Why do they need to read the code if you already have them? Can't they just program the vehicle to the codes? Maybe I don't really understand how TPMS works.

The person I was talking about was trying to reset to the stock wheel TPMS sensors, so it made sense to go to the Toyota dealer. Even then, after Toyota read the code, the Subaru dealer took it back to their service department to program it. They wrote down the codes and put it in the glove compartment so they don't need to bring it over to Toyota again next time.

Not sure if it makes a difference going to a different manufacturer dealer when you have aftermarket sensors.
