TPMS programing
need some input on this please...
do some one know if some one can install a new tpms and program it (except dealer....as they wants $250 for 1 sensor):rolleyes: as a tire chane guy damaged my sensor ... i live in calgary and drive a 2010 mitubishi outlander... any where in alberta can work as i do travel a lot. thanks a lot |
...too bad, they always make such a mistake. Did they warn you before changing? I'd like to know how they compensate you...
The following is a quote from a thread by member N.G.S. Hope it helps. There is a solution to the tpms issue without having to take your car to the dealer or having to disable the tpms system by changing settings on your ecu. I have programmed a bunch of sensors for folks on the evo forums and none have had any issues. You can read about the solution on this thread A tpms solution proven to work - evolutionm.net If anyone needs sensors programmed pm me. I do not charge for programming them. You could source them out and ship them to me for programming or i can source a set for you. Pm me if you have any questions. thanks a lot |
I had a Firestone location break two of my sensors. I raised hell and they replaced the sensors for me. I did have to go to the dealership to have them programmed in, but Firestone re-imbursed use for that.
if that is not an option for you, then I suggest going with fiestataz' suggestion, but you'll need the old sensor to read the code to give to the other guy. |

If assuming the replacement are two brand new Mitsubishi OEM TPMS (same model number as whatever original), do I still have to go to dealer for reprogramming?

Unfortunately only Mitsubishi dealers can program it. Mitsubishi refuse to release the ODB protocol to the aftermarket so even if you buy a TPMS programmer for it (like I did), it will not communicate with the on board computer. My dealer charges $99 to program it. I wouldn't fault the tire guy so much. The OEM TPMS valve stem starts to erode or rusts out at the threads after 4 years. I broke three of mine just by pushing an air hose on to it for inflation. It seems like the battery inside it last longer than the crappy value stem.

I can program a set of sensors that work 100%, I have done hundreds of sensors to date with zero issues. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

^^^^I can vouch for this guy. The new sensors work GREAT. Now that I have the OEM TPMS sensor #'s written down, I'll NEVER need to go to the stealership for overpriced sensors and programming
|
i would like some info on that, local to us NTB does them for like $25

TPMS Sensors FS - Programmed for FREE - EvoXForums.com - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Forums
PM him here or on the evo x forum. I seriously doubt NTB has the alligator programmable sensors. last time I went they only had the EZ sensors. which for our car is not easy. you would need mitsubshi for the ez sensors. |
