Does Slime ruin a TPMS sensor? Thank you!

Sorry, I don't have TPMS on my tyres, so I wouldn't know. But there seems to be a sensor-safe variant of slime : http://slime.com/188/products/18-oz-tpms-tire-sealant-for-auto-trailer-10113/ , that would be the best option to be absolutely sure.

No! We have had 3 clogged toilets on our septic system since we tried this TP out. Will go back to our other brand.

No. These are calibrated for a specific rsnge of pressure. Using the wrong one may leave your TPMS warning light to stay on constantly.

I would say that inserting the metal end of the sensor into the liquid would be OK. Dropping it in to where the sensor is completely covered, probably not. It is just crimped on the end. The risk would be it getting dropped all the way in. Pretty hard to avoid if there is a lot of activity.

If the sensor is capable of outputting it yes. The tool reads ID#. pressure, temp, and battery life. It will not tell you the months though. Driving habits have a major impact on the life of a TPMS battery.

Hmmm, I didn't have this problem, but I assume it's something to do with an algae that grows in your climate? I was using them indoors in Seattle in the winter, so slime wasn't an issue.

Yes. Use a little hair gel on the sensors after wetting for a better contact with skin.

I had to replace one a few years ago. I believe I reset it so many times that the reset failed to function properly. I read Hippie Bob's suggestion and wish I had tried that before I discarded the original sensor. Good luck .

NO!! Do not use this type of brush or cleaner pad on a sensor. You need a brush spaciffically made for a sensor. These are LENS PEN's and are meant to only be used on a lens.

I was unable to make ANY aftermarket TPMS sensors work with our Nissan Altima. After about $500 spent all replaced just to take it to the dealer and be told they won't set and they have to be bought at the dealer. I'm living with the light on and just checking the tires the old fashioned way.

I'm curious too. I don't know if 443 MHz VDO Redi-Sensor is incompatible with Koolertron or if an activation tool is needed. Has anyone had luck finding replacement sensors for Koolertron TPMS?

It rides in center of tire so it shouldn't affect the sensor, but filling through valve stem is probably not a good idea. I'd break bead on tire and fill that way ic possible.

We were having problems with our tank sensor light not working. Read about this product and gave it a try. The sensor light dysfunction cleared up after two tank applications. We purchased this product Fall of 2014. Because we live in FL, sometimes our tanks have a bad odor in the heat of the summer. Unfortunately, I can't attest to its performance during the hot humid FL weather as yet. To further address your question, yes, this product takes the place of the pucks, liquid or other powders used to control odor and break down solids in your black water tank. So far we have been pleased with the performance of this product and would recommend it. Dual purpose also, cleans the toilet bowl before flushing.

During extensive testing for the company I worked for it was found that Slime rarely worked on any leak unless the hole was extremely small. It would never work if the leak was on the sidewall of the tire due to the flexing of the rubber.

The two sensors that are on the far right of the unit might be crusted with deposits.I would fill the base full with 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar (if it's real full it will cover thesensors) or you can chip it off but be careful about damaging the sensor).

Yes. This is what I'll be doing as well, bypassing the sensor. One of my many projects for this weekend. Lol

yes, but you have to clear the stem (use the shrader valve stem removal tool) before you can add the slime to the tube.
