TPMS issue
My display/temp/radio system went bad and I bought a salvaged one. Car Toys replaced the display and works fine. However, the TPMS light is on now and tires are fine with pressure. It won't reset as I did that from other posts here. I then read that the ecu for the TPMS is behind this console. So, maybe the tech messed something up when he replaced the display. I don't have much confidence they will know what they messed up however. Before reading that post I had called them out of curiosity to see what they did since it seemed odd. Their response was must be a bad sensor and not related. I believe it has to be if that ecu is behind that display. Any advice besides the obvious of take it back and let them dig around?

Is there a certain brand of TPMS sensors to shoot for when buying? I bought 4 Denso ones the other day and my guy said 1 of them was not reading at all. I paid $169 for 4. I ended up returning them. But I still see the TPMS light man. I know there's nothing wrong. It just needs to be relearned in the computer. Next time I take the car in for a tune up I want to completely solve that problem. So ima buy 4 more sensors but I might go with Toyota brand. I found one for cheap on eBay like $57 each. All together comes out to $230. I have another set of 18s for the GS430 that are in much better condition then the ones I have on the car momentarily. I might paint those glossy wet black and add new sensors to them. The old wheels I will have them refinished and I'll put them on my wife's RX330 later on. The TPMS sensor I have a picture for says GS300 BUT I'm sure these will fit a 430 JUST FINE. I put the picture of the item number and exact description of the sensor incase any one looking for one that's quality for cheap. Most in stores are $70 and up.
