TPMS replacement

[ATL4R]

Thank you for the input. That is kind of what I was afraid of, bait and switch. The correct sensors seem to be about $50 each...

I got these at Discount Tire : Schrader SCH 33560 TQ12 T10 315/433 EZGO 6YR/72K

They can utilize (and I’m using them with) a rubber valve stem.

Discount charges $50-60, but you can find them online for $25-30.

Thanks. Do you know if there is a price difference for install if you bring your own sensor vs buying it from Discount?

Tpms

does anyone know how to turn off the TPMS light bulb?

Restarting old thread. Purchased a used set of ORP wheels and tires. Finally installed them and the TPMS light is on. Who/how do I go about getting these reprogrammed? The spare is from the original set of wheels and has the original TPMS. Can they program the 4 ORP wheels to the spare?

easiest is to go to a toyota dealer because they have the appropriate scan tools. yeah they will charge you more than an independent shop but they can much easier troubleshoot any errors with programming

I haven't been able to confirm this but I read that there are two different frequencies of TPMS sensor and they need to be set up to transmit at the right frequency to the computer. a toyota dealer can do this easily, I don't think most people have the tools to be able to do this

the 4 new ORP wheels and spare should be able to be programmed together as long as the TPMS sensor frequencies don't conflict. I read about the frequencies on other forums when googling one day but I haven't confirmed first hand if that's really a thing

We took it into TireRama to have the TMPS reset. They came back and said we don't even have senders installed in the ORP wheels. So, we'll deal with it when these tires are done.

Interesting. Do they have the metal stems?

Here's a TPMS story.

I checked with the tire shops in town and they only used ITM Uni-Sensor programmables and would clone the existing TPMS from my stock tires to my snow tires.

I had snow tires done at one of the shops, and they couldn't get it to work: it flashes to indicate a sensor problem. They contacted the local dealership for advice and they said they only use Toyota TPMS and wouldn't support any aftermarket TPMS or cloning. All 4 clones are transmitting, yet somehow the ECU still isn't happy. ITM hasn't responded to emails although their catalog shows the 2015 4runner as compatible.

So I bought LightDims and put one over the dash indicator; in hindsight I could have done that and saved $120, it works great. Light goes off when I'm parked next to the stored stock tires in the garage, comes back on when I'm driving.

Be wary of Ebay TPMS sales: many of the auctions are marked "used" and could have any amount of battery life left. 50% off retail and 10% remaining battery isn't a good deal.

I must have said at least 2 dozen times during the whole process: "It shouldn't be this complicated."

This system only annoyed the sh1t out of me. I air down all the time then the batteries started dying after 12 years like guy said earlier. I bypassed the system and made it switchable on or off. The wires you tie the switch into is right there next to the switch station if you have a blank left. F_ck the dealer. Tire gauge works well. Bells and whistles suck thistles.

Yuge!

I went through the exact same thing, bought another set of aftermarket rims and AT tires and wanted to switch back and forth, I ended up buying an Autel 501 scanner/programmer, purchased a set of Autel programmable MX sensors off eBay. Copied the the codes from the factory Toyota sensors and downloaded to each MX sensor, worked perfect. Make sure you program new sensors before installing in the rim, also mark each sensor with a sharpie,
LF-RF-RR-LR and install them in this location on vehicle. Just to let you know that most tire centers couldn't do what I did, they didn't have a clue.
