Getting my TPMS programmed
I went to the dealer yesterday and turned off the DRL and programmed 2nd set of TPMS. You will have to use their computer and connect to your OBD system. The TPMS registration will give you 5 mins to input all 4 sensor code into the database. I got a set of TPMS from a Toyota which made by Pacific and it works. On the computer screen, you can see the sensor ID, temperature, pressure off each sensor, including the spare tire, and you can also program a certain pressure point to set off the Low Tires Pressure warning. So you can just grab a set of TPMS off of a Toyota as well to save some $.

I think the battery is expected to last at least 5 years, maybe more. I think the battery is replaceable too and may use a common lithium battery. I have thought about battery life too and my thoughts are to just have all the batteries replaced some time in the 4th or 5th year of ownership when I have tires replaced.

They can but they may be hesitant because there will be no way for them to confirm they are functioning once they are registered into the ECU. Are not not planning on having Lexus mount them? If not, the dealer may also not warranty this because if there is an issue that is found only after these sensors get mounted to the wheels there is no way to know if the place that mounted the tire/sensors did not cause the damage.
To make things easier for you, I would recommend having Lexus or Toyota intially mount the sensors to the wheels and program them. When times comes to replace your tires in the future you can take them anywhere you choose since they are already registered and installed (and known to work).

Cleric: Once you have those number programmed into the ECU, you can right away see the data from each sensor, such as temp, pressure, so you they are functioning.

They are used from a Toytoa Tacoma or Tundra, don't remember exactly anymore, but on the sensor itself, it doesn't have any Toyota/Lexus parts number, as the same to the one you have mounted in your wheels right now. You will only see the parts number from the manufacture "Pacific".

Just had my new tpms programed at the local Toyota Dealer for 95$. They said this was a standard charge for acessing the ecu. The process was very quick. They were able to get the serial numbers from the sensors without having to dismount the tires. The new sensors are now set as the 2nd set of tires in the ecu.

then I called 3 local toyota dealerships and they refused to work on Lexus's . the service agent who answered the phone said they only work on Toyotas. I thought this was bs.
Here I am with a second set of sensors and my wheels in my room trying to find a place to program.
Anyone in the Bay Area recommend a place to get them programmed? that would help alot. could use some local chimes
thanks
