Toyota TPMS Sensor ID
The Toyota TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor ID refers to the unique electronic serial number assigned to each TPMS sensor. These IDs are used to identify and track the position of each sensor in the vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system. It’s important to note that the TPMS system does not inherently sense the physical location of each sensor, as these positions may change during tire rotations.
If you need to retrieve the sensor IDs for a late model Toyota without removing the tires, there are tools available for this purpose. Dealerships typically have official tools for this, and aftermarket shops may have alternative options such as the Autel TS401 MaxiTPMS TPMS Activation Tool. Additionally, some TPMS tools can communicate through the OBDII port to find the ID number for a non-transmitting sensor, which can then be programmed into a replacement sensor.
It’s also worth noting that the sensor IDs should be recorded and saved in the customer’s records if a tire is dismounted or the sensor is disturbed. Some scan tools can read and store the IDs, or a camera can be used to capture the ID.
In summary, the Toyota TPMS sensor ID is a unique electronic serial number assigned to each TPMS sensor, and there are tools available to retrieve and manage these IDs without the need to physically remove the tires [[7]].

How do you program a new Toyota TPMS sensor?
At. Wait for the TPMS light to flash. On the dash. As you can see one two. And then three I’m gonna let off. And what that will do is that will reset. The tire pressure sensor.
Do you need a specific TPMS sensor?
In cars with factory-installed TPMS sensors, the sensors are always vehicle-specific. Automakers get these systems from specific suppliers, and the supplier can vary from model to model. If you use an incompatible TPMS sensor, it likely won’t work with your car’s system.
Where is the ID number on a TPMS sensor?
Printed on the side of the original TPMS sensor is an ID number. With some TPMS tools, the ID number can be read off the sensor and programmed into a replacement sensor. In some cases, it might be easier to generate a new sensor ID.
How do I know which TPMS sensor I have?
Using a washer rubber grommet and a hex nut. Number three is the banded sensor. It is fastened to the drop center of the wheel inside the mounted tire and wheel assembly.
Do Toyota OEM TPMS sensors need to be programmed?
Every replacement TPMS sensor must be “relearned” to the vehicle following the prescribed OE relearn procedure, regardless of whether it is an OE or aftermarket sensor.
How do I register my TPMS sensor?
Inflate the tires to normal operational. Pressure. And then try to trigger them with the tpms. Tool it should work most of the time if it still doesn’t try releasing the pressure continuously.
What is the TPMS symbol on a Toyota?
It alerts you whenever the tire pressure dips too low and when it should be examined. If you choose to stop and gauge your tire pressure or have your tires checked out at your dealership is completely your choice. If you notice the TPMS symbol pop up, be aware that your tires probably need to be examined.
What is the code TPMS?
Essentially, TPMS is a warning system that alerts you when your tire is 25 percent above or below the recommended pressure. Low tire pressure is one of the mechanical conditions it warns you about.
Do TPMS sensors have to match?
You can absolutely have a different set of TPMS in each sets of your wheels. You would just have to reset the TPMS when you’re swapping wheels for the car to recognize that there is a different set of wheels and TPMS on the car.
What type of TPMS does Toyota use?
Indirect TPMS systems communicate tire pressure through the ABS system. In February 2006, Toyota switched to a direct TPMS system, where the tire pressure is communicated using TPMS sensors.
