Default Problem with TPMS

I recently put my stock 18's with TPMS. After 200 miles the car is still refusing to communicate with the TPMS, I still got the low pressure light and all 4 sides show no data. I tried resetting sensors by holding the TPMS button, but nothing is happening. Not sure what happened ?

The sensors are not connected to the tire. Who put the TPMS for you ?

These are my original rims and tires. I took them off and put my summer set on without the TPMS. Now winter came and I took my summer wheels off and put the original wheels back, but the car is no longer reading the TPMS.

Need to wake them up...
Release about 10 - 15 lbs of air rapidly and them re inflate them to correct pressue with the car ON... (one by one)

Its a trick I learned to read sensors ID with a Lexus scan tool..

Hope that works..

Increase the air pressure to about 50 psi and drive for ten minutes and see if that makes them start working. In not, the original TPMS sensor IDs may have become unregistered since the wheels were not on the car for so long.

I'm guessing your wheel's TPMS transmitter ID codes must be re-registered in the car's onboard computer and then the tire pressure warning system must be initialized. Your Lexus dealer can certainly do this, but any decent tire store should be able to read your TPMS IDs and do it with their tool, which they probably use dozens of times each day.

Happened to me, try to go to Townfair tire and have them reset the codes to car as they have been kicked out, if they don't get it you will have to go to dealer which I had to do. That reset button does nothing I tried that as well and nothing occurred.
