Live from the Car Care Studios, it's the CNC Auto Show with your personal on-air and online automotive service advisors, Aaron Clements and John Ryan Mooney. So climb in, buckle up and enjoy the ride on the CNC Auto Show. And we do welcome you to the CNC Auto Show.
And if you are looking for information on ways to make your car safe and dependable and long lasting, then do not move your DNA because you're right here in the right place. You're here with Aaron Clements and John Ryan. Before I say another word, I do want to say that just how proud we are to be a part of the WDEL 101.7 Delaware News Radio Saturday lineup. It means a huge amount to us and we appreciate the opportunity to be there. And we want to say thank you to you very much for riding with us on the CNC Auto Show. That gives me a chance to mention that you can call the show from anywhere on Saturday mornings between 805 and 10.
And you can be on the air and the number is 800-224-9090 or you can dial 706-8635-800. You can also watch the show and send your question to ccautoshow.com. And along with those questions, we'll be talking about, what do you think, John Ryan? Favorite tools, I believe. Exactly.
You're exactly right. We will be talking about favorite tools. So we'll be mentioning some favorite tools as we go forward with the show. But I was hoping others would call in and mention a tool that they have that they wish it would be considered their favorite one to work with. And I believe most everybody's got a favorite type tool that they use. And we will mention those.
Okay, again, the number to call 800-224-9090. You give us a call, we will lay a tech tip quiz out on the table. And of course, the winner will have a life-changing event when they win. As a winner, they'll receive the prize package, which includes the highly sought after Tech Tip Quiz coffee mug. And that's to prove they're a winner because right there on the side, it's wrote on their official Tech Tip Quiz winner.
And here is the question that we have. Okay, a cab driver hates people who chat away in the back of his cab. One day a man talked so much during the ride, the cab driver couldn't take it anymore. When the man asked him a question, he just replied, Sorry, I'm deaf. I can't hear you.
Finally, they arrived at the destination and the man then realized that he had been lied to. So if you know the answer to our day's Tech Tip Quiz, you give us a call 800-224-9090, 863-5800. Okay, John Ryan, what do we enjoy doing the most? Let's go over to Sean. That's our favorite thing. Hey, Sean, welcome to the CNC Auto Show and what can we help you with?
Good morning. I just have a puzzling question. I had to go to Buffalo, New York this past week and my windshield wiper fluid froze up on me, wouldn't come out. And I thought I've been down here now. I got back two days ago and it's still not working. I still have a full tank of windshield wiper fluid. And I thought it just froze. But now it's not working. I can hear the pump coming out when I press the windshield wiper thing.
Any ideas? So it's kind of hard to say because of course, it's hard to see. But is it froze still now? I mean, obviously, I know we've had some pretty cold weather, but I would doubt that it's froze today, right? Yeah, it's liquid form now, you know.
Right. Unfortunately, what I've seen before is that little pump has a little plastic vein in it. And of course, it just obviously pumps the fluid. And if it's froze, it very well could have damaged the vein. You know, where it's water very well, but it don't pump ice for ice very well. So that's one possibility. But another possibility, it wouldn't necessarily fit in your time frame of going to Buffalo and whatnot. But a lot of times when sediments in the tank, you know, from different things, you know, of course, maybe not the cleanest washer fluid, a lot of times that pump can become restricted.
And that's one reason. And then the other thing I was curious about is if maybe the actual nozzles and the hose from the pump are still frozen. And that goes along the lines of what I'm thinking, Sean, I'm wondering if along with being frozen after that it gelled. And you actually almost like jello inside your washer fluid mechanism. And of course, the thing don't pump ice and it won't pump jello either.
So you might have it gelled. What I'm thinking is pull it. I don't know if you can get to this reservoir hose very easily. But if you pull it off, we normally blow through it. Well, I would try it first and see if it pumps out. Yeah, if the pump's pumping. And then if it is, of course, you'd want to blow through that hose and see if it goes through. But first with the hose off, see if it comes out.
Yeah. And then blow backwards too. Like don't blow the same direction. Like take the, you know, blow at the actual nozzles back towards the pump. That way it blows it out rather than restricts the nozzle. Yeah, if it's got all gelled up, you can actually take an air hose and blow it in the reverse direction. And a lot of times it'll blow all that away in a filter, and then it'll start working again. But you may end up needing a new pump, Sean. Yeah, all right.
Well, I didn't think about the veins in that thing. I appreciate that. All right, no problem. I hope you enjoyed your trip though. It was eight degrees for a long time.
Whoa, man, that's a cold trip. Well, we do appreciate the call very much. Thank you. Thank you.
Okay. The number to call 706-863-5800 or 800-224-9090. John Ryan, who will we be talking to next? Next up is Bob.
That is fantastic. And hello, Bob. Welcome to the CNC Auto Show. Hey, good morning. I love listening to you guys and I wanted to answer your question.
Oh, wait, you mean you're talking about the tech tip quiz? Yes, sir. Well, you know, you have to get on the stage. It sounds a little bit different, John, right? Sounds like you need to tune up.
Yeah. Okay, Bob, you are on stage. And what is the answer to today's tech tip quiz? Well, I believe as they pulled up, he said, stop right here. And he knew when he knew where to stop or pull over here. Well, the other possibility is that, hey, you have to change for a 50.
Okay, now, now say that one one more time, I didn't quite grab all of that. The first one would be, hey, just pull up right over here. And the driver did. The second possibility might be that he said, hey, do you have to change for a 50 or something to that effect? Over. So essentially, the driver asked them a question. Oh, okay. I would say that we need to put that in front of the judges.
But I would, let's see. They're holding up the cards. Hey, Bob. This is big, Bob.
This is really big. You're now a winner. And the cab driver, actually, we mentioned that he hates people that chat. So he told the guy that he couldn't hear because he didn't want to keep listening to the person talk. But because when he got out, but when he got out of the cab, he realized that if he was at his destination, the guy had to hurt him, hurt him because he hurt whatever. But he wouldn't be there if he didn't hear what he told him. So once he was at his destination, he knew he had been lied to.
But Bob, you hadn't been lied to. You're a winner. And you're a Tech Tip Quiz winner.
So if you'll stay on the line, they'll get your information. All right. All right. Wow. We will mention an item that has to do with favorite tools.
I'm going to mention mine, John Ryan. What you got? I think one of my favorites is a code reader. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, I grab it. And you just run out to the car. You get a rough idea.
You don't know what's wrong with the car exactly. Matter of fact, what we look at on a code reader, it's kind of like if you were going on a trip, it don't tell you the address or how to get to the address that you're going to. But it at least lets you know the country and a lot of times it'll let you know the state that you're going to.
So at least you have a general idea. I want to caution people not to plug one in and just because they get a code, go spend money on a part. That's right.
That's right. Because it's not necessarily telling you what's wrong with the car. Okay. We have more tips and we would love to answer your automotive questions. So don't move.
We'll be right back. This pro project is brought to you by blaster and their new pro straw featuring control flow technology. Rusted exhaust manifolds present a challenging repair. Nuts, bolts, and manifolds seem to melt together from time, age, and weather.
And what about manifolds with stuck emission tubes that you can't even buy anymore? Using the right tools is a must, including the right penetrant. Creep action or the ability to sneak in and crawl to the rust and then break it down varies from product to product. But our go-to penetrant is PB Blaster. It's the best for loosening up frozen nuts and bolts. And blaster's revolutionary new pro straw features control flow technology, giving you the ability to be precise in penetrant placement.
So you'll avoid waste and also minimize smoke as the exhaust manifold won't be burning off excess penetrant. PB Blaster is available at home, auto, and hardware stores near you. Look for the new blaster pro straw on cans of PB Blaster and multi-max synthetic lubricant.
Always use blaster products and work it like a pro. Let's head back down to the car care studio with Airman Clements and John Ryan Mooney.

You can send us a question at that same address. John Ryan, where will we be going? Next up is going to be James.
That is perfect. James, welcome to the CNC Auto Show. What can we help with?
Good morning, Aaron and JR. I've got actually two favorite tools. They, I guess, are equivalently valuable to me. And then I had a condition on my car with the rear defiber I'd like your input on.
Which would you like first? Let's hear the tools. Yeah, tools.
We love tools. I think that one of the things that I've come to rely upon greatly is a digital multimeter. I finally got one of those and moved away from the sweeping dial that I had for many, many years from Radio Shack. And that thing is so nice with all the features and, of course, all the scales that you can go down to minute voltages. It's helpful. And particularly, which is going to tie into the problem with my defogger, is an audible continuity meter.
So not only can you see the continuity, you can hear it beep at you when you've got continuity. I find that tool to be very valuable. That's one of them. And that was on my list, James, but now when you mentioned that it made me think of another one that's really good.
I know John Ryan's probably thinking about it too. Probably so if it has something. Yeah, we'll mention it in a little bit.
Okay. And I've also got a second one. I think it's an antique, but it's a button hook, which men and women, I guess both in the Victorian days, boots had buttons on them. And this was a seven and a half inches or so long silver, it looks like. And it looks like a mini version of what you used to see comedy vaudeville shows where the hook that went around the person's neck to pull them off stage when they were no longer needed. Well, that little tool for pulling wire or leads or anything through or something that you've just got to get that either isn't magnetic or is beyond the capability of a pick, which seems they just don't have the loop that this has at the end.
You have to look one up on the computer. Just look for a Victorian button hook. And that little rascal is used never for what it was designed for, but I use it for all kinds of stuff. It's always in my toolbox.
That's a great tip too for others to get one. Now, how about the car problem? We're ready for it.
Let's go. I had an 09 Crown Victoria and it had aftermarket tinted glass put in the back of it. So I'm thinking maybe that's what happened here, but the defogger wouldn't work.
And I've only had the car for a few months. So I, using the multimeter, I worked my way through a verified voltage on a constant feed up at the fuse box. I verified the relay was working. And I had continuity throughout, not only power to the grid, but I had continuity from the tab on one side to ground. I have continuity across the grid, but the problem was there was no continuity between the one tab that's called it adhered, I think it's done with solder originally, adhered to the strip that runs down the left side as I face the rear of the car, which is the hot side where the feed comes in for power.
There was no continuity between the tab and that strip. So I took it off and I got some connectivity, I guess is the right word, product from Permatex, particularly for that purpose. It has a two-stage chemical process that has an activator. It also cleans it. And then it's got the glue.
I put it on there. Within minutes, I had continuity. Hours later I had continuity.
They want you to wait 24 hours before you power it up. The rear window defogger came on once. And right after that, the continuity disappeared again, only on the adhesive between the window and the contact. And I've been in contact with Permatex.
They're giving me answers that don't align with the conditions I've told them. So I'm wondering, is there another way, either through re-soldering or a different product you might know about that would give me the conductivity that could reapply that tab so that the continuity will continue to be there once I energize the circuit? Yeah, James, that is a tough issue because a lot of the GM vehicles with the lift gate, because of their design, of course, when you open the lift gate, it has almost a spiral cable that goes up with it. And many times it, of course, rips right off. And then it's kind of along the same lines of what you're talking about. The bad thing is I was going to recommend the Permatex kit that does kind of re-solder, not solder it, but make the continuity.
But it's interesting. I can say we've done that a handful of times and seem to have pretty good success with it. Now, you did mention that it was tinted. I'm assuming that the area that you're repairing obviously has no film on it. That's correct, because I did use the continuity tester, every possible leg of the circuit, all the way from ground to the car, all the way back to power at the source.
The only place it fails is in that adhesive membrane that I applied, someone apparently applied before me, right there. Okay, gotcha. James, we're about to go to a real quick break. Is it okay if I put you on hold?
Because I'd like to ask one or two more questions. Please do. Okay. And James, before we go, I will mention to you, I went through the same thing you did. I tried some of that stuff.
I couldn't get it to work either when I did that. Okay, let's grab some coffee at this next exit. Just wait right here in the car and we'll be right back. If it's Saturday mornings between 805 and 10, you can be dialing 800-224-9090 or 706-8635-800. And you can also watch us live at ccautoshow.com and send a question in at that location also.
We'll be right back after these. K seal is available nationwide at parts stores like O'Reilly auto parts. Learn more at kcio.com. Don't just seal it. K seal it.

That's on Saturday mornings, 805 to 10 eastern time. And we were talking with James and James had mentioned two wonderful tools, a multimeter and a hook that he can actually grab things with it, bring them. So that was his favorite tool. And now he has an issue with his defroster on the rear and he's going through the same thing I did.
And John Ryan, you mentioned, you may have some other ideas. He can't get the little, even though the kit says it will make the wire adhere to the defrosters. He's repairing the grid on here. Right.
Yeah. But oh, I thought the wire wouldn't stick to it that goes to the grid. But James, tell us again, you say the wire will not stick to the grid or you were repairing the grid.
The grid is intact. The problem is the little copper spade, let's call it connector, that flips to the electrical feed on one side, the ground on the other. And it has a flat spot where it is originally, when the car is built, looks as though it's part of a solder connection on that silver strip that runs up and down the left side.
And JR, I know you got a couple questions, but I wanted to also say something I didn't before. I've done this three times now. The first time I put it on, I thought I made a mistake. So I went and got another kit, put it back on, had the same problem. And then I contacted Permatex. They said, well, just make sure you put it in a new spot on the grid, away from where it was before.
And I'm sorry, not the grid, the connective half-inch wide strip that runs up and down the side of the window that then connects to the grid. I did that. And each time I've taken it off, which is now two times, the third time is still on the car, the grid is still conductive, the strip on the left side is still conductive, but the only thing it's not is I hold that little tab in my hand, that adhesive, I cannot get continuity from the spade side of that mount to the other until I start scraping the probe of my continuity tester through the adhesive that's still on it. And then I start touching the tab again. So it's actually the adhesive itself that once begins with connectivity fails afterwards. So go ahead with your other question.
I was just making sure because I wanted to be certain that we were talking about that area, because I'm familiar with what you're talking about. It's like a little square contact patch where the tab would be soldered on from the factory, of course. I will say, and I mean, it's kind of a gamble because of course, I guess the proper fix would be a new rear glass, unfortunately.
So you're kind of killing two birds with one stone. If you were to take this approach, I've also put the little tab, the securing tab in a pair of ice grips, got it pretty hot, put solder on it. And solder has a cool down time of, I don't know, half a second, maybe one second if you're really, really lucky. If you were able to solder that, put solder on the actual tab itself and prep the window side with that solder still hot, and you touch that window, many times it will attach. I have fixed a lot of the Cadillac Escalades and the Tahoes and Yukons that way. Yours would probably be, you'd probably have more success at that just simply because once it's on there, it doesn't go anywhere versus the one that I've repaired, of course, still function with the lift gate and that wire's always constantly pulling on that tab. But, you know, there's some risk involved. You're taking a really hot piece of metal with solder on it and sticking it to a, you know, probably room temperature or garage temperature glass. There's always a potential issue there because, I mean, I definitely love all Permatex products and I think that's a fantastic, you know, product that they've got and have had some success, but there are some success cases or non-successful cases with it also. I gotta be open.
I went through the same thing James did. Yeah. James, you might give another call or try the thing that John Ryan's talking about and see if maybe the hot solder might help it to adhere up there. Yeah, and I know they make like a cold solder gun, but to be honest with you, I've never had any experience.
I glad to look it up and see if I can find any information. I just don't see how cold solder works. The message you're talking about, I've seen where people actually do what you just said, but then they preheat the glass with a heat gun a little bit. Of course, that's gonna make it too hot and my tent will fall off and that way you reduce the difference in temperature between the tab and then they'll actually put the solder gun on the back of the tab when it's on the glass and just wait to see your newly added solder start melting and then they jump off it.
Yep, exactly. And James, the alternative would be to get a good inverter in the car so you can have some AC electricity and a good blow dryer. Maybe put a window unit in the back seat. Yeah, and that would do it.
James, you might could have your wife preheat, you know, the outside of the glass, you know, just slightly, you know, so obviously that you could do the inside stuff as far as with the solder and just apply a little heat to it. Yeah, that's a thought. Yeah, I think I'd like to try to get the one that was built with a car fixed. I might still work on that just a little longer. There you go. James, there's no doubt in my mind you'll get it done. For sure. You could always drill a hole through it and just put, you know, one of those little star washers. Yeah. Well, let me ask you this, does CNC want to, did they pull, you mentioned you've done it before, you guys actually have any technique either at the tell fair or out where you are JR, that's probably one that's in the corner back that tight quarters.
Yeah, it is. It's very difficult. I'll be honest, the ones that I've done are personal friends of mine that I was just completely honest. I said, look, I'll try it, but there's a chance that it may not work. And there's always that, you know, horrible chance that it may damage the glass. And I don't know that I would practice that repair many, many times just simply because there is a lot of risk involved.
Gotcha. If anybody can do it, I guarantee you can do it just as good as I can. I just about bet money James will find a way to do it. Let us know. He's probably going to engineer a new product for it.
He will. No, I got another plan in my head. I'll try that too. And they'll let you know how it goes.
Well, let us know. And James, thank you so much for calling in. Great.
Great question. And great favorite tools. Thank you. Thank you.
Number to call 863-5800 or 800-224-9090. Where we're going. Let's go to JC. Hey, JC. Welcome to the CNC auto show. What can we help you with? Good morning, John.
And Aaron. Yes, sir. I'm sitting here drinking a coffee from CNC. Holy grail.
Oh, you can answer my questions. I got a 2010 Dodge Challenger and I can hit the remote button on my car for the, uh, trunk or just try and lock the doors and the windows roll down. I ain't figured that one out. Both windows, not one, but both. Also my tire pressure indicators, I replaced the tire pressure indicators and it's still showing flashing low tire, which the tires aren't low. And I was wondering if there's some kind of computer chip in there that's causing this.
Gotcha. Um, so we can start with the tire pressure sensors. Uh, did you have them reprogrammed?
No, I had them replaced. I don't know what you mean by reprogrammed, but yeah, those sensors actually have an identification number, um, that communicates wirelessly with the, of course, thieving module. And if they're not reprogrammed, it physically won't look for them. Reason being is because if you pull it up to the traffic light with another charger beside you, you know, it could obviously pick those sensors up. Um, so they're, they're identified and programmed to the vehicle specifically so that it knows to look for those four transmitter identifiers. Um, so if they're not programmed, that's the reason that it's flashing because when a TPMS light is flashing, that means there's a fault with the system.
When it's on solid, that means that of course, uh, it's just low tire pressure. I can, uh, also answer or at least give you some tips on the windows, but the only trouble is we're going to a real quick break. Do you mind holding? No, I don't mind.
Okay. All right, watch us live or pass shows on Facebook and don't hold that car question inside. Give us a call number 706-863-5800. Saturday mornings, 805 to 10. We also have some questions coming in from ccautoshow.com. You can put your question there also.
We'll be right back after this. This is Sarah's O'Reilly auto parts story. Driving cross country with two young children is ambitious to say the least. Then our check engine light came on. We pulled into O'Reilly auto parts and they tested it.
Turned out it was a faulty sensor. They referred us to a great mechanic just down the street and we were back on the road in no time. Welcome back to more of the CNC auto show with Aaron Clements and John Ryan Mooney. The CNC auto show is brought to you in part by Clarios, the world's largest producer of automotive AGM batteries, which are built to power start-stop technology, backup cameras, entertainment systems, and all other electrical demands of vehicles today. Learn more at autobatteries.com. And if you have a question about your car, truck, or SUV, you just give us a call. That number 800-224-9090 or 706-863-5800. Saturday mornings, 805 to 10 Eastern time. You can also watch us at ccautoshow.com and that's an area that you can also place a question.
If you want to ask us something as I will, uh, we have one there now. I'll mention that James has a 2016 Prius. Great car, except it has a very annoying rattle around the left rear strut. Nothing is seems to be loose. Unfortunately, many times that turns out to be inside the strut itself. Yeah. Many times there's that. And of course, obviously the top of that strut mount, which necessarily wouldn't feel loose by the hand of course, but when the vehicle weighed on it, it very well could. Yeah. There are gas struts over time.
Sometimes the gas leaks out and that'll make them make a noise like that. So just check again, make sure everything's good and tight, or you could take it off, put it on the other side, put the other side on that side. That would work. It might take a little while. Where are we going?
Let's go back to JC. You had, uh, we were following up with his window. Yeah.
JC, uh, you had mentioned that your windows were doing some very unusual things and you mentioned some other issues that you were having with your Dodge. That's correct. Yeah.
The windows rolling down by the cells and also added on that ABS lights stays on this time skid named ABS brakes are not working. I just wonder if it's all tied in together. Gotcha. Uh, so when you say the windows rolled down, did they physically roll all the way down or did they just come down that little three quarters all the way down?
They do. Okay. And I can hit the lock button on the inside and the windows roll down. Okay. So not only on the key fob, but on the actual switch also. Correct.
Okay. Uh, there is some, uh, controlling done by what's called a driver's door module on those vehicles. Uh, it, the reason it has a module is because obviously it's a pretty smart, uh, you know, window system. Uh, as you've seen that, you know, under normal, uh, operation, of course, when you open the doors, the windows drop by about, you know, three quarters of an inch or so, so that they can actually, the doors can open. Uh, is that function still functioning as we speak or? Yes, it still works.
Okay. Uh, because what, what I would recommend in this instance is, uh, of course having a scan tool now, not your everyday scan tool will do this. It would have to be more of a dealer level scan tool, uh, go into that driver's door module and actually retrieve all the DTCs or diagnostic trouble codes because you may find that, uh, it could be a shorted sensor. It could be a shorted switch.
Uh, there may be a signal that it's getting that of course it doesn't like, or it's seeing, uh, commanding those windows to go all the way down. Um, cause it, and then same with your traction light, uh, it's going to require that same scan tool to go into the ABS module and figure out what the issue is. I will say those vehicles are quite notorious for, uh, wheel speed sensors.
Now, unfortunately, I can't tell you which one because all of them are kind of failing. Of course, there's one at each wheel for to choose from. Uh, so I think if you did, uh, you know, want to get those issues repaired, which I would, uh, you would definitely benefit from a diagnostic test that has the capabilities of going into that vehicle and talking to it, what we call bi-directionally, meaning to all the modules, see what trouble codes are in there.
And JC, I think it's either that, or there's a possibility that someone has hacked into your car and when they roll those windows down, they're just sitting there laughing, especially if it's real cold or raining, they're sitting there looking at their buddy next to them and say, watch this. Uh, JC kind of another different question by any chance, do you have another key for it? Um, yeah, somewhere. You may dig it out. You may dig it out just because for, for two reasons, one for a testing purposes, see if it does it with that key also, but two, when you do take it in for that diagnostics, it would be helpful to have both keys. Cause sometimes if you have to reprogram some of the modules, you have to have all the keys or that are programmed to the car.
Okay. Now on the tire pressure thing, I saw something on YouTube where it's right behind the driver's side, front tire that there's a module in there that controls that too. Is that true?
I believe it is. I thought it was on the passenger side, but yeah, there's a receiver mounted in the vehicle somewhere. And that's the module that pretty much steps all the transmissions or the, the, they, they, the identification of the transmitters and that, but interprets the signal. And then of course obviously gives the vehicles.
Okay. One more quick question. Um, on the, uh, ABS computer module, where's that located under the hood? Uh, that would be directly on the ABS unit. So if you follow the brake lines down on the driver's side, all the way down at the lower front corner of the subframe, uh, you know, it kind of looks like a, a big box with a bunch of brake lines running into it. It's the module that physically secures to that pump. Okay.
And my favorite, uh, tool is my channel lock pliers. And I want to report a bright object in the sky. I haven't seen in a while, so I'll get off the phone now and I appreciate it. You've seen a, um, you've seen a bright object this morning. Yeah. I can't believe it.
I don't know. I tell you what, uh, I tell you what I read and I was supposed to get up and look at it, but at five 42, at five 42, there was a, uh, the space shuttle. I mean, the, um, the space station, he's talking about the sun. Oh, the sun. We haven't seen the sun. Oh, well, he brought that up and I was sitting there as he was talking about that.
Gotcha. I was, I was sitting there thinking about the space station went over today at five 42 AM. And it came from the south west, south, south west. I saw that last time.
I hadn't seen the sun in a while. I have to get there and see what that looks like. Also, Jason. Yeah. All right. Thank you. Hey, great call.
Uh, number to call 7 0 6 8 6 3 5 800 or 2 2 4 1 800 2 2 4 9090. And we, uh, we will mention another question that we got from CC auto show.com. And you could only put in so many characters in this one.
So I'm not able to get all of it, but, uh, this, uh, this is Richard said, no question. Just my favorite tool Dremel. He loves to Dremel. It's got a cutting attachment and, uh, in a sanding attachment.
So he really uses that a lot. And where are we going? Let's go to max. Hey max, welcome to the CNC auto show. And what can we help you with? Good morning. Thank you for taking my call. I'm going to 2005 on TC.
And I'm along with the earlier color. I have a tire pressure indicator life. That won't go away. I've had all the sensors replaced in the wheels and the guy that was helping me told me the only thing he knew left to do was to replace the main computer.
Is there anything you guys know? Max, you know, if you reprogram those sensors or if he did, do you know? Yeah, he did.
I don't know how, but he said he did anyway. The only issue I've seen is TPMS lights are very, uh, I guess finicky would be a good word for it. If those sensors, there's many aftermarket sensors that of course will work. And there's unfortunately many aftermarket sensors will not work. Did you replace it with that OE sensor or aftermarket? That's a good question.
I don't have the answer to. So the most common frequency a TPMS sensor operates on is 315 or 455, actually 415 too. And if for some reason they unfortunately installed the wrong frequency sensors, you can reprogram them, you recognize them, but it just simply doesn't recognize the from it. So there is a possibility of that.
Maybe if you could do some homework and find out maybe does he have the part number or something like that, we can make sure that they fit. Um, because honestly I've never, I can't say I've ever replaced any kind of TPMS module on a Toyota Honda's yes, but not Toyota. Generally speaking, it's always seems to be always a tire pressure. And max, I'll mention something that I know someone did that similar to this, but pretty much like taking an air tank. They wanted their light out no matter what. And the wheels that they had there, there was no way for tire pressure monitor sensors to fit in it.
So they took an air tank and put all the sensors inside there and then put it in the trunk. So you can try that. Hey max, we're out of time. Appreciate the call very much. And the time clock is on me. We need to pull over, but we will be back on the road. No time. I'm Aaron Clements here with co-host Don Ryan Mooney and show producer Mason Rogers. We would all like to say thank you for riding with us on the CNC auto show.
