Gosh, I need to buy two tools for about $250 just to get the TPMS sensors done. Man, this sucks. Maybe I shall just live with the light on the dash then.
I plan to keep both set of wheels. So I have to do this each time I swap wheels? I hope there is some tool that can change the sensor IDs of the new sensors to those of the old sensors. So it will be a simple swap in the future. Oh, man, I hate this silly stuff! TPMS, electric parking brake, brake pad sensor etc. Are they created to just screw us or we are screwed by dumb car owners/drivers who require government babysitting.

The sensor IDs are on the valve stems on a sticker or you need a TPMS activator/reader tool to get them. I use an Autel MaxiTPMS TS408
The process itself is very simple, although the software from ATEQ was obviously written by paint huffing crayon eaters.
1. Get the Sensor IDs and positions (RF, LF, RR, LR)
2. Read current sensor IDs from car into ATEQ QuickSet
3. Program new sensor IDs into secondary slot on ATEQ QuickSet over USB using a Windows PC
4. Program new sensor IDs into the car using the ATEQ QuickSet
5. Drive with new TPMS sensors to verify light shuts off.
