    I recently purchased a very nice set of TRD off road wheels from another member and found out that the tpms sensors on my steel wheels will not fit the new wheels. I have purchased a set of sensors for the alloy wheels (from another member) but I am not sure how to get my truck to 'mate up' with the new sensors. Any help is greatly appreciated. I should mention that I have not attempted the switch as the new sensors will be installed tomorrow. Just wanted to avoid any pitfalls. Thanks again.

    Put em in. If they don't register with the computer then take your truck to either the dealer or local tire shop and they can program the new sensors to the computer. Take pics of the numbers on the sensors just in case they need that so they don't have to disassemble your stuff.

    I bought a set of TRD OR wheels on CL, that included the TPMS sensors. I wrote down the numbers on each so when I took my truck to the dealer to have the new numbers programmed in they wouldn't have to take the tires off to read them. Turned out they had a pretty simple device that could sense the id just by waving it near the valve stem on each wheel. Still probably good to have the numbers in case not all dealers have one of these readers.

    Zach at Tri County Toyota did mine for free, took less than 5 minutes to do. He had his tech stream hooked up and the scanner you mentioned read the sensors frequency.

    I am looking to swap out my steel wheels (16") on my 2013 SR5 for TRD Off road wheels (17").
    Does anybody know the part number for the new TMPS and where to get it?
    I assume the OP that I will have to go through this same process.

    Thanks.

    ^You don't need to get OEM sensors, which are expensive. The tire shop usually carries aftermarket multi-fit TPMS sensors which work just as well. I've been running Schrader EZ Sensor P/N 21620 in my summer wheels for years.

    Thanks for the info. I will ask Discount Tire what they offer. I don't see the need for purchasing Toyota OEM parts for these if there is aftermarket support.
