FJ TRD Wheels and TPMS

Hey all...new to forum...thx for great advice on all topics.

Looking for some help on FJ TRD wheels and TPMS. I've checked Taco and FJ forums as best I could, dealers, etc. I've found bits and pieces and mixed information. So this is my final stop...

Here's the deal: I bought FJ/TRD Anthracite wheels (#PT904-35071) for my 07 Taco.

I want to maintain factory TPMS. What I'm quite sure, is that the steel sensors from my 16" wheels, won't work with the TRD wheels. The steel wheel sensors are 40 degree, the TRD Wheels require 20 degree, like on the factory Taco alloy TRDs.

So a couple dealers said the part number of # 42607-33011 is for the TRD TPMS sensor. However, other references have said that

$82 42607-06011 Tire Valve Sub-Assembly

42607-06011 is compatible, as they are both 20 degree sensors...

So, if anyone has experience with the TPMS sensors and alloys, I'd greatly appreciate it.

 

Hey there! Welcome. My personal plan is to either leave out the TPMS sensors, or unsoldier the LED in the gauge cluster. I am pretty anal about tire pressure so I check it regularly so I just want them gone haha.

However, since the wheels ARE toyota parts, can't the dealers just order the ones that come in them originally?

 

dgerm,

The dealer does have a part number, 42607-33011, which is an FJ part number for a 20 degree sensor. Sparks sells it the cheapest I've come across at $75/each...adding too much cost to this budget.

However, Toyota makes other 20 degree sensors, like part

42607-06011, which is more widely available, and cheaper. I couldn't get a straight answer as to whether this part number was compatible for the FJ TRD wheel.

I had contacted a few other Taco owners with the FJ TRD wheels who have TPMS enabled.

"BlueTaco" diligently researched and found that part number, 42607-06011, was stock on his Taco TRD Alloys and fit/worked on the FJ TRD Anthracite Alloys, when he upgraded.

I can get all four sensor of #42607-06011 on ebay for $100.

Huge thanks to the Forum/BlueTaco for getting me rolling...now I can focus on which tires to get...

 

hd99fxr2, did you end up installing the

42607-06011 TPMS on your Tacoma ?
Did they work ?
I found this thread by Googling the part number as I am going through the same angst with my 08 Highlander.
Stock sensors are 42607-33011 but too expensive to add to my winter set.

42607-06011[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] worked like a charm on the FJ Anthracite rim that I used on my Taco. There was NO compatibility issue with the Tacoma ECU. They were installed on August 26. I haven't had a problem yet. I even tested them by letting air out of one of the tires and it correctly registered on the dash; then went away when I re-filled to correct pressure.

I found a local tire dealer who installed them at no extra cost. Toyota dealer wanted an extra ~$90 or so to "program" the new sensors - bull. Don't get snowed by the dealer.

Hope this helps and good luck!

The forum/members are to thank for helping me solve my TPMS nightmare.

I have the stock FJ wheels on my truck, I just swapped my TPMS sensors in the FJ wheels and havent had any problems!!!!! I even have the spare FJ rim, you have to remember if u do this i believe 07-09's have tpms in the spare tires to....... i wouldnt get rid of the tpms like Dgerm wants to do, its a nice feature to have even if you check pressures regularly.. if you run over a nail and lose just a little air its better to have the light come on while driving down the road rather than not no and have a blow out or run it low and ruin the tire!!!!

 

Just do what I did on my wifes Scion XB, I put after market wheels on it and the sensors would not work. I took a piece of ABS and glued a cap on one end and a threaded cap on the other end, I taped the one end cap with a bicycle fill valve, threw all the sensors in the tube and presurized it to 40psi and threw it in the trunk. No problems, No light!
