Regarding TPMS sensor

❔ Advice / Recs

I have '22 5th gen 4runner and my current TPMS sensors that came with car are installed on my winter tires with oem rims. I recently purchased TRD rims to mount my oem all weather tires on and I am planning to buy TPMS sensor and getting it installed at dealer. My question is regarding when I switch the 2 sets of tires for summer and winter usage. Will I have to re-calibrate the tpms sensors, etc? Or can I just install the alternate set of tires depending on season and expect everything to work.

Here’s advice from experience. 4Runner from ‘21 onwards has TPMS that doesn’t need to be programmed. They’re plug and play. Here’s the part number 42607-02050. New TPMS has rubber stem. You just install it in the wheel then go to the settings and select “change wheel set”. The dash board will say “registering each tpms”, and then you drive for 5-10 miles and the TPMS will be read. Every time you rotate the tire or change winter-summer set, you go through the process of “change wheel set” on the dash menu.

Edit: There is older tpms part number 42607-48010 that needs to be programed through odbc programmer, don’t buy that. Make sure the tpms is part number 42607-02050 with rubber stem.

Can confirm this works. No programming needed on ecu or through obd port. Just followed the steps you listed. It took my sensors about 40-45 mins of driving to get registered.

on some earlier models there is a tpms button for this purpose, but i dont think 5th gen runners have it. if not you will have to get each set of sensors relinked to the car everytime you switch

I have a '22, you can set up an additional set of TPMS through the dash menu.

Just took about 20 minutes of driving for them to start working.

Yep, just go through the setup and go for a drive.

I have a 21, and my owners manual gives a procedure for programming new sensors, without a tool, I haven't tried it. For some unknown reason I thought that it could be programmed for two sets of sensors. I bought a second set for mine and they were crazy expensive. On my subaru I was able to get clone sensors from napa, four of those were slightly more than one oem sensor on my 4runner. The clone sensors are programmed to mimic the oem sensors so that the car doesn't know the difference between one set of wheels or the other.

The procedure in the manual works. It took about 20 minutes of driving to get the new set to register. I went with the OEM sensors.

I'm doing this same thing, almost exactly. I was looking in the settings and there is an option to register tpms, as well as setting the target pressure values. I'm pretty sure when you switch out wheels, you just tell it to register sensors again.

The dealership should know. I was planning on talking to the guy at discount tire when I buy a set of aftermarket sensors from them.

I have a 23 ORP and don’t see such a setting anywhere?
