Can you register 2 sets of TPMS sensors?

LOL!! this^^^ so logical, but still missed. the light doesnt tell the driver WHICH tire is low..you still have to go around with a tire gauge to locate the offending tire..

 

Nothing was missed what I said was the ECU knows the location of each sensor. And yes you can ride around with a PVC tube rolling around in your truck if you like but there is a better way. You can keep the system and have any wheels you like. The 2 options below allow you to mount your sensors in aftermarket wheels and keep your TPMS system.

 

The TPMS Sensor sends a radio signal to the TPMS ECU. The only way the ECU would know is if the TPMS send the ECU a location code. I do not think it sends location data.

In the Grand scheme it doesn't matter since the ECU only say a tire is low and not which one.

 

Each sensor sends it's ID code and these are assigned to locations in the ECU. Some sensors will also transmit their battery life as well. The next step in TPMS is going to be sensors glued to the inner liner of the tire that will also report tire temps as well.

 

I have a really hard time reading what you say. I just see titties.

 

Hi all.

The TPWS does not tell you which tire is low.
The only reason the manual tells you to reset the system after rotation is because they expect you to adjust the pressures if your placard says a different pressure for the front and rear tires.

Mine are 30 # times 4 anyway so it's not an issue. Plus there is a service bulletin that wants you to compensate for the difference in ambient temp. on cold days.
- set the pressures to the placard number (30 # in my case and only 4 tires on my '12- not the spare)
- reset the system
- air up anywhere from 0 to 14 # depending on how cold it could get (I run at 38 to 40 # in my 51 # max tires)

Who runs at the placard number or with the 3 # difference between front and rears anyway ? Even Toyota doesn't necessarily want you to run there.

Cheers
Ray.

 

Was told by my tire shop that they can clone my sensors. So when it's time to swap to winter tires, won't have to worry about light on the dash.
