Andrew Markel introduces a simple tip for if you have a TPMS sensor that is not being detected by the module.
VIDEO: Relearning And Recalibrating Common Systems
Andrew Markel shows how a few common systems on late-model vehicles can be relearned or recalibrated.
VIDEO: What Are High-Line And Low-Line TPMS Systems?
Andrew Markel describes the difference between high-line and low-line TPMS systems and the information displayed with each.
VIDEO: TPMS Sensor Fault On Toyota Vehicles
Andrew Markel shows how to use “test before you touch” and other methods to determine if a TPMS sensor fault is with the sensor itself or the TPMS module on the vehicle
VIDEO: Key Fob TPMS Relearn Does Not Initiate
If you use a customer’s key fob to initiate a TPMS relearn and the relearn doesn’t start, you can use a dedicated TPMS tool to determine whether the issue is with the fob or the vehicle.
VIDEO: TPMS Deactivation On Custom Rims
Andrew Markel shows how some shops have tampered with TPMS sensors when installing custom rims, and the dangers that it can cause.
TPMS Procedures On Domestic Vehicles
From 2006-’09, Ford used banded sensors that are mounted in the center of the rim, 180º from the valve stem. In 2010, Ford reverted to the valve stem mounted sensors. Some replacement sensor suppliers have snap-in sensors that can eliminate the need for a banded sensor.

Andrew Markel explains the two types of TPMS sensors and how each can fit into your workflow.
VIDEO: Never Ignore TPMS Sensor Kits!
Andrew Markel explains why TPMS sensor kits should never be ignored on any TPMS replacement job.
VIDEO: Most Common Error When Installing Programmable TPMS Sensors
Andrew Markel discusses the most common error some shops make when installing a new set of programmable TPMS sensors on a vehicle.
VIDEO: TPMS On Upfitted Vehicles
Adam Redling shows how a vehicle with upfitted rims requires a scan tool to make the TPMS account for them.
VIDEO: What Does A TPMS Sensor Transmit?
Andrew Markel discusses the most important information a TPMS sensor can transmit and how this information can assist in relearns and diagnostics.
