Type of TPMS tool required for TPMS reset: When services are performed, such as a tire change or TPMS sensor replacement, in one or more tires of a Toyota RAV-4, a TPMS relearn must be performed to transfer the sensor information to the vehicle’s ECU.ĭirect TPMS, sensors are installed in the wheel An indicator light (low-line TPMS system) or each tire pressure will show on the dash (high-line TPMS system).Ī TPMS relearn is recommended after a sensor replacement or tire rotation. If one or more tires indicate low tire pressure, the TPMS sensors will transfer the information to the vehicle’s ECU. The Toyota RAV-4 is installed with a direct TPMS system, which means there are TPMS sensors in the wheel. Toyota uses a proprietary system, Honda, and Chrysler for example don’t and I understand if you install an unprogrammed module itself programs with those makes, I just updated the TPMS from some winter tires on a 17′ Rav4 to a 19′ Rav4 and the TPMS sensor had to come out and be placed in the TPMS programmer to accept the new car data, I looked for one to buy, read here somewhere someone bought one from Tire Rack, called them, they disagreed, they had nothing, so.įind a friendly tire jobber and try your luck, I understand Toyota can do it, but then you have to reprogram every winter summer wheel switch.Īfter the TREAD Act was mandated in 2007, all vehicles manufactured in the United States beginning in 2008, must be installed with direct or indirect TPMS systems. Purpose: looking for an aftermarket or OEM device that would allow me to pair my TPMS on my winter tires.
