Well, here are the details.
I read up on anything I do. I belong to several Toyota Tundra forums also.
I purchased a complete set of 20 inch wheels and tires with the TMPS included. I have 18 inch on her now. (2008) I called the Service Department and was told that all I had to do was to install the wheels/tires. When the dash light comes on just reset the system. (button under dash) 90% sure that will work he said.
I call Bogus!
Now, not believing this, from what I have read is that the sensor number needs to be logged into the computer system on the truck using a handheld device. How would the computer know if the tire was low? All sensors are specific are they not? (different numbers)
Now maybe I could get lucky.
I might be able to start the truck, deflate the new tires and see if the dash light goes on. If it does then inflate the tire, try to reset and go from there.
I, like you, do not care for this TMPS stuff. There is no way to deactivate the system. (there is a purple/silver wire behind glove box that will)
