TPMS problem - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have mine done at the local Discount Tires (American Tires in other parts of the states). They just walk around the car scanning the sensors, then use the OBD2 port to upload. The only issue is their tool isn't updated for the BRZ/FRS yet. Tell them to use a 2012 Toyota Camry preset and it will work just fine.

Another thing you can use is the Toyota's Tech Stream and a cheap USB to OBD2 port dongle and update the codes yourself. (Although I haven't tried it yet, I believe it will work).

If a Subaru dealership can't do it there is one of two reasons. They want to sell you OEM sensors or they aren't experienced at all with the BRZ. Chances are they are trying to get you to buy from them.

I did this... And it works for me...

Is the code needed by the ECU printed on the sensor itself, or can it only be read wirelessly with some type of tool?

I just ordered a set of used sensors on ebay, as well as a ATEQ Quickset reader from Amazon. I'm now trying to figure out how to get the codes to input into the tool.

Codes should be printed on the out side of the sensors

connorlug · 04-20-2014, 06:24 PM

The codes are printed on the outside of the sensor

it'll be like a 'BU78362' 7 digits, all in caps. some letters and numbers.

bring the codes to a toyota dealer and give them the ID #'s. tire rack should have given those ID #'s to you. we usually charge a half hour of labor to reprogram the tpms. anything more than that you're getting robbed.

or if you can get your hands on toyota techstream software you can do it yourself.
click on tire pressure monitoring once you connect to the vehicle, then hit utility on the left hand side. you'll see it.

I'll have the ATEQ Quickset so I'll be fine to do it myself. Thanks for the reply
