    I have a 2012 tacoma and had a lift kit put on it. The guy installing the tires and rims tore up one of the tpms sensors and it no longer works. I paid for 4 news sensors!! I now have a light on in my dash and need to replace one sensor. Question is...If I replace only onoe sensor will it work with the other 3? Or do I need to replace all 4??

    The manager is worthless. He won't own the mistake.

    You don't need to replace all 4. You can replace just one sensor.

    However, when you replace a TPMS sensor you have to "register" it on the vehicle. That is, the vehicle ECU has to be programmed to know that it has a new sensor with a new ID. This is something that takes all of 5 minutes to do, but dealers like to try to charge you $100 for the service.
