TPMS and winter wheels
Apologies if this is a redundant question but I used the search feature in the ES sub-forum and couldn't find a definitive answer from what I can see.
I just purchased a new (to me) 2016 ES350 and wanted to know if its possible to have two sets of wheels and swap them out when winter arrives without the TPMS warning going crazy? Will the 2016 ES recognize two sets of TPMS sensors (one set for summer and one set for winter)? I read that it wont and the best method is to clone the ID's from the summer wheels to the new winter wheels, that way it has the same ID and wont get confused or reach its limit of IDs. Is this correct? If so what are my options of doing so? I do not want to have to go to the dealership every time so they can program the wheels per season. If there is a cheaper and/or easier method I am all ears.

The TPMS for the ES can only register one set of sensors. Beyond saying that, I don't have any advice. Someone else should be able to give suggestions for the most practical way to set things up for two sets of wheels/tires.

I too would like to know this as I was planning on doing the same in a year or so

HTony, would you mind providing the name/model of the TPMS tool? Sounds like a similar process to my Chevy SUV minus plugging into the OBD port but a close enough procedure.

Hi, It is Autel Maxi TPMS TS-501 in a hard case with accessories. I got one on sale. Believe newer model is out now. Very handy for TPMS related work.
