    Alright, was tired of the flaking chrome on my 2007 TSS wheels, went to 20" 2014 wheels.

    I am getting mixed information. Some say the 2014 TPMS will work with 2007 ECU, some say it won't.

    I went to discount tire and they successfully identified the 2014 TPMS and plugged in via OBD2. Light went off, but came back flashing the very next start up.

    Found a guy here in D/FW that will swap all 4 sensors and program for $180. Can a dealership just reprogram the OEM 2014's to my 2007? Id rather have OEM than unknown TPMS.

    Edit: In hindsight, I should have just swapped my TPMS over, but it would require mount/balance fees for 8 wheels, which is a lot now a days ($20/wheel)

    I threw my sensors out, the light flashes for about 90 seconds and then gives off a nice warm glow.

    As much as I love the LED that warms my hands, I HATE dash lights that are not green. Plus, when towing my RV, I like to know Im not below the PSI threshold

    Take it back to Discount Tire and see if they can re-pair the TPMS to the receiver. If it still doesn't work, then I would say 2.5 gen tpms are incompatible with a 2.0 gen tpms receiver.

    FWIW, one of my sensors was stuck/corroded and snapped when swapping to 1794 20's. Being they are probably the OEM and 12 yrs old, I opted to run rubber valve stems and put a piece of electrical tape over the indicator light. Back to the dinosaur days of manually checking my tire pressure weekly.

    I would at least attempt to take to another shop for reprogramming before I paid for anything. What should be attempted (maybe what discount tire tried) is to read the ids (every sensor has a unique identification number) and write the ids to the trucks tpms module. (You can also clone original sensor ids to new aftermarket sensors - maybe not with used factory - but since yours are gone....) At any rate a good shop would do this free of charge or at very little cost (mine would) and if that doesn't work you'd be looking at an aftermarket sensor swap

    I had a similar issue, but disabled the indicator light. Tpms was good idea, but after awhile was unreliable and not cost effective to chase a recurring problem.

    There are days I'm tempted to do the wire bypass, but then I remind myself I want an easier "undo" on the off chance I buy new sensors in the future.

    Don't forget about the control module and the antenna.

    So there is no way for the 14's to get input into the 07 ECM, there is simply not enough space for the Id's?
