If you are in a cold weather area you should look at the fault code explanations here:
Secondary Air Injection System Codes: Toyota & Lexus | Hewitt Tech
C1201 – Engine Control System Malfunction – VSC and TR(A)C Prohibited
P2445 – Pump Stuck OFF Bank 1 * Important cold weather note, see below in red.

I'm familiar with those codes as I installed the Slyfox bypass kit a while back. I was getting these almost daily and have not had a single issue since installing the kit...until this.
I took the truck to Autozone and my battery was not even at 1/2 power...it was over 5 years old. Something tells me this was part of the problem. Oddly, I noticed my rear LED brake lights weren't illuminating all if the small LEDs a few days before all of this. Everything is back to normal there after the new battery. I suspect there wasn't enough juice from the battery to even get the ECU to act right.
Anyway, the truck is back to "normal" except for the stupid blinking then steady TPMS light...that coincidentally started lighting up exactly the same time as all the other lights. As far as checking my tires...I filled all five tires up to 33 psi two days prior to this happening.
Rather than 'reset' or bypass, I replaced OEM sensors with Autel.
Some tire shops have the tool already, although I bought a new Autel MaxiTPMS 'TS508WF' for my own use at $160. Autel Valve+Sensor units (metal stemmed) cost around $25 each, you can program IDs as you please- even putting duplicate IDs into sensors on different rims, for the case of summer versus snow tires swaps.
Easy to use. My longer Thread is at: My TPMS upgrade/replacement, $280 plus some time.
