got new wheels. sensors are in a tpms bomb in the trunk, but the tpms light is on and i need to reset it. went to servco subaru and they use a little stick by the wheels to do it. does anyone have access to a tpms scanner or know where i could get this done? the dealer won't like my shady tpms bomb

 

im interested in this as well...

 

I thought the sensors that read the tpms sensors are in each wheel and need to be in proximity of the sensors in the wheel wells. I've never heard of the TPMS bomb box before. You can try Costco to reset them for free. I work at the one down in Kapolei in the tireshop but I'm not sure if we'll be able to reset it without being able to scan each sensor individually then re-writing it to your ECU.

 

No need TPMS that for the lazy people.
Nah but I've never heard of a TPMS bomb box. It's possible to put your sensors on your new rims. Sears should be able to reset your light.

 

cant you just reset your ecu?

 

DIY - TPMS Canister/Pipe Bomb - Club Lexus Forums

i made one of these. its pressurized to 35psi. i don't see why it would need to be in a wheel though (legally i know it does). ill try to sears and costco and see if theyll do it or if they're even able to read the sensors in the car. they are the stock sensors so they should still be in the ecu.

 

That's an awesome DIY and I like how the guy put nos stickers all over it haha

 

The sensors need to be spinning to activate.

 

well crap. that about explains what my whole issue is. time to shell out another 100$ to demount and remount the tires.

 

mount a boost gauge on your steering column (left side preferably)

 

Seriously? It should only be $40. They should only need to break the bead on one side to be able to get to the stem.

 

i would go to costco but they just have too many cars to do and i don't wanna wait 3 hours
