Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

I got the Autel TS508 TPMS tool and so far it did not solve my flashing TPMS light. It is supposed to read my DTC codes to tell me why I'm getting that flashing light. I ran the "TPMS Diagnose" procedure which involved reading each of the sensors then display the status of each sensor, whi...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

I passed on a VT55 without the OBDII cable for $100 thinking I would never need a TPMS tool. Now I'm regretting that. I read that ATEQ stuff is the best but Autel seems to be trying to become a big player with some innovative stuff. Like the MX-Sensors I bought that are supposed to work with all veh...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Well that flashing light finally got to me and I ordered a Autel TS508. Now the wait to find out if I made a mistake going with Autel stuff.

Re: Steelie Rims Seized To Hub

I took a rotary brush to the entire hub and sprayed a light coat of enamel paint. I also put anti seize on the rim. In a few months we will see if it did any good.

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

At this point I'm going to just drive it, but knowing myself that blinking light will bug me until I do something about it.

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Apparently the clone did not take. I put the cloned wheels back on and I'm now getting one flash. The center screen acts normally and the ! symbol is not on, so I suspect the traction control and anti lock brake also work.

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Does the service manual describe some of the flash combinations?

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

When I installed the cloned wheels the original wheels where laying a few feet from each mounted cloned tire when I started the car. This caused the TPMS symbol next to the speedometer to flash intermittently. If I remember correctly it flashed twice with a pause. I vividly remember the pause cause ...

Re: My Dealer-less TPMS Tire Change Story

Ok you guys I put the tires in my Sienna. Tomorrow I'll take them to get balanced. I just hope they don't mess up the TPMS system on the Sienna like they did to my Kiz. The sensors are clones of the Kiz so they should not effect the Sienna. I was thinking about it and these vehicles are driving and ...

Steelie Rims Seized To Hub

When I bought my Kizashi it had aftermarket rims on it. I negotiated with the dealer to also give me the stock steelie rims. Now eight years later I put tires on those steelie rims and put them on the car. I drove around and discovered that the wheels need balancing so I took them off. These rims wh...
