TPMS replace

[LXCruza]

Your tire in location 5 has a bad ID. Thats why you are still seeing an error. All "F"s is unlikely to be valid. The two codes you are getting is because of this.

On my 100 series it would go for 1 hour or 60 miles without setting an error if all IDs were valid even if one was not reading. After 60 miles I would get a TPMS ID Error.

On my 200 series it will set an error almost immediately if it cant read all IDs.

Shouldn't it complain about ID5 then? There is only one error code on Techstream:
C2126 - Transmitter ID Not Received (Main)

Sorry for stealing your thread OP, but wanted to provide an update: @ArnieC was absolutely right, programming the ID5 (spare tire) fixed my issue.

The TPMS system isnt smart enough to give you which tire is malfunctioning without Techstream. The dead giveaway was the -40 tire temp, thats what the system defaults to when it doesnt get a signal.

Totally can write the new TPMS info with Techstream - just need a different cable.

2015 Land Cruiser TPMS ID and Part Number Tech Info

The info below applies to a 2015 Land Cruiser, US Model, Last 5 of the VIN 29214, Sept 2014 Manufacture. Your mileage may vary. If you get an error when using Techstream to write new TPMS sensor IDs "ID registration failed due to a communication error with the ECU while in initialization...

Holy crap, I feel like I need to repost this in every thread I've been reading about this. This cable worked, I was finally able to program the codes from my new (now two-year-old) TPMS sensors! TPMS light didn't go off because I was too cheap to get a 5th one for the spare... but now I know I can fix it! thanks!

I understand there may be a VIN split somewhere around 2014-16. Is there a way to get the TPMS sensors from some 2019 takeoff wheels to work on my 2013?

How do people manage the sensors on multiple sets of wheels (street set and off road set)? Once registered, does the truck automatically recognize either?

I have a set of mounted snow tires that for some reason the sensors don’t work. The summer spare still mounted may be confusing things. Since I have more to worry about in life I said @&$# it, Spring is just around the corner.

Regarding the split, you can either dismount a tire and see what PN is on the 2019 sensors and then look that sensor up to see if its listed as a cross - which may work - OR you can program a sensor ID from an aired up 2019 wheel to your 2013 and see if it reads it. If I was a betting man 2019 sensors wont work on a 2013 but I was wrong one other time.

To manage the sensors people either will clone sensors so two sets of wheels have identical IDs and you can swap them back and forth willy nilly OR you have to program the car every time you change sensors. Unlike a 100, a 200 does not have provisions for a second set of TPMS IDs.

Thanks for the info. I actually found this thread after I posted that but forgot to circle back:

Year differences in TPMS transmitters.

Two weeks ago I bought a set of four 2016 wheels with snow tires and TPMS transmitters to use on my 2013 LC. Immediately after swapping the tires/wheels LC TPMS threw an error code and lit the dash warning light. Obviously it was because the computer didn’t know the id’s of the new wheel...

TPMS PN for up to 2015: 42607-33012
TPMS PN for 2016-2019: 42607-48010
(cut off was somewhere in 2015 or 2016).
Apparently 2020 uses a different PN than the above.

Good to know you can clone sensors, I'll try that first. I assume this is done manually with techstream or similar.

Sorry for late reply. No, cloning is not done with techstream. It is simply taking a special sensor/transmitter built for cloning and programming it to copy and send the same signal as the original transmitter. To the vehicle the original signal is still being seen, so it doesn’t know anything changed.

This can work well as long as you keep your original tires far enough from the vehicle that it doesn’t see both signals at once.

The other potential problem is most clonable sensors are cheap Chinese parts nowhere near the quality of original toyota or pacific industries (the denso/toyota supplier). They will have more problems and the batteries won’t last as long.

This is why I opted to buy new PI transmitters and the tools needed to program the car for new IDs whenever it is needed.
