Default Tpms??????

So as it turns out I had a faulty TPMS sensor and it kept leaking air. I got a used one from the same car as mine (2008 IS250), replaced it and drove off. I drove for around 30-40 miles and it was all good, as soon as I got home the red triangle and low pressure light came on and started blinking. I remember reading that you can reset it manually somehow but I can't seem to find the thread again. Can someone point me in the right direction or tell me how to do it. I would really appreciate it otherwise i'll take it to a tire shop.

TPMS sensors need to be programmed to your car. Each one gives off a different frequency

Resetting the light is one thing, getting it program is another. You will need to take it to a shop or back to the dealer
