My word I thought you sliced your thumb off! I was doing an HVAC job one time and “2” of my buddies said don’t hold the cutter that way you gonna slice your hand open! I said, “no I won’t!” Not 5 seconds later I sliced my hand open! I just said, “Welp y’all were right!!” I sliced my hand wide open! Lucky I didn’t cause nerve damage! Very Lucky! Stay safe and thanks for the video! 🔪😎

2008 Lexus RX400h, followed your instructions replaced all 5 (including spare tire), a little cumbersome at first but after doing the spare first as a test the rest went pretty easy. Batteries came from EBAY. Dash lights went out as soon as i started the car no programming required and saved me $500 bucks

For those of you wondering why anyone would go thru the hassle of changing the battery... the problem is with some makes/models (Toyota in particular), buying new means having to reprogram the new TPMS codes to the car computer. They wont just relearn the new ones. You cant do the programming without specialized tools, thus costing you money buying them or paying someone to do it. THATs why changing the battery on the existing sensor is useful for some.
-
Great Information for not even saving money but making easier without reprogram it. Thanks!
-
How clever of you to remove the tire pressure sensor! superb! thank you very much!
-
Great video, the light comes and goes and I’m good with that , I’ve had pressure gages for 50 years and they still work , I’ll live with the light . Oh I did check the dealer $250

Worked like a champ! Replaced all five. I used a small sharp screwdriver to slowly work off the welds. First one took a bit but flew through the others.
-
That was clever how you took TPMS out of the tire. I learned something there!

We live in 2022 while this man lives in 3022! Great video - battery replacement is easy, but getting the sensor out was a hard idea for me. Nice trick - thanks for sharing!
-
This helped me a ton! Thank You. Let me suggest using a box cutter ONLY to lift the battery tab enough to clamp on the tail with needle nose pliers. Clamp on this and twist slowly, you will gain about 1/16", do it again. Now the tab is free from the battery. The back side is a little difficult, but it works there too. I got 5 TPMS sensors cleaned like new and battery out in less than an hour.
-
Great instructional video from begging to end. You show the how to take tire off which I really appreciate.
-
I applaud you keeping a TPMS out of a landfill but that was a messy job!!!
-
Update: I saw one fellow use a shop vac hooked to some 3/8" vinyl tubing with a funnel and then pushed the other end of the tubing on the tire stem with the valve removed, after 6 minutes of suction it deflated the tire enough for him to push the tire off the bead and replace the TPMS without removing the tire from the car.
-
Awesome, I've done this in my motorcycle before. Glad you didn't slice your thumb open when that weld gave way. I've lost a knuckle that way.
-
Most excellent explanation & presentation! TU!
-
Thanks, I gotta try this before having Costco install and register new ones. Plus another excuse to buy a solder from Harbor Freight.
-
Great video. I would add to get a TPMS reader to ensure the sensor is operational again, after soldering the new battery.
-
This is impressive! My light is on.. no matter how many times I hit reset. My batteries are most def cooked.. you are the first video I came across that shows that you can actually change the batteries.. very informative video.. and yeah, it looks, quite difficult

Excellent video! Completed all 4 today
