Replying to: stilldl (Sep 24, 2009 10:42 am) you better read through this entire thread. an alignment will most likely NOT fix the problem....

Replying to: stilldl (Sep 24, 2009 10:42 am) Whatever you decide to do, contact Toyota and file a report. I think I did this on the phone. Check their website online to find a place to start. I've since sold my 2006 Matrix back to the dealer and purchased a 2009 (at zero per cent interest). My dealer was adding a part to the wheels that should have corrected the problem when I decided to buy the new car. Again, I'll have to go into my files to find out exactly what the part was. They didn't do it for free though; it cost $180 for the part and the alignment. Unless everyone reports their problem to Toyota, they won't accept (at the dealer) that this isn't your fault. Sally
#218 of 220 TPMS sensors location by carfan19 Nov 04, 2009 (4:56 am)
Does anyone know where the tpms sensors are located in a matrix? I have a 2006 AWD and my mechanic says they're not inside the wheel but on the ABS brake system. I've never heard of this before, I always thought all carmakers put them in the stem valves. How can they read the tire pressure from the ABS system? All this came about because I'm trying to put together a winter wheels/tires package so was looking to find out how much the sensors were going to be.

Replying to: carfan19 (Nov 04, 2009 4:56 am) From what I understand it doesn't measure the actual tire pressure from inside the tire but senses if one tire is under-inflated by sensing the suspension is uneven

Replying to: carfan19 (Nov 04, 2009 4:56 am) I think it senses the wheels spinning at different RPMs. The low tire spins faster.
