Last winter I bought a set of used rims, tires and TPMS and had them installed on my IS350, I brought the setup to the dealer and had the TPMS sensors programmed to my car. That winter, everything worked fine, with no error messages. During the summer, I installed my summer rims with no problems, but now that its winter again and I've installed my winter rims, my car apparently can't recognize the TPMS sensors.

I brought the car into the dealership and they said that they can't program the sensors to the car, that the second spot for the sensors just shows up as 0's on the computer and they can't reset it. Is there something wrong with my car? Or is it something I can easily fix?

Thanks for your input!

Sounds like maybe a bad sensor or the battery is dead in it....? See if they can't run a test to see if the sensors are still good. I think they run a wand or something and check real quick.

I've had two sets of TPMS programmed into my vehicle for a couple of years now. Have never lost the codes so it is strange that they don't sync up this year.

Lexus or Toyota should be able to reprogram the ID codes but they may have to remove the tire and look at the codes on each sensor. That is unless you have the ID codes written down somewhere.
