New tires now TPMS light on

I still have my original tpms in my '06, no problems. The tpms each have a serial number that has to be entered via techstream to your car. Your car currently does not see the original tpms and does not recognize your new ones.

 

I believe the "rebuild" equates to replacing one or two O-rings. And yeah, seems like they cocked something up in the process.

It might be the batteries would have failed soon, and they're not replaceable: your options are completely new TPMS, or replace with regular, non-TPMS valves, if you can get away with it.

I'm beginning to really hate those things.

 

If they didn't replace them then your tpms should still be recognized. They might have messed up reinstalling one or more or one of the sensors might have just died on it's own. The battery in each are not replaceable. You need a mini vci techstream code reader or take it to a trusty Toyota dealer for diagnostics.

 

Same thing happened to me - got new tires, and now the TPMS light is on. Took it back to Goodyear and they said the battery on the left rear sensor died, and to replace it they have to order a complete kit, will cost ~$140. Is that what you ended up doing? Is that a reasonable price?

 

Never let them replace the seals (rebuild) on your TPMS sensors. It's just a way to bump the ticket.

 

Dont forget to try to the TPS reset under the steering wheel.

Each TPS sensor has special button batteries looks to me they last about 9.5 yr @150k miles. It depends a little on miles driven as the TPS goes off to save batts when the car is not in motion.

Basically for 2006/2007 cars we should probably advise folks to get new TPS units when tires are changed. Otherwise you have expensive job to separately replace TPS.

My light is on now waiting for me to decide what to do. You can put tape over the light.

 

If complete kit is 4 new TPS installed that's a very good price. You can get these TPS (non OEM) for $25-35 each on Amazon but then you gotta find a shop to install and program. So $140 would be nice price.

I gotta call my tire shop to see what they say. My local car shop wants a lot of money to replace 4.

 

You may have to take your car to Toyota to get your problem straightened out. If you do, after you see how much it is going to cost you, probably you will just do without a working TPMS system. I wouldn't let Discount Tire do anything to my car but that is just my opinion.

 

When the sensors cost more than aftermarket rims there's a problem. I would just let them fail, get regular valves, if you can get a shop that will do that.
