    Hi
    I have read everything I can find in the forum about TPMS and haven't found what I need yet.
    Any and all advice is appreciated.
    I took my 2018 Tacoma to Sams Club to get new tires.
    After they were installed, the tire pressure
    showed --- for all 4 tires. I tried the method in the owners manual to reset,
    but nothing changes when I hold in the TPMS switch (tire icon keeps flashing).
    I went back to ask the service manager why
    they had not reset the TPMS sensors.
    He stated that they could not communicate with the OEM
    sensors. The diagnostic trouble codes returned were:
    c2121h, c2177h, c2121 and c2177.
    Any ideas about how to proceed? New sensors?
    Any ideas?

    I bet Discount Tire would hook you up with a TPMS reset for free.

    I assume that the TPMS Warning Lamp was not on prior to the tire replacement and these are the original TPMS Sensors.

    Since you have a 2018 Truck the sensors should still be good as my two vehicles Highlander 2010 lasted 12 years before one went out and my Tacoma 2012 are still all original.

    Having all four go out at the same time is ODD. They probably damaged them when swapping out the tires. I would go back and strongly suggest to management they correct their error.

    Any decent tire shop should be able to get them working (unless they were damaged during the tire mounting). Take the truck back and see the store manager if necessary.
