    So after I had my lift install the shop keeps having problems syncing the TPMS sensors with the truck. This is the second time now that the shop can not sync the TPMS sensors. The shop told me that Toyota's are really pain to sync in general. Any help is appreciated!

    Are you using your stock Toyota Tpms? If you are and the shop can't sync them, find another shop.

    No they are using aftermarket ones. I do not know the brand. I was thinking about putting the Toyota ones back on the truck....

    Rough Country Level,
    I purchased aftermarket ones when I got my wheels and they ended up just putting the factory in the wheels because they couldn't even find them on the machine to sync them:confused:. What is up with tire shops now days. I would pay twice what they ask for in balancing cost to get a reliable one in my area that can actually make a tire and wheel drive properly. I have to travel over an hour today to an off road shop to have my truck rebalanced again.

    Thanks for the info! Luckily for me I still have my stock wheels and tires, so I will call the shop and ask them to use the stock sensors! I hope this takes care of the problem!

    I used the OEM sensors in my aftermarket wheels...I purchased 4 new OEM TPMS from Toyota Parts that listed as correct for my 2020 Truck, I was keeping the original tires wheels as is so I didn't want to take out the stock TPMS. I put them in my new Fuel wheels and they would not work. Ended up having to put in the ones that came with my truck to get them to work. Toyota changes which TPMS it uses, so even though the parts guy saw that the part number for the TPMS said it will work with a 2020 it in fact did not.
    Safest to install the ones that came with the truck or at least look at the part number from them to get another set with the same part number.

    Do you remember the part # for the sensors you ordered that didn't work? I'm looking to put new sensors in a set of 18" wheels and don't want to end up in the same boat

    No I don’t remember what the part number was. But that part number came up for a 2020 as well so that was the confusion. My dealer tried to get the right part number from Toyota but we just gave up and took the stock ones out and put them in.

    I found another post from back in December ......

    Per the Toyota Parts Department at my local dealership, at the time of this writing (12/2019), it appears there is an error, or incomplete information, listed in the Toyota parts catalog when referencing the proper TPMS sensors for 2020 Tundra TRD Pro CrewMax with keyless entry and push-button start.

    After building a set of wheels (with winter tires) and new OEM Toyota TPMS sensors (Toyota part # 42607-0C091), the sensors would not register with the 2020 Tundra TRD Pro ECU as per the instructions described in the owners manual. As a result the TPMS light on the dash would not extinguish and the psi of each tire would not be displayed.

    Problem solved:
    Dealership installed new TPMS sensors (Toyota part # 42607-06030) and these sensors registered properly, with psi of each tire properly displayed in the instrument cluster.


    I'm going to give these a try because after Google searching this new part number I noticed they look identical to the tech info on TIS

    upload_2020-6-2_12-58-11.jpg

    and the number also shows up on TPMS.com as a listing for 2020 Tundra.

    Have you tried to re sync with the button inside the truck ?

    I know I’m going to try this method first when it comes time. It worked on my 19 Camry XSE and these are the same sensors, so we shall see

    So I dropped by discount tire and see if the y could sync the sensors. They did not have any luck, but did say that they have trouble with Tundras from 2018 and up. The salesmen told me to bring the OEM wheels back tmrw and they would install the factory sensors at no cost. :) Hopefully this works to eliminate the error code!

    Well long story short but putting back on the stock sensors from Toyota finally worked! I did have to take it to Toyota and they told me to put 50 miles on the truck and it should display in your truck. It displayed on the way home! Thanks for all the tips guys!

    Good deal, I had to do the same thing. Glad you got it fixed.

    Unfortunately that's a workaround but not a fix. You should be able to have a correct second set of TPMS sensors that you can register with the 2018-2020 Tundra. The correct sensor and method to register is still not solved here.

    I’m still waiting on my BeadBuster tool to arrive to test my theory, but I’m thinking that the 06030 sensor listed above is going to be our answer. It shows up as a part number for the 20 Sequoia and is listed on TPMS.com as a listing for the 20 Tundra as well

    I'm planning to get some black wheels for my 2020 1794 (20"). Will the TPMS sensors in my stock wheels fit pretty much any wheel? If not, how do I filter out the ones that they will not fit? I'd like to avoid this TPMS synching issue if possible.

    I can't say if they will fit the new wheels, but if they do, and you have them installed on the new wheels, try to make sure you ID which sensors were in which position on the vehicle. If you move a sensor to a new position on the vehicle, you will need to do the relearn procedure for the TPMS system to recognize them properly.

    So I swapped the new sensors yesterday and tried recalibrating with the small reset button. That process didn't work. Now I need to wait for my friend with techstream

    Did toyota had to resync your oem sensors or they just told you to drive it for 50 miles?

    Toyota told me to drive it 50 miles and that they could see all the air pressure on their computers. They told me if it does not display in 50 miles to bring the trackback to the dealership. When I was on the way home the error displayed on the instrument cluster went away. I check the pressure and they were displayed on the cluster.

    Do you remember the part numbers of the sensors that you removed from the steel wheels? I'm guessing that you don't have the push to start/smart key entry. I think the group with the issues with TPMS sensors are the ones with the push start. I noticed that even TireRack.com lists a different sensor for the 20 Push start models

    Interesting... no I’m regular old key start. Maybe I should try just the regular tpms on 2019’s alloys. No I don’t have the part number for the old ones

    My buddy and I went in half's on a Mongoose Toyota cable, should be here soon. We'll see if we can successfully program the sensors to my 2020 with techstream.The older mini vci cable was giving us ECU errors on my 20 Tundra and 19 Camry

    So with the correct Mongoose Toyota adapter And Techstream we were successful in programming the 06030 sensors into the 2020 Tundra with push start/smart key. After the new codes were registered the dash display showed the — lines for each wheel, took it for a spin around the block and after about 5 minutes the sensors were picked up and displaying the correct air pressures

    I have the same issue since I lifted my truck. You can fix it temporarily by resetting it from discount tire for free.
