I dig your opinion but I bank on my 11 years of being a Toyota tech. There's no rhyme or reason to why one vehicle's sensors start to fail at 6 years, another at 9, and another at 10+. A good customer of mine has just experienced their first sensor failure at 12 years on a 2006 4Runner. They are replacing all 5 sensors because they don't want to be bothered with the independent failures. My customers are averaging 8-10 years before they see failures. The most common cause for failures is _E_boys ;-)
couldnt agree more. if it were really for emissions then the feds should MANDATE MANUFACTURERS to provide them free of charge with all tires , etc. let Goodyear buy them en Masa from China @ 1.00 a piece instead of this ****ing 50-100 dollar bull****. it makes me so angry. i too hate that dame thig makes the dash useless and annoying
i was reading a thread when researching this stuff myself a few months back and i came across a little thing made out PVC that you create and just keep in the trunk . it should be the manufactureres burden to just provide them, seeings how goodyear could get them from china for pennies. the price is just ridiculous, thats my issue. 300 dollars to put sensors around then paying someone to put them in. dear god
After recall work was done last week the tech dropped the pressures stupid low and triggered them on the cold days. At this point several psi below ideal so verified the pressures and initialized them to new values.
Question does anyone know the car has a programmed offset to trigger the light? Lets say you initialize them at 35psi. They drop to 34. Does it trigger at less than 35 or say at 30psi as they programmed in an offset threshold so it doesn't trigger for small variations?
