Tire pressure display

bought a new 2020 4Runner last october, with a set of good year off road tires with reams and tire sensors. all install by dear. was ok all winter. when replace off road tires with original tire. no tire pressure detected.dealer said need to be replogram. so....need to pay twice a year for replogpam...for a 6 month old new vehicle.can some body help.

 

I don’t see why you need to reprogram. I don’t know about 2020’s but just swapping the sensors should be all you need to do when changing your setup, so I would ask if they installed the original sensors in when swapping tires?

 

I swapped sensors from limited wheels to TRD pro wheels and got new tires. No programming needed.

ifaik, programming is only if your replacing with new sensors. But why when you have a perfectly working set.

 

mine showed blank for half a day or so, then started working

 

when replace the origginal tire with off road tire last october. it takes 2 days to show tire pressure. replace off road tire back to original tires 5 weeks ago. still will not show tire pressure..

 

Are you using the same set of wheels and just swapping tires?

Or, do both sets of wheels have sensors in them?

 

both sets with sensors. from dealer.

 

Sounds to me hes grumbling about having to pay the dealer to reprogram the sensors when he swaps rims and tires back and forth.

Which sounds normal to me as it doesn't sound like hes swapping the sensors.

As far as I know the 4R doesn't remember old sensors once new ones are programmed.

 

2 set of tires with their own ream and sensors/ one for sumer and one for winter.

 

both set of wheels with senors inside. install by dealer.

 

If you’re swapping out different sensors, although OEM, yes you WILL have to pay. Your truck can only recognize one set. To avoid that you have to KEEP one set on sensors in play at all times. Otherwise you will pay each time you put the other set of sensors on. Our trucks aren’t super computers lol.

 

if i understand this correctly, you have two set's of wheels/tires/sensors ? if so, the 4runner can only remember 5 sensors at a time. if you swap, you''ll need to program again. another option is to use use techstream to program yourself

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Just had my SCS wheels added with new tires. My tire shop aired down my Pro wheels and removed monitors and added standard valve stems to my stock pro wheels and tires. And added the monitors to my new wheels and tires. Make sure they go where they came off. No issues detecting the monitors.
