Yes, I switch out my tires twice a year (summer/winter setup). So I reprogram the ECU with Techstream using the following cable ordered from Amazon.

 

 

I programmed mine a month ago. I'm using 12.20.024.

 

You can program them using techstream but as far as I can tell, you will need the id from the sensors in order to do that. If you have those then it's not an issue. If you don't, then you can always pick up a tpms scanner that can read directly from the scanner.

 

The OEM TPMS sensors will have the ID code on the label on the sensor, so you can just copy the information from there before installation (take a photo for ease).
Not sure about the aftermarket ones, but you'd think they would have the code on a label somewhere.

 

As an alternative to this, when I switch back and forth between my winter and summer wheels, I bring the car to Firestone. They reprogram the TPMS for $20. I usually have them do an alignment as well. Not sure if you have Firestone where you are, but they are way cheaper than the Lexus dealership who quoted me 1 hour of labor to do this ~$150.

 

I'm using 12.00.127

 

While techstream can program new TPMS, some of these cables cannot. These cables are copies of copies,
The original is Mongoose from Drew technologies. Then there was a Chinese company that copied it called X-horse. That copy was a very good but then others copied the copy undercutting themt hem put them out or business. These copies of that copy is what you sell for sale so cheap now using the same hardware design and firmware but leaving stuff out to drop cost lower

Some of these varaint copies cannot program TPMS as you read some have been successful with doing. It's a bit of a gamble. I've gone and purchased 3 different cables from different sources and none of them was able to do TPMS programming so I had given up on it. Just a fair warning I'd anybody out there runs into issues.

 

Just go get an Autel TS501...reads and programs TPMS. I picked one up for my NX and it takes 2 minutes to reprogram and is WAY easier than techstream.

 

I actually have one too! Well, a ts508 but basically the same. Super easy on our cars. However, it does not seem to be able to do the secondary numbers for 2is. I actually use that more than the quickest, my snap on solus edge or techstream, simply because it reads and programs rather than just program

 

 

Ateq Quickset is easy and breeze to switch from stock to aftermarkets with different codes - push one button.

I have tech stream as well and noticed that I was unsuccessful with programing Tpms with it. Looks to be because of the cable as SpecOne pointed out. I actually purchased the same exact one from the link above three years ago.

 

Much easier option is to "clone" a set of sensors to the same IDs as the current ones. For example Autel makes such cloneable sensors (called MX-Sensors) for $25 each. A tool to program the sensors can be had for as low as $50 (MaxiTPMS PAD). The same tool can aslo read the IDs of the current sensors while they are still mounted in the tires (so you know which IDs to clone). No need to use TechStream. When you switch the tires the car computer does not even notice the difference.

 

It is possible. You need TPMS ids. you want to program. Then you type it in with Tech Stream TPMS utility. You have to type in all 4 ids. within certain time lime. I think it is 5 min. if I remember correctly.
If your are unsuccessful, repeat. If not good in typing use copy > paste . I no longer use Tech Stream I got a Autel TPMS trigger/scan tool. This thing makes the job cinch. Can do it in less than 20 mins.
