lexus gx470 tire pressure sensor
#16
Another Costco-Michelin purchaser here
Brought my 2009 GX 470 to Costco and bought 4 Michelins they replaced. Drove it home and after about 20 minutes, the TPMS light went on.
When I start the SUV, it blinks for about a minute, then goes off.
I took it back to Costco this afternoon, and they checked the sensors. According to them, my left front sensor was bad, and my spare tire sensor was bad.
They recommended that I replace all 5 of them at the same time, since all of mine are still original. Does that make sense? They are $44 each at Costco. Should I take it to the dealer instead?

+1 for replacing all 5 at once. I wish I'd done that when I bought tires 2 years ago. Dealing with them one at a time has been super annoying.
$44 is the parts cost. Getting them done with tires is cheap because you're already paying to dismount the tire. If you wait, it's $44 plus an hour's labor (dismount, install, remount, rebalance) per wheel.

Appreciate the advise about just getting it done there, and getting all five done at once. Makes sense, the truck is eight years old already and these are the original sensors.

Each wheel (including the spare tire on GX truck has a tire pressure warning valve/sensor integrated into the air valve with a unique ID number that measures the tire
pressure and tire temperature and then transmits the information to the antenna/receiver mounted inside the vehicle through a radio wave signal. The unique ID number must be manually entered into the ECU using TIS Techstream tool whenever the tire pressure warning valve/sensor is replaced or after a tire and wheel are exchanged. So its better go to toyota service dealer and get this done.

I am new here.
I have the same issue. TPMS blinking light.
Based on the thread, looks like getting the sensors replaced at Costco is OK.
My question is would be Costco TPMS sensor last as long as the OEM sensor.

I also deleted my TPS light, all 4 where replaced just before I purchased the GX and a year later I had 2 go bad. My girlfriend’s 2015 GX460 had a bad sensor last year, she choose to drive it that way. I think Toyota has one of the worst systems
