TPMS reprogramming?

Bought a set of steelies with tires that had under 10K from a 2022(i think) SR To put on my 2019 SR and it came with UNMOUNTED TPMS' sensors

I would like to run Summer/Winter tire sets....

• Can I check the sensors to make sure they work? Sure if I have a tool that will read the Signal being sent out by the TPMS sensor.... AUTEL TS408 and 508 are mentioned frequently but there are others
• Can I just "break the bead" install the sensors and then just get the tires balanced? sure it's not a small prius tire so breaking that bead maybe tough
• How do I program the new to me Sensors on my truck? Essentially you Get an Autel or other device that reads the wireless signal from your current sensors and send it wirelessly to the new aftermarket sensors. Unsurprisingly but frustratingly this appears to be not possible (or very difficult with out some expensive tool) with Toyota OEM sensors.
• Will it pass inspection (NY) if the TPMS system is not working? YES for NY in this case. See your state below as per TIRERACK.com
• 
  
• Does TPMS have to be functional in order to pass inspection?
  Delaware No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  Hawaii Yes. TPMS needs to be functioning properly in order to pass inspection.
  Louisiana No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  Maine No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  Massachusetts No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  Mississippi No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  Missouri No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  New Hampshire No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  New Jersey No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  New York No. TPMS is inspected but it is not grounds for inspection failure.
  North Carolina No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  Pennsylvania No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  Rhode Island Yes. TPMS needs to be functioning properly in order to pass inspection.
  Texas No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  Utah No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  Vermont Yes. TPMS needs to be functioning properly in order to pass inspection.
  Virginia No. Confirmed by the DMV.
  West Virginia Yes. TPMS needs to be functioning properly in order to pass inspection.

Thanks for the many years of knowledge and in advance for the future knowledge!

 

Your fav garage tire shop can scan your new wheel sensors to see their health.

PITA and you can't reuse rubber stems once installed in the rim.

You need to have the right tools to reprogram the truck to the other four sensor ID#s.

I can't tell you.

Do this \/

The simplest is to get a set of four clone sensors, Autel 315MX is what I use. Add each OEM ID# into each clone sensor with the right tool, which copies the four ID#s that your truck already has programmed into it with your stock wheels. Swap wheels when you want, familiarize yourself with the TPMS in your owners manual, and hit the TPMS button at your left knee.

 

Thanks so much I will look into that....

 

I have the stock wheels and sema wheels for my 19 sport, both sets with oem toyota sensors. I use the autel TS508, and reset them each spring and fall, for winter/summer useage. Super easy, and no trips to the tire store, or added fees. Ski

 

umm I like that idea and am usually up for buying a new "tool" but I am seeing prices range from 275-350 for that thing.... kinda high IMHO for "tool" that I will use twice a year.... I like the cloning idea better because my wallet doesn't take as much of a hit....

 

If I may ...... what is the "right tool" to clone the originals any way?

Autel TS408 is one of many they make.
I didn’t have a OBDII reader, so I bought the TS601

 

Here is the process.... using a MaxiTPMS TS508...

not that it goes in depth or anything but it's nice to see it before you do it.... 11:55 is where to start from unless you want to "hang out" with some random dude in garage, which i actually did...

So if I understand correctly

I really CAN NOT just "reprogram/clone" the loose OEM Toyota sensors I have with the ID's from the Sensors that are currently on the truck?

I CAN buy some Autel new sensors and clone the ID's from currently installed Sensors on the vehicle with an Autel "reprogrammer" like the

Autel Ts408 and 508..


this is my first time dealing with TPMS sensors... so I am somewhat of a newbie...... apologies for the questions....

 

Correct.

That’s the best option if you want to go back and forth between wheels.

I have the ATEQ Quickset X and three season / winter wheels with OEM sensors in both sets and swap the TPMS in and out using the ATEQ tool and OEM sensors.

If I were to do it again (and didn’t get wheels with OEM sensors already in there) I’d have gone Autel with cloneable sensors.

 

after you pay the tire store 4 times to swap, you will see the value in having the tool. if I remember correctly, I bought mine new off ebay for way cheaper than that, in 2020. seems they have a new version with wifi updates for around the 149.00 mark. not sure if it is better or not. ebay has the one I have for 239.00 your results may vary.

Thank you @MikeyMcFly
and also thank you @skidooboy...

of course they make it expensive. I'd rather know how to do it AND have the tool than be a "prisoner" to the shop or even worse the dealership.

 

100% you got it!

I have three wheelsets for my '17 and only 4 sensor ID#s
