TPMS Programming?

[Dansflhti]

Tire rack should have a programmer that can at least read the sensors to see if they are transmitting.

And determine if the id's have the same number of characters as the oem sensors.

And the same frequency.

Can you advise on my situation; Bought snow tires mounted on wheels with Pacific 315mhz TPMS (TireRack says these are what Toyota uses in my truck) installed at TireRack. I have followed directions on truck settings 10 times (for setting 2nd set of wheels/tires) and can not get pressure to display. I have no device for this so TireRack says go to Toyota dealer to have them "initialize" or program or otherwise make the new TPMS talk to the truck. I have read the TPWS part of my owners manual and it does not exactly correspond with my truck settings menus. I Have a TRD Sport with what I believe is the 12.3" digital dash display. I have an appointment with a dealership but would be happy to cancel if you have any ideas for me. Ive tried driving all around and resetting and nothing works. Thanks!

Highly unlikely they installed OE Pacific sensors as those are quite expensive and TR usually only uses "programmable" sensors. IF they would have sent the correct sensors either the OE or Programmable programmed to your year, make and model then they would RELEARN via the truck that you have already tried. The dealer CANNOT program them for you. All they are going to do is scan them for the year, make and model. IF they scan correctly then they can manually upload the ID's via OBD but again this is highly unlikely as if that were the case the truck would do the relearn via the truck settings that you tried.

My guess is TR screwed up and sent you the incorrect TPMS, In that case they need to send you correct ones because without knowing the exact brand they used you will not get them programmed. If they did install Pacific then they installed the wrong ones,
