New wheels on xD and TPMS
So I installed my old tC wheels on the xD yesterday, expecting TPMS light to come on since I did not move the sensors - waiting for a new set to come in.
Drove for about 80 miles since then - the light still did not come on. I wonder if it's a feature or a glitch...

Well, you can take the sensors out of your steelies and put them on your 18's as they will already be programmed to the TPMS computer. New sensor from Toyota/Scion are expensive. I just ordered my xD today and I am also debating the same problem.

I put new wheels on my tC and didn't switch the TPMS. Eventually the light comes on and stays on but other than that it is no big deal. You just have to check your tire pressure like you are supposed to anyways, sensors or not. It doesn't hurt anything on the car as long as u check the stuff like ur supposed to.

they come on around 300 miles or so i think. They didn't come on for a while but then I took a 6 hour road trip and they came on. But like I said, it doesn't affect anything. I think u can actually reset it and make the light turn off but it will just come back on. Just get used to the ligh and it won't be a problem.

Yeah if u can find them for $60 then that is a GREAT deal.
Hey I also saw that u were on www.sxdforum.com. My name is ElijahtC on there too.

TPMS sensors show up on eBay from time to time - mostly off Camrys and such. Just don't get truck ones - there is a chance of getting the ones with a wrong angle of the valve.
I'm also a mod on yoursciontc.com if you are ever there

ok cool. Never been there.
I am trying so hard to find some wheels that will fit the xD but not mess with the speedo. I don't know anything bout this stuff so it is harder for me. It is gonna be a project car for me and my girl. I kinda wanna run a bigger wheel like an 18 but I am sure they will be too heavy.

I got the tC wheels installed with TPMS sensors - had Toyota re-program the ECU for the sensors - works like a charm. I might have an extra set of sensors for sale pretty soon if anyone wants them.

I just re-set the system and turned it off. I figured people have been driving millions of years without pressure monitoring :D
I didn't realize the sensors could just be used from the stock wheels - that's good news for when we get alloys for her xD.
So how are they attached to the wheels, and where are they?
