Hi I was wondering do the prius prime have tpms sensor? when I change out my rims and tires i ask the shop to transfer the tpms to the new rim and they call me back and say theres no sensor on the old rim. When I got back my car no tpms light is on. o.0 shop took a picture of it
Odds are good somebody previously disabled the car's tpms system. Or the tire shop broke one or more sensors. The owners manual suggests it could take 20 minutes to alarm if the sensors are not reporting after a startup. Tpms is required by law and Toyota uses sensors. Toyota oem 315mhz sensors look like this There are aftermarket sensors for $40 a set on Amazon but the new ids have to be written into the Tpms ecu with a scanner or specialized Autel tpms tool. There are also configurable id Autel MX sensors which can be set to existing sensor ids. Those can be read from the tpms ecu. If you only need one its $28. Autel MX sensors require an Autel tpms tool like a TS408s or similar to configure the Mx sensor's id. Autel Mx sensors have a quick connect button on the inside part and will break if pulled out. Regular oem and aftermarket sensors are one piece and use a retaining nut. Autel Mx sensors are often used by tire shops because they are universal 315mhz or 433 mhz and setup for various protocols. Disable tpms ecu with jumper (gen3 but gen4 may be the same)
been driving for 1 whole day already, no tpms light on. how do I know if they disabled the tpms system? I thought tpms system cant be disabled.
thanks will check that hopefully the previous owner didn't do that. >< you know any good aftermarket tpms sensor for the prius prime? I know you say auteI sensor but I gotta buy the scanner. I got tech stream and dont wanna go oem route any aftermarket that works like oem or oe?
You search for Toyota tpms sensor for your car. An aftermarket set that sells well This one has a coupon reducing the set to $34. They have factory set ids which can be written to the tpms ecu with Techstream. But first you need to figure out your current situation. It is either tpms disabled or you have tpms sensors. I would check the tpms ecu with Techstream.
