Recommended Posts

Hi

New on here

I had a ls430 2001 this car had nice 20 inch rims

I just bought a new ls430 2004

Few more toys on it !

I put the 20 inch wheels on new 2004

But it now has the warning light and also says low air

Have checked tyre pressure and its fine

Any one know how the car reads tyre pressure

Or any ideas ?

The old 2001 did not have the air pressure check system on it

Thanks for any ideas in advance

Good learning curve, the valves are over £100.00 each! I think I would go and find your old car and ask for them back as they are no use on a non TPMS model.

No they are not. They used to be but prices have come down more recently. Genuine Lexus ones (Made by Pacific) are £55 plus VAT and of course there are generic ones floating around now which work on 315Mhz and should be programmable via any dealer that has a decent TPMS Programmer.

You will also need a TPMS seal kit for each sensor and these are around £6 or £7 each.

Yup - if you compare the price to a year or so, they are 'almost' good value for money :whistling: . I think the generic ones that have appeared recently has driven down the price of OEM ones. (Plus production costs must have decreased now they have been around for 7 or 8 years.)

One interesting fact - the dealers I have spoken to have never had to replace a TPMS due to Battery failure (only mechanical failure due to breakage usually by trye fitters!). I believe they first appeared on Lexus in 2005/6 so the original ones are over 7 years old and still going strong.
