Tire Pressure Sensors (07 Toyota Camry)

[ABLE1]

@db4690

if I’m looking to buy a used car, and the tpms light is lit or covered by black electrical tape . . . I’m going to wonder what else the seller has ignored. I might even begin to wonder if the car was well maintained

I’m NOT suggesting your Camry isn’t well maintained. I’m merely telling you what MY thought processes would most likely be

As in “caveat emptor”

So from my perspective I find the sensors not worth my time or dollars.

Your car is required by Federal law to be equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system.

Your car is required by Federal law to be equipped with a catalytic converter.

You may not find either system to be worth your time or dollars, but they are both there because someone somewhere decided that they benefits outweigh the costs.

Like I really needed more of that.

Now that I understand the Fed’s are involved I found this to be a bit useful.
