My suggestion probably isn't helpful but.. why bother? Have you ever actually been helped by it? If your tires start running low you'll probably feel it.. Or if you get a blow out then it wouldn't have helped you anyway.

Here.
1 Piece Tire Pressure Sensor Dill 1204A Toyota/Lexus | eBay
and here
TPMS Sensor 1204-A Fits Lexus Toyota Scion Dill Air Controls Tire Pressure | eBay
Will get you a set at roughly 30$ each.
I would expect to pay around 40$ for them to be installed and programmed to your runner.

my advice is if you really think you need one to go with an aftermarket setup that give the correct tire pressure not just a light. something like this maybe, https://www.amazon.com/Orange-Monit...65?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1477572755&sr=1-6 or https://www.amazon.com/CARCHET-Pres...rd_wg=lfm6v&psc=1&refRID=P7GH6FA4QVQ7W3P0FGTJ only problem is the batteries wont last 10+ years like the toyota tpms

Discount tire charged me $62 for one sensor that went out. So far only one has faulted on my 2007.

you only replace it when there's a problem. my truck is 11 years old and so far the battery is still good. believe me, tpms is very critical to your safety. you know exactly when your tire pressure is low. do you check your tires all the time? maybe you do when you don't have a tpms.

I recommend doing the bypass. My TPMS light was on when I bought my truck because of a dead battery somewhere. I've never owned a vehicle with TPMS before this so am used to keeping an eye on my tires and feeling for when something's wrong. Did the bypass and now I no longer have a flashing orange light annoying the hell outta me.
Not worth the hundreds of dollars unless you really just don't enjoy checking your tire pressure. Especially since ours won't tell you what your actual tire pressure is, like some other cars do (which would be useful)

Such a rudimentary system
I would be more apt to replace the sensors if they did more than just set off the warning light. At least in my Silverado you get the actual pressure of each tire, which is very helpful.

Unless you or the tech is relearning the system everytime a tire rotation is performed it won't be accurate. You need to do the "GM Tire Dance" to relearn them everytime, most everyone doesn't do that (dealerships are maybe doing it depending on the dealer's quality).
Toyota's newest TPMS systems in some vehicles combines the TPMS and ABS system functions to determine wheel position without needing to do a procedure; which is pretty cool.
Honestly, I'm still iffy about TPMS; it's come in handy where I had a tire a bit low because I accidentally under-inflated it after a off-road trip and on a cold morning it tripped the system. I probably wouldn't have noticed it until much later when I would have checked tire pressure, but I probably would have caught it eventually.
I will note that LT tires will look fairly inflated even when very low on air; so you might have a nail in the tire and not even notice it visually unless you're checking tire pressure every day.
I replaced all 5 sensors after my light started flashing. I figured after 12.5 years, the batteries were going dead. I had the dealership install them for $200 which was a steal.
I was driving on highway when the tpms light suddenly came on. I pulled over and noticed a hissing sound coming from the rear. The rear passenger side tire had a piece of metal shrapnel in the tire. I avoided a blowout on the highway going 80mph. And thats why I paid almost $500 for 5 new OEM sensors with installation.

No it's not... Most cars didn't even come with these things until 2006 or so and the automotive industry seemed to do just fine up to that point.
With dead batteries, sensitivity to cold/hot weather, errors, high cost, PITA to replace, etc, these sensors are sometimes more trouble than they're worth.
