I was robbed in flat house tire place on plain field NJ. Three workers positioned themselves on front and passenger tires and the owner deceptively punctured a tiny hole in a real tire resulting in a flat on highway 22. I wanted to buy a used tire. They scraped the radio magnetic strips off my two front tires. The electronic suspension is not working and says when I turn. The tire lamp is on all the time. I cannot fix it and cannot find online the wheel chips that communicate with the ECU. Can you help?

Hi,

The tire pressure sensor is part of the valve stem on the wheel. The sensor is on the inside of the wheel. To access it, the tire needs to be dismounted. (See pics below)

The OEM part number for the sensor is 4313054J22. Searching for Suzuki 4313054J22 on Google will bring up options.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe

The wheels driver and passenger side had glued to the rim a strip of electromagnetic chips that talk to the computer and regulate the suspension system, what are these chips they are not wheel balancers that get clipped to edge of rim apparently the tire crew scaped the off the wheel with a spa hula, it affected the suspension. I wanted to upload a picture of the rim. I will try once again. I cannot upload a picture sorry.

Hi,

I never heard of such a thing. Anything that would be external on the wheel would fail due to dirt, corrosion, and so on. What did they tell you was removed?

The only thing I can think of that would be electromagnetic would be a wheel speed sensor, but that isn't used for the suspension. Instead, it is used for traction control, anti-lock brakes, etc. If possible, upload a picture of what you are referring to. I'm really interested in seeing a picture.

Let me know. Also, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. I hope you have a great one.

Take care,

Joe

I'm trying to download photos of radio chips cannot download memory issues, and no Internet. Grandvitatra 2010 has electronic 4 wheel drive and suspension controlled by computer.

Okay, thank you!
About the Toyota Ken, I purchased a used computer for $20.00 installed it the Toyota started up. The open relay on old computer with key on lit the test light when cranking car never started. On use computer with key on the test light never lit until key was turned it lit up that is how I knew used computer would work.
