TPMS programmers

I have a 2010 Tundra and picked up a set of factory tires and Rims that look to have come off a 2014+ model year. The tire pressure light is of course flashing and some of the Tire stores have told me that it is likely that I won’t be able to get my truck to recognize the sensors. I was thinking about picking up one of the cheap programmers on Amazon ($30) so just wondering if anyone else has had any luck with these programmers?

 

I bought an Autel Maxi TPMS pad that I use to read and write TPMS senders. It worked on my 2011 Element and 2017 Fiat 124. I bought it and all four senders for less than 200 bucks when the batteries died on the Honda. Dealer wanted $500 to replace one.

 

Thanks for your response. I am going to try the techstream software to see if I can reprogram the sensors. I am not sure it will work for sensors (read some posts that said it was possible). I had the software so just ordered the cable. If that doesn’t work then I’ll get them replaced when I get new tires and live with the light.

 

From my limited understanding of the subject is there are two ways to make it work. Clone new sensors using the information from the four the vehicle is looking for or tell the vehicle to look for four different sensors. There may be a third way but I'm unfamiliar with it. Have the vehicle look to see what sensors are in the area and start to read them.

 

The third way is to break the bead and swap your old sensors over…
