    I had a 3" front and 2 " rear spacer lift with new UCA done to my 2019 Tacoma Double Cap Off-Road. Now none of my TPMS sensors read no work was done to the tires and I am still using the original 16" factory wheels. The warning light comes on once in a while some times solid and some times flashes. Any Ideas

    Have you tried resetting them by following the procedure in your manual? Theres a button underneath the steering wheel that you have to press.

    Something like this:
    ■ How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
    1. Vehicles without a smart key system: Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position. Vehicles with a smart key system: Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the engine switch off. Initialization cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving.

    2. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level. (P. 577) Make sure to adjust the tire pressure to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will operate based on this pressure level.

    3. Vehicles without a smart key system: Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position. Vehicles with a smart key system: Turn the engine switch to IGNITION ON mode.

    4. Press and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the tire pressure warning light blinks slowly 3 times. Vehicles with a multi-information display: “- -” will be displayed for inflation pressure of each tire on the multi-information display while the tire pressure warning system determines the position of each tire. When position of each tire is determined, the inflation pressure of each tire will be displayed on the multi-information display.

    5. Vehicles with a multi-information display Drive the vehicle at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 minutes. When initialization is complete, the inflation pressure of each tire will be displayed on the multi-information display. Initialization will take longer than approximately 10 minutes if the vehicle is stopped for a long time, such as at traffic signals.

    Yes, Hold button wait for light to blink 3 times then drive 10 miles. This does not fix it

    10 miles doesn't cut it sometimes. Plenty of people have stated that they need to drive a lot further than that. My personal experience, last time, it took me a good day of driving to get them to start reading again.

    Did they remove the front and rear tires to install the pucks and blocks?
    One or two might have broke off in the tire when they were dropped.

    They did remove the tires, guess it is possible they broke all 4 and have about 100 miles after resetting, have reset about 4 times.

    Go to your local tire shop you trust and have them hook up a TPMS programmer to it. They should be able to put it in relearn by the OBD and it should fix the problem.
