I've been reading a bit more on the air-bleed 's possible I didn't cause the pressure to drop enough (but I let at least 10psi out)Ĭlick to expand.The EETimes article quotes: Seems like it falls in the category of 2012s that had the alternative methods removed I had hoped that despite what I had read here, perhaps my MY2012 might have older HW or FW. I experimented a bit with releasing air from a tire, and was also unable to get that to work either. I tried using a head positioning magnet from a 3.5' hard disk at the wheel (various locations as described elsewhere), but was unable to get the car to recognize a sensor (tried old and new wheels for this) My turn signals do light up to indicate which position the car wants to train I ended up going to a shop to swap the wheels on because I still don't have a good way to jack the car up, and they used an electronic relearn tool, which worked quickly.īefore I went to the shop, I experimented with the OEM sensors and the learning process. Recently ordered snow tires on rims with TPMS sensors ordered from TireRack, and put them on the car today. Everything is normal because no trouble codes show! I sold it to Car Max.and bought the Chevy Volt and filed a trouble complaint with the government safety bureau dealing with automobile safety.Ĭar is a MY2012, we took delivery Jan of 2012. Same response from the Dealer and Toyota.

The steering became stiff and couldn't keep it in the lane on I95.

My 2007 Prius started loosing the ability to steer the car. Toyota never could duplicate the issue so the said it was the gas pedal and cut it shorter! Toyota tested my theory of RF interference but used VHF frequencies instead of the real RF interference possibility of a CB trucker using illegal high power next to the Prius. The possibility of RF interference jamming the computer system as in the case of the Toyota Prius speeding up and almost crashing. The car is only 1 1/2 years old and the batteries are suppose to last 5 years from what I understand.Īs for interference.the tire sensors and the display use a frequency in the 450 MHz band (UHF) so not many consumer devices are able to interfere with it.
