Question New Tires/TPMS, how to replace old TPMS setting?

Hey All,

So I got a new set of wheels/tires with new TPMS, and I'm now getting the flashing tire pressure dash light in my car.

I already have 2 saved TPMS settings (Main for summer tires, 2nd for winter tires), so I'm wondering how to replace the main TPMS setting in my car with the new TPMS I have? I already tried going to initiate sensor and holding the button down for 3-5 seconds without success.

Any ideas as to how I could do this (without going to the dealership and paying an arm and a leg hopefully).

Thanks!

I had to take it to a shop that connected a scanner and re-programmed all 4 sensors

Take it to Discount Tire/America's Tire (or the Canadian equivalent) - they'll do it for a nominal fee.

Yeah I brought the car to a local tire/wheel franchise (fountain tire) but they said their obd tool couldn't even read into my cars ECU at all (which I think could be caused by the rr racing ECU tune), so they are unable to reflash my car to sync with the newer tpms. They recommended I take it to lexus if I want to reflash, otherwise I need to get new tpms all around which would be about $400 Canadian in total... I think I will just deal with the tire pressure dash light for now.
