Default TPMS sensors
Hey Guys, I’m going to buy a TPMS service tool. I have a 2008 IS350, just would like to know what frequency the TPMS sensors are. Are they 315 or 433MHz, and what’s usually installed on a Lexus/Toyota car?Thanks

The OEM ones are 315 MHz, which I believe is normal for Toyota/Lexus.

Yes, thank you! I'm doing some digging now and looks to be 315MHz. Wonder who uses the 433MHz?

I'm thinking of purchasing this kit. Looks to be the best bang for the buck..........

433 MHz is unusual with no clear benefit, so it must be a German automaker using them. lol

Nice. Looks very similar to the one used by the guy who replaced my front sensors a few weeks ago.

Cant you use one of those Ebay TechStreams that come with a cable and a CD? They're like $50 on ebay.

I already have an Autel OBDII reader, just would like to keep the service equipment the same make. I also think its a great deal with an extra 8 sensors for an extra 100 bucks then just getting the tool alone. I have a feeling I have two sensor with a bead battery, will see........

don’t do it. OEM sensors are $135 a set on eBay brand new. Search Denso TPMS for IS250. A Techstream cable will be way more useful since it can diagnose and make changes to all Toyota cars. Including personal settings , TPMS, and key FOBs. You can test all your systems even make the AFS headlights swivel and level test.

Too late i already pulled the trigger. This TPMS tool does that also. My OBDII scanner also does live tests, its really cool. I'm happy with the purchase. You get 8 TPMS sensors with the kit, I think that right there is a great deal. Hopefully its holds up, but so far so good!

The only legal place to get Techstream software is from TIS, https://techinfo.toyota.com, with a professional diagnostic subscription, or with a subscription included with the purchase of a Techstream computer or Techstream Lite kit.
