Can you figure out what this is?

I found this device in my new Corolla, it took me a while to figure out what it is.

It looks like a missing image placeholder to me. Wow you found that in your Corolla? LoL jk

I use photobucket.com myself. once you upload the image to photobucket you can grab the URL and post it on a forum.....

I know what it is ! It's a TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) valve ! Did you find it in the glove box ??? You may wanna look on all your 4 wheels if they all have their own.

The Dogfather is right, it is the infamous Tire Pressure Sensor. If you have TPMS and don't have a warning light, someone must have drop it inside your car. Now, you have a spare.

N.E.O.

Yeah it's a TPMS valve. How come you found that and where was it? Those things are fairly expensive you know....

I found it in the armrest box. I do not know it it was put there while it was in the assembly plant ot if it wound up ther at the dealers.

Excellent question. I asked in another thread but no one responded. I tried copying and pasting photos and it worked but only temporarily. A few hours later, the photos were gone. Can someone help us out here? There should be a simple way to do this.

There are threads on the other forum that shows you how to post photos, check the Camry forum: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/fo...play.php?f=103

I went to www.freewebs.com and built a web site to host the pics.

Have you had any work done on your tires recently? Those assemblies are probably a couple of hundred $$ too! (If you buy from Tpypta...not cheap anywhere else either!)

BTW: Posting (inserting a picture) inside your message) use a photo hosting freebeebee service..... like photobucket.com (2nd icon in upper right of your posting 2nd row down from your smiley face icon (insert image icon...post card with mountain drawing thingy on it on the other end of it. Sorry for the hi tech icon description...LOL)) There must be directions somethere on this page somethere

Guys, thanks a lot for responding to my photo posting inquiry.

Next visit to your dealer, have the service manager check to make certain your vehicle is not missing a TPMS valve. Although you might be able to look at the valves themselves and make this determination, better safe than sorry. Thanks for your posting. These kinds of posts help us all.

Would'nt the TPMS warning light up on the dash if one or more of the TPMS is missing?
