Repair your TPMS sensor--don't replace it! New DIY reCore® TPMS Stem Repair kit launched! 

Brilliant! Thanks so much for clarifying what this video was all about it.

So in other words it's clickbait

🤣🤣🤣🤣👍

LOL

You all probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!

@Kaysen Tomas instablaster =)

@Bentlee Issac I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

Still holding up a year later?

Finally someone with common sense. I just did this repair and came out great.

@@fearofchicke Yes it is! No leaks, TPMS still reports proper pressure to vehicle.

New tpms sensor is around 40$. I really don’t see benefit of this repair kit

That’s how you fix warning lights on the used car lot! Ha,ha!

Just disconnect the TPMS recieving module,and you good to go.

@@volodymyrbuchak1852 I tried disconnecting the plug from the module inside the headliner but the light is still on

Ii tried that but tape piece I cut was too small to cover the light. Now what???

Why does the light bother y'all so much? Why not just ignore it.

Gracie Allen?

Lol you win!

AM or PM?

Same. I work day shift so this would really kink my schedule :(

It honestly would.

Too funny for SNL

'In living color'

Yes, it would! It’s much ado about nothing. Just check air pressure every week or two, and visually check the tires each morning.

Maverick Mitchell ..

Engineers will do anything to frig things up,,,,,,, there was nothing wrong with normal valve stems,,,,, they worked just fine for years. this nightmare crap they put into cars these days just pi$$ me off!!!!

@@petewerner1494 I don't really understand the nightmare. So a light stays on above my steering wheel; who cares? I was fully capable of looking at my tires to verify they're inflated, and paying attention to my vehicle's movements(even on bumpy roads) before TPMS became a thing. Ignoring one tiny light is an easy thing to add to that routine. On the other hand, I've had people borrow my vehicle and drive normal speeds on a fully flat tire before, and then having a poorly qualified individual attempt tire replacement, thereby destroyed 3 of 5 lug bolts... So I can see the merit... but for something omnipresent on vehicles these days, it's an extremely poor implementation to require a special computer to be able to resync the devices to your vehicle. To say nothing of how easy they are to hack.

There is an entire industry built around resolving TPMS issues, and if you've priced out the sensors and tools, it's obvious what a racket it is. The sensors are built to fail. A better design would be a sensor that screws into the rim and has the electronics/battery on the outside (this could be on the inner rim for aesthetics), making for easy replacement.

How to take them all off i cant hear all thd time the annoying bip bip

100% just drill it out, and your sensor will be fixed, and light will automatically reset, tires should inflate on their own.

What about wheel balance?

Dan Mc if tire monitoring sensor fault show in the dash board how dangerous to drive

Exactly, I was about to post this also but you beat me to it. Just replace the Schrader core, does the same thing only quicker and cheaper. But if it is corroded, how long will it be before the sensor fails also? this product is made for people who don't know what they are doing in the first place, who else is gong to buy it?

Why. As an Ase certified tech with expired licenses because they are a joke, I can tell you that new sensors are expensive. Your customer will save money and your profit margin will be way higher. The integrity of the sensor remains as the base/seal is untouched.

Man you have to give a reason why "this is a terrible idea". Just saying so doesn't make it so

@@gearwrench877 tire tech here, tpms arent expensive anymore not like they used to, i charge $65 for a brand new tpms (part+labor) takes me around 15 min to replace it...this thing is complete crap

@@vamte Exactly. TPMS for regular car makes is DIRT cheap $10 if you use chinese stuff...$20-$40 for namebrand schrader/acdelco/vdo aftermarkets. My mom and pop tire shop charges $10 to install/program. Although I have a Autel TS501 which is amazing But sure for super rare cars if you go to the dealership they will charge u $600 for that oem part + dealership labor

@@vamte So, $65 each for four of those things, and I can just rip them out and put in a $1 rubber valve that works just as well myself without leaving the house? I'm not sure why they exist.

@@AnX8765 Yeah, I changed a flat tire on the side of the road. it looked like the aluminum nut corroded off and the air leaked past the gasket on the stem. The tire sidewall was distorted but not punctured.

I'm even older school. We use tires, not tyres.

Works great for the engine light as well - you can always find very cheap priced black tape at garage sales

acoustic61 they don't care! Just buy this crap that won't help.

@@JodiFCobb No, this is for corroded or damaged TPMS valve stems.

Omg 😲 they want my hard work earned money

well the title of the vid is misleading. it says repair the sensor, but it's just a way to change the valve stem without having to replace the sensor right? but since sensors age and their batteries die, if your stem is that old, you might as well also get the sensor replaced, the sensor is going to go soon anyway.

@@AnX8765 well i agree, the pressure gauges are a big hassle, always lighting up. i am fine with just checking the air once in a while on my own. replacing them is not easy, and it costs to have a pro replace them for you. also they transmit wirelessly. what if you don't want to be bathed in RF all the while you are driving just so you can know if you tires have air. it's ridiculous.

1 Adam 12

@Mr Hansen lol yes, and i think we should not be.

@@fredsmith6324 Wear a tin foil suit and the RF wont get to you. Im a scientist and believe me it works.

Best comment yet!

Only if they are both at 3 and 9

My sensors are going on ten years now with no issues, on original factory battery.

@@robertheinkel6225 That's awesome! My involvement in the automotive repair/aftermarket sales, in a past life, showed numerous studies concluding that these sensors lasting anything over 5 years is bonus and not the 'norm'. Of course there are always exceptions. Glad to hear that you are enjoying the 'bonus'!!

Tire senses are just another expensive item to fix. Average 800 dollars to do all four tires every 50k miles. They don't last long. Vs the old days manually check your tires if need air. Yes nice to have a sensor tell u you need some air. Years and years we checked our tires manually.

My Audi is 10 years old and it still works on the original sensors, same for my Porsche which is 8 years old.

@@francoiseleclerc1963 Fantastique Francoise!! Read my reply to Robert Heinkel in this same thread as this also applies to you...

No, this only repairs The stem. Jim

@@jimpie231 no the battery is inside the stem core.its a cr .00000123 battery

TMPS units are 2 pieces, a valve stem and a body (contains battery). The valve stem you see outside the tire. The body is connected to the valve stem and is inside the tire. The body contains the battery. To replace the battery you need to replace everything. To do this you must break the tire bead, etc, usually you go to a tire place to do this. If you’re replacing tires, this is the best time to do this (usually no added cost, except for the units). These batteries usually last about 10 years. Thanks....Jim

@@jimpie231 i was making a joke. The valve stem core has a shaft diameter of arround .75mm. Any battery that would fit inside it would be absolutely microscopic, hence the cr .000000123 battery designation.

How do these these TPMS batteries last so long but similar ones like watch batteries don’t??

Lmao

Tyler Durden hahaha

You were close to do it right but you forgot to removed the seat belt around your neck

lol - thanks I needed the chuckle this morning.

Lol

I hate these goddamn things. I wouldn't mind the indirect system that uses the ABS sense the slowest wheel, but these sensors just add more things to nickle & dime you every few years. I'm inclined to take them out one-by-one and tap over the light.

Its not difficult and works great. Used it twice on my 2011 Tundra.

Exactly I agree

LOL Totally agree

😈

@@AnX8765Did this continue working out for you? I'm interested in this so was hoping you would lmk how it worked out after a few months please and thank you

It's a great idea. I'll make a great deal of money off people that screw up their tpms.

And on those rare occasion, you can get the stem replaced for cheap. Sam's Club can do it for $3. You can replace the stem and keep the original sensor.

@@TheCuber2400 I doubt that. Most TPMS sensor unit are integral to the stem, and stem can not be replaced without removing the TPMS sensor. And I know for fact that the Sam's Club won't touch old TPMS sensor. They will only replace old sensor with ones that they sell.

3 words, Tire gauge tool...$5 at the local auto parts.

Yes

You will fail your safety inspections if the light is on, so yes.

@@henlo1910 I had my car inspected with the light on, and it passed.

...I can see why this might save a customer from a outrageous bill but some certain ones can now be replaced with snap in or programmable sensor. (if you have the scan tool and know how to use it)

@@henlo1910 what about older cars without sensors. They don't fall if the tire pressures are good.

@yz8302 Cost mucho bucks. Dealer quoted me 2200 dollars for headlight replacement on a 2018 Lexus es350 for a 25 minute job. Cost me 250 for the part, 30 minutes, and free labor.

It really sounds like him. I would hate to see his talent being used for such rubbish.

Or the mother in law;)

If your engine block is where your tires is than u will put a hole in your block 😂

Yours are overdue. I had a third one go bad this week on my 07 Camry. Most Toyota OEM sensors are made by Denso or Pacific. They're about $35 on line. Be careful not to buy the cheap fakes on ebay and elsewhere.

Obsolete? It is mandated to be on all new cars.

@@robertheinkel6225 Fallible and costly transmitters inside tires have been obsoleted by revolution counting. Is revolution counting also called tpms?

@@AnX8765 I worked in the automotive aftermarket for a lot of years... I can give you a list... and it isn't short...

Peter you sly mad man.

Mary Jane is a good assistant for work like this...

Duh, he said you can do it at 3:00 too. I missed it by 15 minutes but tried anyway. I just made sure to use extra transmission fluid as it will lube the air inside tire.

...Or shell out 51-50

Why not? What does drilling into the valve stem have anything to do with the electronic sensor thats located BEHIND the rim bead? What are you basing this "My bet is no" on?

@@thearcher1740 you basically answered your own question with your question. The answer is, "nothing". The valve stem does nothing to fix or alter the sensor which is probably dying, already dead or broken from a sloppy tire service.

You bet wrong! I installed on a corolla about 3 years ago with zero problems

@Don Lee what problems? I am still having no issues, and just got new tires, so i don’t know 🤷🏼‍♂️ what issues you could have run into

+David Milligan No..read last post I just wrote to Rob H.

Or you can actually learn something new, and experience the satisfaction in repairing something for yourself while saving over $100. Or stay ignorant and pay other people large amounts of money to fix easy problems for you. BTW, I used this kit after seeing this video. It was easy and it works.

A new one is expensive idiot.

@@philwalker9180 I had my local mechanic replace mine for about $80...it's not that expensive.

@@angrypanda3014 Really ! Your sensor will be next ? Why not replace the whole thing and expect another 7 years for it to go bad ?

@@jeffjackson9679 Walmart is cheaper. Much cheaper. They use a universal TPMS

Good one !

Where did u buy the changer and balancer if u don’t mind me asking?? I have been thinking the same thing for years I just don’t really have a garage to store it in...seems pretty simple just need to find out what is used when they paintbrush that stuff on to seal the bead

@@buckyburnquist6825 -- directly from Mayflower. Best bang for your buck.

@@buckyburnquist6825 -- All the chinese machines are basically the same. Mayflower is among the lowest priced when purchased direct, but is still of higher quality that XK, i.e. things like metal pedals vs. plastic, bead blast deck vs hand blaster (although this is more of a personal preference thing, but the premium machines use deck blasters.) Spend the extra money and buy one with a blaster and bigger deck; it's well worth it.

Wouldn't the factory know all this .. thanks good to know 🙏

@@amit604 Planned obsolescence. They know, they don't tell.

heck, just cleaning the bead seat on the rim can do wonders...

@@CaptainSeamus -- IMO that is 100% necessary. Unless the paint is still in tact. If paint is in tact, i clean it with a rag and solvent as to preserve the ability to prevent corrosion. Once they brush that paint off, you'll be forever fighting corrosion.

@@lJUSTwanaCOMMENT I agree on a painted rim. I was thinking alloys... some of the tire sealant is (or used to be) a little bit corrosive to some alloys (aluminum esp.) so I was always leary of it, but understand the though. On steel rims - all or nothing - if the paint is torn up in spots, generally it's already a corrosion problem - so yeah, getting something to seal that bare metal off is important. Cheers!

@@CaptainSeamus -- Thats good you don't touch the paint. All too often I see guys wheel brushing anything in front of them. And yeah, if you got spotty paint it's too late. doesn't take too long either. If cared for exceptionally well, the paint is good for what like 5 years maaaybe 10? As far as the corrosive tire sealer, I have heard that a few times. The stuff we use says good on bare aluminum, but yeah there could be some high strength steel only stuff out there. also like you mentioned it might be a time thing, i.e. used to be corrosive but isn't anymore. We use it on everyone's tires. Most the other shops around here only use it if you come back for a bead leak. I also seal the valve stems and it has worked out great. I have tires holding with plain atmosphere for years; I am not fibbing. TPMS as well, haven't had an issue. Anyway, good point about corrosive sealer; I will check it out.

30 years experience, soapy water works just as well!! You can now use WD-40 which wasn't available at that time. Just saying...

WTF you're talking about ?

Yes Don Lee I am a Motor vehicle technician in the UK. I used to be a breakdown patrol, but now own my own vehicle repair workshop. I buy in the valve part of the TPMS and swap over the electronic part keeping the cost down for my customers. This product would certainly suit the breakdown recovery industry as a get you home method Or AAA over your side of the pond The lack of a spare to save weight in a vehicle these days seems ridiculous, having to sit waiting for help when you could have it changed in 10 minutes, but this is the world we live in.......

I have, mine. But instead of doing this hack job I just had the valve, ("stem") replaced

I think something is in your tire now. Some cars have electronic chips attatched to the valve stem.

Doh

I tried it with my fuel pressure sensor bleed port, and sprayed gas all over the exhaust manifold and turbo. Doctor says I may get better after another 5 or 10 skin grafts... but up until then, it seemed to work fine... ;) (this is sarcasm, just to be clear)
