clipper creek charger. I've found that they are some of the more reliable chargers, but it's not like most brands have a high failure rate anyway.

3. Do you like balls or bars better? It's just a different look, don't over think it.

4. Use hold mode for the highway (after reaching cruising speed) to maximize overall mpg. You will see better gas mpg if you run it in hybrid mode, but it isn't really as efficient as running it constantly at a low load.

5. You can hear the engine, but there is also the power meter specifically for the engine. It turns on and off based on requested load and battery charge level.

6. I have this hitch and it works great. I've pulled close to 1000lbs once (kind of sketchy and only drove up to 35mph) but regularly pull a trailer with kayaks. Watch pulling out the clips for the rear bumper though. You also don't need to touch the fabric cover tabs (I made that mistake)

10. The wipers will come on, but there is a bit of a delay where the car is trying to figure out if it's really raining or if you're just cleaning the windshield.

12. They are part of the valve stem. I used this tool to get the sensors paired.

Now that you mention it, I do seem to remember this. OP, it might be worth it to reach out to a service center and ask about this retrofit if you’re interested. There are a bunch of aftermarket tire pressure systems if they don’t offer a retrofit, including this one that uses Bluetooth to send the information to your phone.

u/edman007-work · 3 pointsr/explainlikeimfive

On my car, after rotating tires you get a TPMS tool, go into the cars menu, push TPMS reset, and then the signal light on one corner of the car lights up, you touch the TPMS tool to the tire and the horn honks. You repeat for each tire (with the signal lighting on that corner). The tool causes the TPMS system to say "hey, it's me, this tire", and the car listens for that when it's in reset mode and programs the tire to that spot.

u/KamloopsDan · 2 pointsr/ChevyTahoe

$500 for all 4 is nuts.

Amazon has them for about $46 each and most tire shops should only charge about $20 per corner to install them for you.

Funny to see that light on... thought it was a shot of the console in my 2009 P71

I picked up one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076KL82JP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm going to try and reset or reprogram this weekend...

u/oarsof6 · 2 pointsr/BoltEV

I lift from the jack points labeled in the service manual using a floor jack from Harbor Freight, and place them on jack stands for my safety and to protect the car. I also have a TPMS tool to reset the monitoring system.

u/skidplate · 2 pointsr/BmwTech

Not sure. You can save a few loonies by going aftermarket. These work with 2014 and later:

u/BigTenFour · 2 pointsr/MechanicAdvice

I would put them on any wheels used if the vehicle had the system.
I had just purchased a full set of 4 for the same price the shop was going to charge me for 1 sensor. Of course, labor must be paid to put the sensors in...

Yea, shouldn't be hard, I've been in tires for 11 years. Just find a good tire shop they should fix for you.

u/UrbanEngineer · 2 pointsr/350z

I use these sensors and they have worked for 2 years and still going. There is a reason it's required. Prevents turning a "damnit, time to pull over" into a "OHH------!"

u/Snownel · 2 pointsr/CrownVictoria

This is what I used, works fine. You don't need some fancy thing unless you're reprogramming a bunch of cars. Also, the instructions are wrong on that other one, Ford's band-mount TPMS sensors are mounted directly opposite the valve stem, not aligned with it.

u/Couchking786 · 2 pointsr/TeslaModel3

I have these on my aftermarket wheels, and they worked instantly with no issues.

>I deflated the tire down to 15psi

not sure what this was supposed to do, you need this tool to do the relearn procedure. I think I followed this procedure to get it into learn mode last time

u/93sr20det · 2 pointsr/auto
u/AdversarialPossum42 · 2 pointsr/cruze

The TPMS sensor is built into the valve stem inside the wheel. They're pretty inexpensive but replacing one requires dismounting the tire from the wheel. So if you need to have it replaced, the labor is equivalent to remounting a tire. Not something you can do yourself without a tire mounting machine. The system may just need to be relearned, which is something they can do in the parking lot in just a few minutes. You can do it yourself if you want, you just need a TPMS relearn tool, which is also pretty inexpensive.

TPMS CHEVROLET CRUZE RELEARN


  1. Set the parking brake.
  2. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off.
  3. Use the MENU button to select the Vehicle Information menu in the Driver Information Center (DIC).
  4. Use the thumbwheel to scroll to the Tire Pressure Menu item screen.
  5. Press the SET/CLR button to begin the sensor matching process. A message requesting
    acceptance of the process should display.
  6. Press the SET/CLR button again to confirm the selection. The horn sounds twice to signal
    the receiver is in relearn mode and the TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message displays on the
    DIC screen.
  7. Start with the driver side front tire.
  8. Place the relearn tool against the tire sidewall, near the valve stem. Then press the button
    to activate the TPMS sensor. A horn chirp confirms that the sensor identification code has
    been matched to this tire and wheel position.
  9. Proceed to the passenger side front tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 8.
  10. Proceed to the passenger side rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 8.
  11. Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 8. The horn sounds
    two times to indicate the sensor identification code has been matched to the driver side rear
    tire, and the TPMS sensor matching process is no longer active. The TIRE LEARNING
    ACTIVE message on the DIC display screen goes off.
  12. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF.
  13. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure level as indicated on the Tire and
    Loading Information label.

AFIK its on amazon for 40 bucks.... motorcraft part.

u/PresentFault · 1 pointr/ChevyTrucks

you can buy the tool for about $15 online. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073XH6FVK this is the one i used on my 15, prob will work fine on your 13.

u/hallstevenson · 1 pointr/infiniti

Buy them yourself on Amazon (ouch, just checked and they've jumped up in price !) and have DT or Walmart install them and program them. Walmart will do it very inexpensively.

Here's a single sensor for $31. They sell a 2-pack that was cheaper by buying two at a time but that price advantage is gone now.

$150 seems high even with labor. I'd ask Costco if they can replace them if you supply parts, or how much they want to replace them total.

u/WazzuBlue · 1 pointr/mazda3

When I bought winter wheels and tires, I got these from Amazon and installed them myself: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MUBU8QY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought the wheels from TireRack and the tires from Costco. Wheels were shipped to my house and then I had the tires mounted later...

u/Ulaven · 1 pointr/BoltEV

I bought the tool to initialize the tire sensors when I bought a set of snow tires and rims the first winter I owned my 2017 Bolt EV. It's a very simple process and the tool itself was cheap through Amazon. Less than $10 US. I go through this twice a year when swapping tires and rims.

I had 4 of these from Amazon put on my '06 when I had the tires changed last fall. Discount tire even programmed them for me.

u/JonBoy470 · 1 pointr/Justrolledintotheshop

Replacement sensors for GM aren’t that expensive. Amazon sells the ACDelco 13598771 GM Original Equipment Tire Pressure Sensor TPMS Set of Four (4) for under $60. The trick is getting them installed, which requires un-mounting the tires.

GM vehicles require a special “EL-50448” tool that costs ~$60 at the parts counter of a GM dealer, to re-learn the TPMS sensors. Again, Amazon comes to the rescue with a Chinese knock-off: VXDAS EL-50448 Auto Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor TPMS Relearn Reset Activation Tool OEC-T5 for GM Series Vehicle. There are a number of other knock-offs. This was just the first one that came up. They’re all <$20 on Amazon.

u/mysta316 · 1 pointr/chevycolorado

Ok that makes more since. Rotating the same 4 sensors to another spot on the truck would not set off the light. But if you have a screen that shows tire pressure it won't be correct. But the truck will only register 4 sensors at one time. So swapping to summer/winter tires would need to be registered. Have you looked into something like this

u/dulun18 · 1 pointr/Costco

They told me that i need a new sensor with each new tire . I don't remember paying that high for a sensor or being charged a fee to install them. I got the new tires during the usual tire promotion $70 off for 4 tires with 1 cent installation ($59.99 value saving)

​

I will see if i can find the receipt for it. I will let you know.

​

TPMS sensors are not that expensive . $44.99 for a set of 4 sure.. but for EACH?? that's cut throat pricing.

u/0xb00b1e · 1 pointr/S2000

I’m not trying to enable the OEM functionality. I am looking for something that is installed on the wheel and pairs to a device which can just live in the trunk or whatever.

I would really like it if I can look at a screen and read the tire pressure.

Buy one of these to program the sensors after activating relearn mode with either your fob or instrument cluster start at the left front wheel and go clockwise from the drivers perspective

u/146throw · 1 pointr/mazda3

Any dangers of going used vs new? About a $10 difference but i just dont want something going wrong again.

This used one or this re manufactured one must be what youre talking about.

>Doesn't require any special steps vs what I've been hearing about some aftermarket units.

Ive seen that theres some programming that needs to be done using a special tool but ive also seen that this isnt necessary and the car will "pick it up" on its own after a few minutes so idk

u/boostedit · 1 pointr/leaf

Yeah, I did get TPMS sensors, and cloned them to my existing stock wheels. That way I don't have to worry about re-syncing them to the car every time I swap wheels ... just make sure that I rotate the Winters and Summers in the same sequence. I used these --> https://www.amazon.com/Autel-MX-Sensor-Programmable-Pressure-Monitoring/dp/B074J3W853/ref=sr_1_4?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1542758112&sr=1-4&keywords=autel+tpms+sensor

u/deekster_caddy · 1 pointr/Buick

Well it's not that bad. If you GM is the kind that requires the 'activation tool' this is the tool that will activate the sensors once you have the vehicle in 'learn mode' (see your owners manual, you might be able to get to this mode yourself)

https://www.amazon.com/VXDAS-EL-50448-Pressure-Monitor-Activation/dp/B072BK693N/

and if you get into it hardcore, one of these will do most of what any tire shop needs to do:

u/JonBoy-470 · 1 pointr/autorepair

Weird. The shops near you must not work on GM products very often. GM vehicles, 2011 and newer, all require use of a relearn tool to program new sensors. Relearn tools compatible with the “official” GM unit (and indistinguishable from it, save branding) sell on eBay and Amazon for less than $15. I bought this one to reprogram my sensors after the dealer forgot to relearn after rotating the tires. It was quicker, more convenient, and cheaper (in terms of the value of my time) than going back and making them fix it.

The “official” tool is available from http://www.gmtoolsandequipment.com or call 1-800-GM TOOLS (1-800-468-6657). I’m sure the dealer parts counter could get it also.
