My quest for sensors has not gone well. Costco (who will install my winterd tires) has no stock and don't expect any for 6 - 10 weeks. I did find 3rd party sensors listed for the NX 350h in stock at Kal-Tire but they tell me they can't program them (Gorilla brand). Having Lexus OEM sensors shipped to me from my dealership will cost about $440 which IMO is freaking crazy. Toyota dealership is unable to cross reference their sensors for a Lexus so can't promise me they will work and no returns if they don't. Getting those sensors from Amazon.com that dinamoedm kindly posted is likely going to take 1 to 2 months, longer than I want to wait to get the winter tires installed.

Does anyone know of a 3rd party sensor commonly available in tire shops than can be successfully programmed (brand name)? Is the inability to program 3rd party sensors that are listed as suitable for the 2022 Lexus NX 350 the result of limited competence or lack of proper programming tools?

 

Check other Lexus dealerships. My local dealership sold me a set for $59 each. Not cheap but, comparable to quality aftermarket sensors. Some forum members were reporting prices for tpms in around $80 to $90 each.

Also, I checked some other accessories and found that my local dealership is more expensive than others here in Ottawa for the same accessories.

Another thing I remember watching YouTube video by Car Care Nut about aftermarket tpms. Where he makes case not to buy aftermarket tpms. Just do a search on YouTube for Car Care Nut tpms.

 

Look like the OEM TPMS is this one : 42607-53040 ( 4260753040 ). But these are listed as compatible / replacement:
42607-12020, 42607-60010, 42607-12020, 42607-48020, 42607-F4020, 42607-53040, 42607-53040, 42607-12020, 4114, PMV-C215, 42607-07010, PMV-E100, ECR0220, RDE049V21, 9014-4114, 9015-4114, 1210-4114, 2210-4114, 2200-4114, 1400-4114, 1401-4114, 4040-4114, 4041-4114, 590914-4114, 590918-4114, 4114PFR, 4114PFM, 4114PVM, 4040-RDE049, 4041-RDE049, RDE049PVM, RDE049PFR, RDE049PVM, RDE049PFR, 4260748020, 4260702070, 42607F4020.

Why this Lexus TPMS model is too hard to find the exact one? On my Acura and Honda, they are so easy to get the right one and it's Auto-Learning make them changing tires a breeze ...

 

Pretty sure there is no need to crossrefence. The part number for the Lexus sensor is the same number Toyota uses

 

sorry...no clue... it was from the local tireshop back in 2019. i think any decent tire shop will know what tpms sensors will work and if it doesn't, they'll swap it out..but it's just a lexus (toyota), and they see so many lexus/toyota's that i would think they know which sensors will work.

sorry that i'm not of much help

 

Hey, I’m new here and just bought our new 2022 NX350H. Like most other members I had no success with last year wheels because it doesn’t fit the new lug bolts design so I had no choice but to search for a new set of wheels and winter tires. Can you share the name of your aftermarket TPMS? Do you think I can get the tire guy to program it in the 2nd tire setting of my NX? Planning to get aftermarket wheels and tires with TPMS so I don’t want any issue with the light going off after the installed. Thanks in advance.

 

Need OEMs for the 2022nx and the ones ending in the part number 90

 

Question for the group, if I choose to run my snow tires / wheels without TPMS sensors, how annoying are the alerts? I already have a set of snows mounted on non-TPMS wheels from a RAV4.

For example, I think I can ignore a small amber light on the dash. However, I do not want to deal with a full screen alert that pops up occasionally....

Appreciate any feedback!

Thanks.

 

I’ve been running winters for the last two months with TPMS installed but not functional. It’s really not that annoying- just the yellow tire light on the bottom left corner of the dash. You’ll also get an alert on the app.

 

Completely agree. I'm in the same boat and I've come to even "not see" the amber warning light when the brake hold is activated.😜 As long as your not digging into the settings and viewing tire pressure, you're all good.

 

I. don’t understand why Lexus made this more difficult. In the prior generation it was very easy to swap out tire sets.

 

You can just cover it up with electrical tape. That's what I did until I resolved the issue.

 

I think the new process is easier. I had a Gen 4 RX and the car would only store 1 set of TPMS codes. These new ones store 2. All you need do is A- get proper sensors that the car can read and B have the dealership program them 1X and you are good to go. It's described somewhere in the owners manual. That's what I'm doing, the winters are at the dealership now, all I need is the car!

For Gen 2 RX there was a button under the glove box which allowed you to switch. On Gen 3 and 4 RX and I guess Gen 1 NX you had to reprogram trough the ODB port. I had purchased an Ateq TPMS tool that did the job. It's for sale now as I won't need it for this generation of NX/RX.

 

That wasn't my experience with the prior generation NX. Each time I made the switch the techs at Americas Tire used a scan tool pointed at each TPMS to reset. An easy process that didn't require digging into the settings screen and driving until reset. Having non OEM sensors wasn't as big an issue.

 

my NX has been no different than previous lexus. I'm using the aftermarket winters and aftermarket tpms from a 2019 RX on my new NX..didn't even have to reprogram the tpms, just registered it as set 2 in infotainment, drove around and that's it.

maybe it's the shops people are going to who have no experience with toyota/lexus?
