Tundra Wheel TPMS sensor question (1 Viewer)

[J54]

So I scored a set of 2019 Tundra off road rims and tires minus the TPMS sensors. I have new sensors (OEM) for the stock LC wheels which are getting snow tires mounted in a few weeks. The issue is the sensors for the LC (2010) part number 42607-33012 don’t look correct for the tundra wheels, if anyone is running the tundra wheels in the attached photo what TPMS sensor did you need? a OEM Tundra part or is there another work around?

What about them doesn't "look" correct?

To my knowledge toyota used only two formats of physical sensor mounting, and the difference was the angle of the flange. All aluminum wheels were one angle, all steel the other. Said another way all toyota aluminum wheels should have sensors that actually bolt right up to all other aluminum toyota wheels.

Now beyond that there are a bunch of different firmwares and frequencies.. which is why Tundra sensors may not work with your LC.

from what I understand the Tundra TPMS won't work with our rigs. You have to get the LandCruiser specific TPMS... It should bolt right on, but I myself have not done that...

^^^ what they said. I also run tundra wheels for my winter set up. They came with TPMS sensors that would not link up to my LX. I got the Correct ones. However if I had known what I know now I would have done a set of “cloned” sensors to match the ID of my summer set so I didn’t have to re set the TPMS 2x a year.

I had my aftermarket wheels mounted with new tires at Discount Tire. To my knowledge, they used an aftermarket sensor. They told me to drive it for about ten miles and the pressures should be displayed.

I had a 180 trip I had to make for work, so I said fine my drive is longer than whats needed. I was becoming a little concerned when the pressures did not come up on my display at 10-15 miles. Then, magically at about 90-100 miles they all pop'ed up and have been on ever since.

I believe the problem is the mounting-angle of the sensors. Different wheel types (ex. aluminum vs steel) require sensors to be mounted at different angles, and not all sensors can be adjusted to the desired angle.

I installed these Autel sensors in the same 18" Tundra wheels as in the OP.

I used the Autel Intelligent Technology Co TS408 Handheld TPMS Service Tool to clone my OEM LX sensors and program those IDs into the above sensors. Very simple to do, takes 30 seconds per wheel.

Thanks for the input. The issue was the sensors were sitting higher (away from wheel towards tire) and catching the bead a lot more then I liked. I guess I just have to be gentle and see how it goes. I appreciate everyone’s feedback !

This is not true for all Tundras 2007 and up. Two different steel wheels did have the same 20 degree angle as aluminum do but those steel wheels are no longer available on new models.

Wheels I am talking about are the 42601-0C030 and the export only 42601-0C050
