TPMS reprogramming reset

so even if ill replace my current oem wheels which has stock tpms to another oem wheels w tpms from another taco of same yr and model, will i still have to find out the serial number id code of the other tpms and reprogram it to the vehicles ecu?

 

Yes, you need to tell the tpms monitor who it should be listening to.
Imagine going down the road and tpms system connecting to every single sensor it finds as your driving along...
That being said... Tire shops have tools that can read the sending units serial number. If you have, or know someone that has techstream on a laptop, you can program the new sending units to the monitor.

 

ok thanks. just dont want to dismount tires just to get the serial code of new tpms.

 

Discount tire has a magic wand that can read the numbers when they hold it near the wheel. Then they can plug into the OBD2 connector and program the numbers into the truck.

 

We got the snap-on one, works really good

 

If you know the TPMS sensor codes from the 2nd set of wheels, is there a way to reprogram the TPMS monitoring system with the new codes, without a scan tool?

The '17 TRD I just picked up has nearly new but very aggressive tread (noisy), LT265/75R16 tires on it. I'm planning to return the truck to the OEM size/type tires on the existing alloy wheels. I've found a set of '19 OEM steel wheels, with TPMS sensors for short $$, and I intend to have the removed tires installed on these steel wheels to be winter tires.

 

Yes but you'll need Techstream to program them into the truck. Either you need a TPMS scanning tool or Techstream on a laptop.....
