you ruined your tire pressure monitor by using fix-a-flat..... NEVER use fix-a-flat

working at big O for the past 2 months and ive bet ive put in 100 cuz ppl put fix a flat in the tire.... its crazy but it eats the base of the sensor and destroys the chip inside. my buddy at toyota told me a while ago when i tried to help a friend she had replaced one and it wouldnt read the new one, so i tried to get it to program with our tool at work. but the only way is to have the toyota read and program the serial number in. |

Wonder if Fix-A-Flat (and similar products) have put a clear warning label on their cans?? Seems like a widespread problem now.
I'm glad I have an '07 which is before law required TPMS's. I know how to check my own pressure.
