Step-by-step procedure

Step 1 — Open TPMS service menu

Connect your OBD2 scanner to the vehicle and turn the ignition ON.

Navigate to:

Service Reset
→ TPMS Service

Step 2 — Select the correct vehicle

Select the vehicle in the scanner menu:

Toyota
→ Corolla
→ 2016/10 – 2019/03
→ 433 MHz (4260742021)

This selects the correct TPMS sensor protocol used in this vehicle.

Step 3 — Scan the TPMS sensors

Using the TPMS activation tool, scan each tire pressure sensor.

Trigger the sensors in this order:

LF → RF → RR → LR

The scanner will read and store the sensor ID from each wheel.

Step 4 — Switch to programming mode

After scanning all sensors, switch to the Programming tab in the TPMS menu.

Select:

OBD Relearn

This will write the scanned sensor IDs into the vehicle’s TPMS module through the OBD2 connection.

Step 5 — Confirm the TPMS relearn

Follow the instructions shown on the scanner.

The tool will transfer the sensor IDs to the TPMS control unit.

After the process completes:

  1. Turn the ignition OFF
  2. Turn the ignition ON again

Step 6 — Test the system

Drive the vehicle for several minutes to allow the TPMS system to initialize.

The TPMS warning light should turn off once the system detects all sensors.

Hi, I am Juraj Lukacko. I got frustrated by unhelpful and scammy mechanics, so I decided to learn everything about car diagnostics myself. I test dozens of new car diagnostic tools every month along with learning new strategies to fix and customize cars.
