TPMS sensors

Hey Guys, I’m going to buy a TPMS service tool. I have a 2008 IS350, just would like to know what frequency the TPMS sensors are. Are they 315 or 433MHz, and what’s usually installed on a Lexus/Toyota car?Thanks

The OEM ones are 315 MHz, which I believe is normal for Toyota/Lexus.

Yes, thank you! I'm doing some digging now and looks to be 315MHz. Wonder who uses the 433MHz?

433 MHz is unusual with no clear benefit, so it must be a German automaker using them.

lol

Nice. Looks very similar to the one used by the guy who replaced my front sensors a few weeks ago.

I already have an Autel OBDII reader, just would like to keep the service equipment the same make. I also think its a great deal with an extra 8 sensors for an extra 100 bucks then just getting the tool alone. I have a feeling I have two sensor with a bead battery, will see........

Including personal settings , TPMS, and key FOBs. You can test all your systems even make the AFS headlights swivel and level test.

The only legal place to get Techstream software is from TIS, https://techinfo.toyota.com, with a professional diagnostic subscription, or with a subscription included with the purchase of a Techstream computer or Techstream Lite kit.
