Just trying to make sure someone else doesn’t get led into the pages of other threads where people thought they were getting the correct sensors to find out they didn’t. The wrong part number has already been listed in this thread.

Your right about the Denso part though. Pretty sure it’s still stamped Pacific and doesn’t say Denso anywhere on it. I would also like to know for sure which parts are working because I install a lot of sensors and my cost is higher than some that have been posted. Lots of fakes out there and part numbers for sensors that don’t give the actual air pressures only the tire light.

Yes the Denso Sensor does say Pacific on it, no Denso name on it.

Lexus says the batteries in the module can last 10 yrs and mine are still working but approaching the 10 yr mark. I would have the goodyear dealer replace them with aftermarket TPMS sensors, around $ 100-110/ wheel installed, This compared with Lexus charging $ 1000/ wheel for Oem sensors!! (no thank you), lol
I could also wait till the sensors fail and then replace them. What do you guys think.

Thanks

soooooo, if you want the cheap route, I have a 2008 so I’m sure parts are different, however I bought the cheapest ones I could on eBay and got 5 tpms sensors for $25. Then had Walmart Auto install them for $15 a piece, they also programmed them. It isn’t on the “menu” so they just rang it up as a tire change. So everything was $100 TOTAL or $20 per tire(sensor and install), and that was about 2 years ago and still no problems. I was willing to deal with issues for price. Zero issues since. Might want quality sensors but as far as install is concerned maybe this is an option. Also you can order any tire to the store and they will install it. For small jobs like oil and tires, I have no issue going to Walmart especially because if they screw anything up it’ll be covered by such a big chain. Not to mention they get lots of experience from so many vehicles.
