What type of TPMS sensor does Toyota use?
Toyota vehicles Sienna (pre-2006), Camry Solara (2004-6), Highlander (2004-7), Corolla (2005-7), and Matrix (2005-7) used an indirect or ABS type TPMS. This system uses the existing wheel speed sensors in the antilock brake system (ABS). The system monitors tire pressures by comparing relative wheel speeds.
Do tire pressure sensors need to be replaced?
How often do TPMS sensors need to be replaced? TPMS sensors are designed to last for many years – 5-10 years is a likely lifespan.
Can you replace the valve stem on TPMS?
Since a metal valve stem is connected to the sensor which sits on the other side of the tire, it may seem like the only possible fix for those conditions is to replace the entire TPMS sensor inside the wheel. This process of replacing an outer valve stem without removing the tire is known as “re-coring”.
Can I replace my TPMS with regular valve stems?
A: Given this example, it wouldn’t be illegal to replace the bad TPMS sensor with a standard rubber valve stem as long as the TPMS sensor failed prior to the customer bringing the car into the shop.
How do I know if I need a new tire pressure sensor?
Drive for a little bit. The light should go off as the sensor reads the new pressure levels. If the light stays on, you should have us check your tires for a leak or another issue that may not be immediately visible. If the tire pressure is stable, then it could be a bad sensor.
What does Toyota TPMs do for your tires?
Toyota TPMS. TPMS or a Tire Pressure Monitoring System is fitted to Toyota cars to provide a warning of low pressure on any one of four or five tires on the vehicle (five if TPMS fitted in spare).
Are there any tire pressure monitors for RVs?

How to repair a tire pressure monitoring system?
Tools for repair of tire pressure monitoring systems include nut torque drivers for TPMS Schrader valves, torque tools for snap-in TPMS sensors, digital tire gauges for manual verification of tire inflation levels, and test instruments that can help pinpoint TPMS service problems.
How does TST 507 tire pressure monitor work?
The Flow Thru sensors use a small set screw as a theft determent and to prevent them from loosening up. The Cap style sensors use a special wrench (2 come with the kit) as a theft deterrent. To setup the TST 507 system you enter setup mode, then there are 3 possible ways to program the sensors to the monitor.
