So I bought new F sport wheels, new tires (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S) and a new set of TPMS sensors. Got tires installed and balanced, but after driving like 50 miles still shows dashes on the readout. I presume this means that I have to get the sensors calibrated/cloned/mated to the car?

I guess the other idea is, potentially, I could get one of those tools somehow and clone my existing TPMS sensors on the old tires and wheels? (I still have them. )

I don't care too much right now because the car isnt throwing a triangle of death at me and everything is good otherwise, but still.

Have you tried the button under the dash (under the steering wheel)? If the new TPMS sensors need to be cloned/activated the tire shop should be able to do it. If not, your Lexus dealership can.

I'll have to try that... is there any special voodoo procedure for it? Or just start the car up and press it whenever?

I've never had to use it personally. Any quality tire shop should be able to sync the sensors.

Did you get OE TPMS? Just go to your local Tire store, they should have tool to reset TPMS. My local America's Tire did mine for free, though I did purchased tires from them.

They were supposed to be OE TPMS equivalent or something (Pacific branded, correct 20 degree angle) but I am highly suspect of the sensors I got, because they didn't even come with the top hardware to secure the damned sensor into the tire. I am hoping that they're not like "fake" or something.

I got mine from RockAuto they were OEM Denso 5500105 TPMS about $42/pcs https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...310302&jsn=464
You can also opt for 3rd party programmable one that are about the same price.

I never buy anything from Ebay, too many fakes. And who knows how long they're been sitting on the shelf. Batteries on these TPMS don't last forever.

PMV-C010 is the correct model number


You need to program the new sensor IDs into the ECU. Take it to a tire shop to have it programmed.

When I installed a set of the 19" F Sport full face rims, I purchased a set of Pacific OE sensors and recorded each sensor ID.

Then I used the Ateq Quickest TPMS tool to pull the sensor IDs off original set of rims and programmed in the sensor IDs of the new 19" rims.

Now I can switch between the 2 sets of rims for winter and summer.

Yeah, the reset button did nothing, going to try to go to a tire shop eventually and get the sensors synced. If they can't do it then I'll chalk it up as a lesson learned and order myself 4 new OEM tpms sensors (from a legit source) and have them installed.

At least they're holding air in the tires so there's that....

Update: I talked to my tire guy via email and they already registered the sensors with the car and it accepted them, but I am getting this sinking feeling that the sensors are just fake trash or something, even though they looked pretty damned good. I'm going to have them see if they can try re registering them later this week. I am kinda pissed at myself because I'm not sure what the **** I was thijnking when I bought those, usually I go by the "if the price is too good to be true it probably is, lacking a reasonable explanation" and I must have been drunk or something over the winter when I bought those.....

What year and model is your GS?
I did research on the Ateq Quickest TPMS tool, however GS 350 is not covered, This is a good news if your's 2013 GS 350, looks like my hope it back on track again
Please let me know, thanks!!!

I have 2015 Base GS350 and can confirm it works very well

Just checked the ATEQ website... states the Quickset is compatible with Lexus GS series 2005 - 2019

The most important thing is to buy a set of OEM Pacific TPMS sensors, model PMV-C010 (and record the IDs of each sensor). I purchased a used set off eBay for around $80.

You will need a PC to set up the Quickset unit (make sure to install the software driver first, that's where a lot of ppl go wrong)

The instructions are pretty straightforward. The Quickset unit will pull the sensor IDs off your current set of wheels. You need to input the new sensor IDs via the software.

Once the Quickset unit is programmed, you can switch between two sets of rims with ease.
