I just did this last week.... Installed aftermarket rims and snow tires, along with OEM TPM sensors and definitely had to have them "introduced" to the car to eliminate the yellow symbol.

Fortunately I had read about this on here, and had the dealer agree to do a NC introduction when I bought the car along with the extra set of TPMs.

The TMS was done last week.

no problem at all, we just misunderstood each other. i think it's always easier to just move the tpms from your factory wheels to the aftermarket wheels. put the aftermarket wheels on and you are good to go. worked on our ls460l and gs350 perfectly.

This is a really good point.

Thank you.

They are not location specific. How can they be? Seriously people but use your full knowledge. If you were to rotate the tires and the TPMS are programmed into the car system, that wheel that is moved goes with the TPMS and the car will recognize it at the new position. Its not complicated.

It would make sense if the TPMS signal is picked up at a central location like in my last car (Infiniti G) which showed a warning light only when one tire is significanlty below the average of the four pressure readings. However when looking at it's OBD error codes (for example when checking for the location of a faulty TPMS sensor), the error code will say WHICH corner is presenting with low pressure making it easier to pinpoint.

Everything would be great if the GS has a signal pickup at each corner of the car, then diagnostics wouldn't be a problem.

The point is I don't know how the system in the GS works (yet) and if the people rotating tires can re-assign sensor locations (or if they even care to). But I'd agree that 9 times out of 10, the sensor location will be a non-issue ... so if moving them from stock wheels to aftermarket wheels; why not just have them back where they came from?
