I purchased the incorrect TPMS sensors for my 2008 LC. My understanding is these are for 2016+ LC's. They were in my wheels since June 2023 while I fought trying to figure out why they weren't working. I paid $343 for all 5 of them from Billings Lithia Toyota and have the receipt I can show...

I wanted to provide an update on this and maybe some ideas. It has been a long path of sorting this out and I'm still not there. I found a number of posts on the Tundra sites about two additional parts in the TPMS circuit. There is a Tire Pressure Monitoring System Control Module...

Update. Finally got it back from the dealer. Cause of the no start was a bad fuel pump. I pushed back a bit before letting them charge me $1300 to replace it since I know I was smelling fuel when I cranked the motor but in the end I gave them the green light and it fixed it. They said it was...

Good suggestion Zill. I checked all the connections and they are good. There is one other variable I am wondering about. As mentioned earlier, I have having TPMS issues including the TPMS light AND the warning code. Is there a chance the warning has disabled the car? At this point I am...

Does anyone know if there is a way to test the immobiliser system? I have gone through the reset process but since I am smelling gas from the exhaust, I am leaning toward spark issues. I am getting conflicting information about whether the immobiliser cuts the fuel or not and there is little...

Doesn't seem to be the battery. Full charge. 12.74V. Tried to start with no help; jumper cables to my truck; charger and jumper cables. No difference with any attempts. Can smell gas when trying to start, out of the exhaust. Guess I will be driving my truck on our trip instead of the new...

The first time I put it on the charger, I set it to the 30amp charge and was surprised when it was at 82% in 45 min. I didn't charge it beyond that at that point as that was plenty to get it to crank. Leads me to believe it wasn't fully decharged but rather the negative terminal was not...

Thanks for the replies. It will try a jump start tonight and see. If that doesnt work I will check exhaust for fuel smell. 2008 with 76,400 miles out of Los Angeles. One owner, old couple driven around town. Zero offroad.

I have run through in my head the past few days leading up to the no start and wanted to provide additional details in case they are related. On Saturday, I pulled the 200 away from the garage so I could paint a few items in the garage. We have noticed a bit of a musty smell and I decided to...

Good suggestion. I reset the immobilizer system according to my manual which matches what you posted. It has now gone back to a quick crank and no start rather than a long crank. Not sure if it's related but it did change.

I have been working on some TPMS issues and apparently left the ignition in the on position overnight which fully drained the battery. After charging to battery, it now won't start. Does anyone know if leaving the ignition on will fry anything? The first time I tried to start it, it did, but...

All good info. Thank you. I did not write down the tpms id's before the install. Had no idea it would be so difficult. I will start with Discount and see if they are getting a read on all 5 sensors and if so, get the id's and program them with Carista. Will update after I do this. Thanks...

Bought the Carista app and it still doesn't provide me any information beyond the ID# for each sensor. No psi reading and no ability to program the car. I have a question in to Carista to see why I can't.

I bought new sensors from the dealer when I bought the rims. Part number 42607-33012 which is a valid sensor for the 08 LC according to the dealer. The dealer tried to say that the sensors for only for alloy wheels and that the steel wheels don't work with these sensors as they create...
