New TPMS not working

They do have a silver collar at the bottom

 

I bought everything off CarId. They said it would work with my truck model

 

They do have the silver collar at the bottom so the sensors are in them

 

They have the silver collar at the bottom so the sensors are in there but they just aren’t being detected

 

I absolutely agree, I work at Ford and hate every other companies design for training TPMS. My tacomas TPMS lights been on for a year now and because of the bullshit training I have yet to bother with new sensors.

 

Well that just makes things harder for me then

 

Hey,

I am not sure what you mean when they programmed them. I just did the same type of thing. When the tires came in the tpms sensors were in sleep mode. I took my truck to a friend at Lexus and he used their scan tool to “wake up” each sensor which gave him the id# so he could program the system.

 

Thats a big help man I’ll try a different place to see if they can do that. I’m sure they just hooked up the computer to it without waking them up

 

The picture of the sensor shows an I.D. number printed on the sensor so they have a preassigned I.D. and don't need to be "programmed".

A handheld trigger tool that you point at the valve stem should read and display the I.D. number of the sensors (and wake them up if necessary).

The ATEQ tool that you pictured should have been able to do that. It's possible that they entered the vehicle info wrong. I noticed that it said Low Line which might be correct for your truck but not for the new wheels and sensors (steel vs. alloy). If there is an option for High Line on the tool, that might work. If another shop with a different tool still can't trigger the sensors, then something is clearly wrong.

I'm kind of surprised that the place you bought the wheels from wouldn't trigger the sensors after mounting. That would allow them to supply you with the I.D. numbers, wake them up if necessary and insure that they didn't get broken when mounting the tires (which is more common than you might think).

Edit: this is what comes up when you search for the mpn of the sensor shown in your picture.

It says that it is a programmable sensor that does need to be programmed to your vehicle but the description states that it comes already programmed so a call to CARID would probably be in order. Also, vehicle fitment section for that sensor does not list any Toyota vehicles.

 

I’m thinking the seller meant that those universal or, multi-vehicle sensors you bought were “pre-programmed” for a 2017 Tacoma (any 2017 Tacoma).
You’ll need to first scan each sensor at the wheel to get all four individual sensor ID’s, then you can plug into your truck with a scan tool and enter the new ID’s.

 

That's what the ATEQ tool pictured should have been able to do but wasn't for some reason.

 

When I had my sensors read they had to select a different year in the ATEQ tool to get the sensors to read. It was a known issue and they had record of what year to use for my 2018. Once they read the sensors, they couldn't program them into the TPMS ECU so I had to use techstream to manually enter the new codes.
