Hi All,
First time post and my apologies for beating a dead horse. I tried to find a sticky on my question but no luck, just a lot of variations. I have a 2007 Camry with 2011 alloy wheels and their original oem 2011 TPMS sensors. (The original wheels and TPMS sensors to my '07 are long gone) I would like to get these oem 2011 TPMS sensors to work in my 2007. I'd like to do it myself. From what I understand, I need a tool to get the code from each sensor and then another tool to update the ecu. Is there a reasonably priced tool or tools that can do this or should I just pay the piper and take it somewhere? Thanks !!!

What is reasonable priced to you?

Do the 2011 have OEM TMPS sensors?

The Toyota dealer and a equipped tire shop, etc can do both procedures with one tool. Might check prices for this service from both outlets. Try Discount Tire.

There are DIY code readers only and tools that will that read and program the sensors into the cars computer.

The issue the tool or tools may cost more then having a shop to it. Speculate its cheaper to pay someone. One such tool is the Autel TS508 which some tire shops use but is $250.

 

Toyomoho,
Thanks for the reply. I was looking into the Autel TS508 until I read that it can only read codes off their own their own MX sensors. This is what I find so confusing. If I have to shell out $200 for the service, I would rather buy the tool for around that amount. I just want to buy the right tool that will work with OEM sensors.

 

If 2011 Camry rims, then the sensors on both a 2007 Camry and the 2011 Camry wheels are supposed to Pacific Industries brand made for Toyota.

Look into a VT31 to get codes.

ATEQ Quickset to handle adding codes.

The MaxiTMPSTS408 and updated TS508 media states it can be used with all known sensors. People having Pacific sensors says either works. Suggest contacting Autel customer support to confirm!

Toyota uses Techstream but its not a turn key system for DIY'ers and requires some setup.

 

Thank you, Joey! That was just what I needed to know. I'll post the outcome later for anyone in a similar bind.

All done !!! The VT31 ID's the sensors (except one which was dead). I replaced it with a $12 Pacific on eBay. The Quickset loaded the new ID's into the ECU and no more annoying dash icon. Thanks for the advice.

 

Great job!

Thanks for posting back with your success.

 

I also believe I misread about the Autel TS508. It appears it also could have done the job. Like the Ateq VT31, the Autel TS508 can also ID most sensors but can only reprogram it's own Autel MX sensors. My sensors did not need to be reprogrammed.

 

The info stated it was supposed to work with ALL sensors. But you got the job done which is all that matters.
