Hello, I have 2022 IS350 AWD

So i am kinda noob if it comes to TPMS.
I have summer set of wheels (aftermarket wheels with Michelin PS4S) where I have OEM TPMS and it works just fine showing psi on the screen.

I am about to put winter tires on the OEM wheels that are collecting dust in my basement and I want to swap them from season to season - but what about TPMS for winter set? I don’t want to have to go to shop everytime to swap TPMS from summer set to winter and vice versa.

Can I just buy aftermarket (or OEM) sensors and tire shop will put them in there and they will work? Or is there special
procedure of pairing it with car etc?

Or can I just run winter without TPMS at all? (i always have a pressure gauge in the car anyway to check air psi in tires)
will it show any errors on dash?

Thanks in advance!

 

You have several options:
1. As you said, you can run without TPMS, and just live with the missing pressure numbers (and maybe a dash lamp?)
2. Get programmable sensors and have them programmed to use the identical IDs that are on your summer tires.
3. Get a tool, like the ATEQ Quickset, store the codes for the summer and winter set in it, and then upload the appropriate codes yourself via the OBD2 port.

Option 3 is what I’ve been using for several years. Works great.

 

Thank you for your answer!

1. I’m fine with missing pressure numbers but dash lamp
would be annoying, if anyone else could confirm that would be great!

2. do you know what i need to program them? I would have to go to dealership or is there software i can use myself?

3. Looked that up, and seems like it’s great option but it’s kinda pricey, about 240$ for the tool, I think I’d rather live without pressure numbers for the winter and spend that amount for something else.

 

#2 - You can do it yourself, but the tool costs more than the tool in #3. A dealership is unlikely to do it, as they would use OEM sensors which are not programmable. A tire shop that has the right tool and sensors can do it, you’ll need to call around.

 

Not sure where you price checked, but this is what I use:

 

I use a bidirectional scan tool to switch TPMS sensors. it won't reprogram a sensor but I can punch in the SN of the TPMS and it will load it to the car. I just have the numbers stored in my phone and use the scan tool to update it when I change wheels.

 

I was under the impression 2022 had the newer system that would learn the TPMS serial numbers automatically. Are you folks using those programmers on years pre-22? Not possible to enter TPNS serial through infotainment system?

From Google....
No manual programming required:Most modern Lexus vehicles, including the 2022 models, automatically relearn new TPMS sensors once the correct tire pressure is set and the car is driven for a certain distance at a suitable speed.

 

I need to do it for my 2014, which I have always thought was stupid, as my other car, 7 years older, relearns new sensors by itself.
