    Does anyone know what the dealer will typically charge to register four new TPMS sensors? I am just trying to determine the cost of just getting a wheel and tire package with new sensors vs. having a local installer remove my existing sensors. Thanks all.

    You would probably get a better answer by calling your local dealer. A tire shop would also have after market sensors that they could program.

    You can buy the ATEQ TPMS Quickset tool and program the sensor IDs yourself.

    I think it was around $100 total for all 4 at my dealer. Your best bet is to call your local dealer. The prices for things like that vary way too much...

    Sensors are about $120/pc. If you have Toyota sensors from another Tacoma, they will charge about $100 to program them to your truck. If you don't mind not having TPMS, you can build a pressure chamber for $15 or so that will hold your TPMS at 30 psi and trick your light to stay off. They are non-functional at that point though.

    You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for the help. I can get sensors from tirerack and other sources for about $75 each. I am just trying to figure the entire cost if I order a wheel/tire set with TPMS installed and I have to go battle the stealership to preprogram the TPMS computer to recognize the new sensors. You guys gave me a ton of information.

    At these prices, the tool might be the best option. It also saves the time sitting at the dealer waiting for the work.

    I think TPMS is a useless feature; but I hate mickey mousing an almost new truck.

    Dealer charged me $50, I had the id codes written down. I heard later the device the dealer uses can read the codes from each wheel, while mounted and reprogram the ECM. I thought I was saving time, and a possible wheel disassembly, but evidently not. @ $50, The tirerack tool would take about 3 swaps to pay for itself, but I don't plan to swap again.

    So if I pick up a set of winter tires/wheels with the TPMS in them, I have to reprogram once and then I can swap them myself back and forth for winter and summer driving correct?

    I have a 2015 TRD off-road.

    I'm pretty sure you will have to have them reprogrammed each swap. Unless they changed the ECU after the 2012 model year there is only room for a maximum of 5 sensors to be registered in the software.

    TPMS sensor you can buy new on ebay for about $100 the set if you look. America's tire did it for free when I had them install tires on my wheels... Cost me a bit over $100 for labor of installing the tire and life time balance/rotation... they programmed and gave me a print out of the ID because I asked for it...in case I need it for the future.

    $120 at my dealer. Their "programmer" couldn't "see" my sensors to reset them so I said bag it for now and have been riding around with the light on...

    It's due back for my Toyotacare oil change in a couple hundred miles and I grabbed the numbers from Discount Tire (where I got my wheels and tires), wrote them down and will have them done during my oil change.
