2007 ls460l tpms
i was driving recently when the air pressure warning light came on. Not the first time and I was thinking at that point that maybe I had picked up a nail and had a tire losing air. When I moved to the tire pressure display to see which tire it was all I saw was a blank window. The TPMS is reporting no tire pressure figures on any of the 5 tires (4 on the car and the full size spare) at all. Assuming I didn't have 5 separate tire pressure valve stems go bad at the exact same time the issue has to be w/ the TPMS system itself. Curios for input on what I should be looking for. I've seen terms like TPMS control module or TPMS receiver. I suspect I may need to take this to the mechanic to diagnose this though. Anyone have any experience w/ this type of issue?

Our sensors were bad when we bought our 600hl. Bought new sensors from rockauto. Walmart put them on, $10 a tire. I programmed them using this. Bought "used- good" for ~$50. Also, a handheld tpms reader is handy to have at home and well worth the cost. Pick any well reviewed generic.
Sensors were 25 each if i recall. Dont forget spare.

Thanks so much for the input. I hadn't realized that if one sensor goes bad none of the other tire pressure sensors would show up either. Since all 5 sensors stopped showing a tire pressure at the same time I had convinced myself it was larger TPMS control module type failure. I purchased the tires from Discount Tire and as luck would have it its time for a regular tire rotation and balance anyway so I'll have them check/replace the sensors when I take it in.

I had similar issues with my 07 LS460 where TPMS sign comes on often and each time it costs $80. My spare tire sensor had some issue connecting after every few days. I took it to discount tire with 5 new sensors (set of 4 for $37 on Amazon)to replace. But they reprogrammed the spare tire sensor and informed that I don’t need to change them. So I stored the sensors for later use. 2 weeks later TPMS sign comes back on. When spare tire sensor was having problems it did show me the other 4 sensors for few days.after few days it said “take it to the dealer” 🤣 I went to the local tire shop (national chain shops won’t install self purchased sensor in my area) and got the spare tire sensor changed for $15 and programmed it home. Now it shows all 5 sensors. I hate to see that yellow caution light on just cuz of TPMS.
