Are TPMS sensors wheel specific?

With some applications each TPMS sensor has its own unique factory code, and must be programmed for each wheel location using the asTech™ device. With other applications, a special learning procedure must be performed to educate the system the location of each sensor.

Can you have two sets of wheels with TPMS sensors?

If you’ve got an all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicle with full-time 4wd, you may prefer to swap on all 4 wheels from your other set of rims instead – assuming those 4 tires are evenly worn. When both sets of rims are equipped with TPMS sensors, you never have to go without.

Let’s say they’re all at 32. When you push the button, the truck learns that 32 is normal pressure and keeps the light off.

How many sensors does a Toyota truck have?

The toyota system has a tpms ecu that holds only 5 sensors codes. The codes on the sensors that came with your truck are now programmed in the spaces. You may have 1 extra spot because Toyota used to put a sensor in the spare. Some trucks have 5 others 4 sensors from the factory, but only 5 spots to load codes.
