    Hi All,

    If I have two sets of wheels/tires, one for summer another for winter, do I need to reprogram the TMPS sensors every time I switch from summer to winter tires?

    I’m thinking about getting a second set of wheels and tires. Is reprogramming the TPMS something I can do myself or do I need to take it to a shop? And if I can do it, could someone spell out how to do it?

    Someone on the forum apparently has his own TPMS scan tool but I don’t remember who it was.
    If you live near a Discount Tire or Americas Tire you can stop in and have a TPMS reset done for free.

    The nice thing is for those who have 2018-2020 Tundra's like yourself. Is the 2018-2020 can self learn their TPMS sensors, that is provided you have the correct compatible sensors installed for your Tundra.
    All you have to do is follow the instructions in the manual (basically push the TPMS reset button) it is located by your right knee on the dash and once initiated all you have to do is take the truck on about a 10 mile drive and it will relearn/reset to the new sensors from your alternate set of wheels.

    So if your signature is correct that you have a 2019 model tundra you should not need to take it into a shop to reset to your alternate wheels and tires.

    I have been driving for 50 yrs, not until recently have I had to deal with a TPMS, you looked at the tire if it looked low you put in air, that was it end of story. First sign of issues i will find a way to disconnect the whole mess.

    I ended up buying my second set of wheels/tires at Discount Tire. The manager said they would swap out between the two sets of wheels whenever I wanted for no charge, and reset the TPMS each time. Save me from having to do it myself in the garage and the TPMS gets reset. Sounded like a pretty good deal to me. Inexpensive wheels and Hankook-made AT tires with TPMS sensors for $1324.

    Thanks for shopping with Discount Tire. :thumbsup:

    What scan tool or tools would be needed to swap sensors. I’m in the same boat.

    You can buy programmable TPMS sensors (I buy Autel), and then program them to have the same ID as the original ones. Then you don't need worry about programming the ECU ever again. I do this on all my vehicles.
    I've seen services people offer on other forums where they'll program sensors for you for free if you buy the sensors from them. Normally tire shops will read the serial IDs for you for free too.

    never heard of this. In fact it’s been quite the opposite with most 18+ trucks for people who have put in new sensors.

    The sensors have to be programmed to the system in the vehicle with the serial numbers on the sensors themselves and pressing the tpms reset button will not do this.

    I stand corrected. With a more recent experience of having to replace a factory sensor on my 2020 Sequoia, I did have to upload the new sensor code into the truck. I guess all it can do is relocate them. My tundra must have still had the OEM sensors stored somewhere when I used the button on the truck.

    I have an Autel TS508 that I use for my 2019 Tundra, 2011 Sienna and 2010 CR-V. Many of the Autel TPMS tools offer complimentary lifetime updates through computer software that's free to download, and there's a version for Windows OS and Mac OS. There are some slightly lessor expensive TPMS tools available from Autel, that also include a OBD cable but I went with the TS508 because it wasn't terribly more and seemed to be the most recent edition of the basic tool. They do make some tools that will not do a relearn via OBD copy, so be aware when shopping. They also make several more expensive units that provide more functions beyond TPMS, but from my research those either aren't as easy to use and/or don't work quite as well for the TPMS function, which was my primary objective. So far, it seems to work great but it is imperative that you either have OEM sensors or after market sensors that are actually compatible with the vehicle. There's plenty of threads here to learn more about after market sensors and compatibility based on your wheel type and model year. HTH. Cheers

    That is my objective as well...I have two sets of OEM sensors. One set that is on the truck now and one set on some spares. My goal is to swap wheels and sensors depending on which set I need to run

    Base on user manual for 2020 Tundra, you can register ID codes from the tire pressure warning reset switch.

    I can corroborate this. Discount broke one of mine and replaced it "free of charge". However, the truck has never recognized the new sensor and I haven't been able to tell my tire pressure -- this part boggles the mind -- on ALL FOUR TIRES, not just the one with the bum sensor.

    Thanks for the excerpt from the manual. I'll try on my way home.

    As far as I know, the ECU will only store 4 TPMS IDs at one time. I was able to use the button to get the new IDs registered into the ECU when I swapped over from the steel wheels to the TRDOF wheels with new TPMS sensors using the button. It did take more than 30 mins because I wasn't doing a whole lot of varied speeds and turns as recommended in the manual.
