Default Switching between TPMS 1 and 2

Sorry, I couldn't find how to do this. I remember reading on here a while back of instructions so I was hoping someone would be so kind to share.

I recently got my TPMS sensors programmed for my summer set. A day worth of driving and now it appears there's a problem with the car and the sensors. I know I have 1 of the winter tires in my garage so I'm hoping somehow that's messing with it. As I have 37lb in each of my tires there should be no reason the sensors to be going off.

So I hope that's the problem if not I may have to take a drive to discount and tire and see which sensor is bad.

It's as simple as a small toggle switch on the underside of the glove box.

I have a similar case i think... I have an 08 gs350 and just slapped on some 06 is350 wheels (w/ tpms) for the summer and the tpms lights are on "check system". So all i would have to do is push that button under the glove box for the 2nd set of wheels or would i have to bring it to lexus/toyota for programming?

You must get the second set of tpms sensors programmed to the car. The process takes maybe 5-10 minutes with the right equipment. A *nice* dealer would probably not charge you. My local dealer wanted to charge a minimum of 30 minutes labor. I went to the local discounttire and they didn't charge me.
