TPMS sensors - OEM or OES? (1 Viewer)

[bloc]

I still can't figure out why it doesn't appear that the sensors are sending out any signal at all.

If the tire shop is using a receiver tool they are usually configured to have the year/make/model of the sensor selected first. That way the tool knows what type of signal to look for. If it is expecting the signal for a 17 vehicle it might not “see” the signal for your 0103 transmitters.

I ordered the Denso 0103 for my 09 LX will this work with Rock Warriors? I didn't think about angles

I really recommend Huf sensors now. No funny business with tools, get triggered without presurrizing them first and no worries about degrees either - they are adjustable.

I'm pretty sure they will work with any aluminum toyota wheel.

Thank you! That makes complete sense. I'm sure you're right. I'm going to stop by my shop and see if they can read them as if I have a 2015 LC. Looks like I'll be buying a new set of sensors, but it would be good to know that the first set I bought are functioning.

My tire shop had issues too, and they had the year/model correct. At first I assumed it was too quick or not the correct conditions to wake the transmitters, but three days and maybe 100 miles later they still couldn’t detect a signal. I then brought it to toyota and the tech there simply programmed my truck to receive the TPMS codes I provided from those sensors and everything worked. He said they never do anything to the sensors themselves.. mount/balance, then pressure to seat beads, relieve pressure, then go to cold inflation pressure. Program vehicle, done.

I still don’t know why the tire shop couldn’t detect a signal the second time, but it’s all working now and I’ll use Carista to program the vehicle for my spare when I get a tire put on that rock warrior.

Denso 550-0103 is not compatible with 2016-2019 LC. You need 42607-48010, PMV-C015 or DENSO 550-0106 which is 20 degrees that works with RW.

Sorry to dig up an old thread. I have a 2019 LC and I recently purchased a set of Rock Warriors for it. I am curious to know - are the TPMS sensors in my 2019 OEM 18's wheels correct for the angle needed for the RW wheels? My preference would be to break down my OEM wheels/tires to get the OEM sensors out and install them in my new RW's. I just wasn't sure if they are 20 degree angle like required in the RW?

Thanks in advance for the input.

As I understand it, all aluminum wheels use the same sensor angles, so yours should be fine.

Has anyone tried mobiletron tpms? Ordered them off Amazon for RWs. My second question was can I have 2 sets of sensors linked, can I run the RWs then switch back to my factory wheels and have no issues?

Only if one set is cloned to the other, and you’ll need to keep the set not on the vehicle a decent distance away from it to avoid cross communication issues.

Basically you can’t register the car for two different sets at once. You can get a Carista module or other programmer to switch the coding in your vehicle when you swap wheels though.

I'm going to have to look into the carista this as well as ask Costco if they can clone the sensors I have...
Have you used the carista programmer? Easy to configure?

I did a little reading on mobiletron. They are designed to be cloned to your existing sensors, so Carista would be pointless for you. I’m not sure whether Costco has a tool that can program the mobiletron sensors to your OEM ones, that would be a question for them.

I saw one of the comments on amazon before ordering saying that costco was able to sync it to their toyota

I ordered 5 of the 42607-33012 to fit the RWs but they didn't come with the washer or nut for installation. Does anyone have part numbers for them?

I'm going to take a flyer on REDI branded from my local Discount Tire - have done a ton of business with them over the years. $60/wheel installed out the door price (no extra labor for programming), 6 year unlimited mileage guarantee. I'm not crazy about that aftermarket brand - but at that price and with the warranty/guarantee willing to take the risk, IF they work fine. We'll see . . . going at noon today wish me luck.

FYI, I had 1 of 5 dead TPMS - presumably OE from 3/2008 order date (I don't know if that's DoM so they could be even older) - not bad.

I ended up just doing the one REDI brand from them due to the spare tire appears original (>10 years old) and I'm planning on new wheels and AT tires anyway, no need wasting the money now. Programmed no problem, even with the mismatched manufacturer. I'm definitely planning on at least Denso (Pacific Industries) for the new set, might even splurge on 5 OEM but we'll cross that bridge when the time comes.

My 5 pacific industries are cruising along no problems, past the initial programming difficulties. Which seem to be Discount Tire incompetence anyway.

The tire shops generally know who to add the new sensors to the vehicle program ... but they usually have no idea you need to also press the re-set tire button that is under the dash a little further back after the hood release.

I am about to buy a set of Denso 550-0103 from Rock Auto or Amazon for my 2013. Probably Rock Auto as I am always bit concerned about counterfeit products on Amazon. Have a couple questions before I pull the trigger.

Anyway, I believe at this point I want the updated version PVM-C11A and not the older PVM-C107J?

I will be having these programmed at Discount Tire. Has anyone had the new version successfully programmed at DT? Just curious if they have the updated tool as I do not want to pay extra to have the dealer program them.

I know that Pacific Industrial makes these for Denso. Is that bad? Is Pacific a quality manufacturer?

This part works in the 2013 and 2016+ factory wheels as well as RWs?

Discount was helpless programming my Denso/PI transmitters, though this could be the individual tech and the fact that a customer bringing OEM sensors that seem to have different procedures is so rare. They likely sell hundreds or thousands of their Chinese clones by comparison. I suspect I could have even gone without the visit to toyota If I had just waited longer. Per his description the tech didn’t do anything I couldn’t with Carista, I just think they finally woke up in time for him to program them.

Mine came from Amazon and have worked perfectly for 50k miles. These seem pretty low-volume to go through the effort of counterfeiting, but that is speculation on my part.

Pacific must be a decent manufacturer because that is who makes them for toyota.

They should work on all years of aluminum toyota wheels, but will only work with a narrower range of TPMS modules in landcruisers.

I can’t speak to the version numbers.
