    So I just received my new tires and wheels with new TPMS sensors. I had the tires mounted and assumed the new sensors needed programmed for my truck not knowing that the sensors already came pre-programmed. Now my tire pressure light is on and have no clue how to fix the issue entirely. Anyone have any suggestions?

    The sensors have to get programmed to the truck.

    They can be reprogrammed. I personally went to Les Schwab (I think Firestone does them as well) and it costed around $24 for all four sensors.

    I could try a different shop but it didn’t make sense to me that all 4 sensors were reading not detected

    Someone fat fingered the programming tool.

    Take it back and ask them to make it right.

    I'm assuming you bought this wheel and tire package online?

    You need to have someone with a scan tool program them.

    Yeah I bought them online and okay I’ll try that instead. However, the website said that the sensors already came pre-programmed

    The seller was full of shit. You need to find a shop with a by-directional scan tool or stand alone TPMS programmer.

    IMO the easiest company to program TPMS sensors for is Ford a certain key and brake action will put it into learn mode, but you have to have the receiver tool which is dirt cheap to run around the vehicle. I don't think Toyota does this, but maybe someone else can chime in.

    Find a tire shop it will be cheaper than sending them back

    Any reputable shop will have a programmer... Call around until you find one willing to do it the right way.

    They would only be pre-programmed, if you scanned all your original sensors, sent them the codes, they programmed the codes, then they sent the wheels.

    I assume you did not do this.

    Did they scan the sensors for the code? If not, they're idiots.
