How to register new TPMS sensors on 2019

I searched and read on here and haven't found a definitive answer. I purchased new TPMS sensors for my wheels and so far my truck will not recognize them. I pushed the button below the steering wheel and the dash light flashed three times. The Tire pressure screen now says to please wait while it recalibrates. I have driven 40 minutes and still the same message. Do I need to be more patient, drive more, get a cloning / programming tool or take it to the dealer so they can screw me out of a few hundred bucks to fix.

Hmm, if it's anything like the "Refuel" message I was receiving on my truck for about 10miles after installing my grille LEDs/disconnecting my battery, hopefully it will go away on it's own after driving it some more I was so excited to see the message go away today.
Sub'd to see the outcome, hopefully you get it resolved.

 

On an ‘19, you’ll need either a scan/program tool or access to techstream. I like the Autel brand scanner and sensor, but make sure you get one with the cord that plugs into the OBD2 port. If you have techstream, you’ll still the the hexidecimal code to program it into the TPMS ECU. You can get this by stopping at almost any tire store and having them scan it for you.

 

Why did you 'replace' them?
The internal batteries last 10 or more years..

Hope you get it figured out...

 

Update. I purchased new bk-sens brand pre-programmed sensors from Rock Auto. The sensors I purchased were a lesser name and not pre-programmed and I cannot find a programmer that will work with them. I replaced the sensors because I purchased new wheels and tires and wanted to keep the stock set together for resale. One of the stock set stems is bad now anyway. I am hoping the new pre-programmed ones will register once they are mounted otherwise I guess I will need to go to the Tundra shop. I have Techstream but it is an older version and it is not showing a place in there to add the new codes for sensors.

 

What version of techstream are you using?

 

Thank you for the update. This is very good to know as I'm new to TPMS

I purchased replacement OE sensors from Toyota when I bought my BBS wheels. I followed the TPMS reset or relearn (I don't recall the phrase used exactly) as listed in the owner's manual. It worked on my first try and haven't had any issues since.

 

The OE Toyota sensors seem to magically register. The aftermarket ones don’t in my experience. Either upgrade your techstream to 16 or later, or invest in a TPMS tool. I was skeptical when I bought mine, but with 4 cars in our household it has paid for itself many times over.

 

According to the reviews for those sensors, they need to be programmed/cloned with the oem TPMS ID #s. Something like the

$189 Autel TS408 S Relearn Tool: 2024 OBD Programmming Scanner, Trigger 99% OEM, Universal 315, 433 Sensor, TPMS Reset, Diagnose, Read, Clear TPMS DTCs, Upgraded of Autel TS408, 401, Work as TS501

Autel TS408 can do that. Or, as has been suggested, go to a tire shop to clone them for you.

 

The brand of sensors I bought appear dead or are needing activated or they are really proprietary. I broke down and bought a Autel scanner and tried deflating the tire while scanning and nothing. I scanned my old tires and they were recognized immediately. So I purchased another set of programmed sensors from Rock Auto and I will see if those work. The scanner is neat as it will hook up to the OBD port and put the HEX codes from the sensors right into the truck and register them. The part I hate is going back to Discount Tire to have them replace the sensors. At least I can scan the new ones first to make sure I can see them. Another stupid and expensive lesson on my part especially since I will probably not need to mess with these again in the life of the truck.

 

Hi all, research regarding my tpms sensors led me to this great site. Thought i would share a bit of info in resolving my issue. I see alot of discussion regarding tpms tools such as the autel and others, they are a useful device if you dont have access physical access to the tpms sensor itself. But if you are replaceing one or all the sensors just note each individgual sensor id codes and location on the vehicle. I use a xtool model D7 to relearn the new sensors by typing in the new sensor codes for each wheel location into the scan tool, reset the dtc codes and task complete. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMCsthz3gug
This particular unit is aprox $ 400 . But if your in to diy repairs, its loaded with handy features. My 2011 tundra requires accurate transmission tempature range be establised to properly set fluid level. THis feature alone saved me the cost of having a dealer drain and fill my transmission. My point is for a extra few hundred bucks, it provides a ton of great capabilities.

 

This cheap one works for me

I like how it keeps track of sensor id's for winter summer tire change overs. I assume after its all progamed a computer interface isnt required, you can just plug the obd2 port and relearn quick and easy.

 

That is what this one does.
You download the sensor ids the odb2 device then to an app
and then if you change one you go in the app and put in the new ID then plug back into truck and it reprogams it
keeps summer and winter IDs also
It is not high end but I have been using swapping damaged tpms sensors on my truck and also changing winter/summer tires an my sons car also

I dont have winter on my tundra so I just duplicated the IDS

 

this replacement works perfectly for my 17

I thought the later years had a more finicky TPMS procedure/software, would make sense as to why it was so much easier on a 2017. If i recall, 2018-2021 were more picky.

 

Hmm yeah that could be

 

Does that unit scan id codes thru the tire as well?

 

it does not unfortunately. yeah u need to keep track if one has to be changed I write the ID down first. As long as U do that all good.
Assuming u r asking about the unit I posted?
for $99 its been perfect for what I need. Have a scan tool that doesnt do tpms and use an odbc module and torque app for trans temp etc...
