TPMS sensor installation procedure, help needed

For anyone who has installed Toyota TPMS sensors themselves, I need help to make sure I'm doing this correctly.

I bought a set of stock SR5 Toyota wheels, takeoffs, to mount a set of LT tires on. The wheels were older, and the sensors were bad. So I bought a set of p/n 42607-48101 sensors, and a set of 04423-33060 installation kits from an on-line Toyota dealer, thinking that any tire shop could install them for me and program them. NOT! The two tire shops in my area refuse to install Toyota sensors - they have their own aftermarket sensors they want to use. One of the shops claimed they could not program the OEM Toyota sensors to my 2022 4Runner.

It is 170 miles to the nearest Toyota dealer from where I live so I'd rather not make that drive. My idea is that I should be able to install the sensors myself. I have a torque wrench and I know the sensors need to be torqued to ~ 35 inch-pounds. But I'm unsure of the exact sequence of the parts in the installation kit. Is this, in the photo below, how these parts should go together? Orientation of that black sealing ring - does the smaller diameter side go down first to seal against the wheel? And then the gray washer goes on top of the black ring?


The owner's manual outlines a registration procedure for new sensors, and an initialization procedure also, that I'll be trying once these are installed so I hope to avoid having to take the 4Runner in to have the sensors programmed. If there are any other bits of information I should know about installing these, please comment. Thanks in advance!

You seem to have the wrong TPMS sensors. My '22 ORP has rubber stemmed TPMS sensors from factory. Just pull them through. The rim fit angle is different from steel vs aluminum rims. OEM sensors are pretty much plug and play. You can select "Change Wheel Set" on the Instrument Cluster and then drive it straight and steady above 50 mph for a few miles to relearn. But from my experience the mileage to drive varies and the truck seems to figure it out on it's own eventually. But yes when installing old style metal stemmed sensors put sensor in then the top rubber seal, washer and nut. Idea is sandwich the rim with the rubber provided. Doesn't need to be overly tight snug it down and spray with some water to verify no leaks.

I got the part number from another member of this forum. Then I went on the official Toyota web site and confirmed that the sensors would work with my 4Runner.


My question was which way that top rubber seal installs on the valve stem as it has a narrow portion and a wide portion as seen in the photo in my original post. Tell me which part of that seal goes nearest the TPMS itself?

 

When it comes to TPMS sensors, there's some discrepancy in the correct part number when searching online. I may be wrong, but 42607-48010 (PMV-C015) seems to be for the 2020-2021 4Runner. Best bet is to call the Toyota dealership, give them your VIN and see what their internal computer says.

Personal experience--I can tell you that I bought brand new sensors when I changed wheels/tires a few months ago. I got PMV-E000 (or Toyota P/N 42607-02050) sensors. They have the pull-through type rubber stems, and they programmed perfectly.

Can't blame you for wanting to try what you already have, so to answer your question with my best guess--I think that black ring is a spare for the one that's already on the TPMS:

 

Many years ago I use to work for Discount tires. There was a tpms scan tool we used to program new sensors. The sensors are easier to program when they are out of the wheel. They need to be really close to the scanner in order to program. Afterwards the scan tool gets connected to the obd port and then you can program the new sensors to the vehicle. I don't think they'll work the way you'll want them by just installing them into the wheels and putting them on the vehicle. Tpms sensors come in all shapes and material. I really like the rubber one because they didn't corrode and more durable.

 

The sensors you have will work and you have the order correct. Just put them in and hit "Change wheel set" on the dash and your done.

 

The narrower raised portion fits down into the rim. It's there to account for the rim thickness. Flat side of rubber seal goes to the washer then the nut. Yes the older sensors will work but are not OEM correct for '22.

 

Thank you! That's exactly the information I was looking for!
