Is there a method other than Techstream (can't find a working adapter) or ATEQ Quickset (way too expensive for what I need to) to reset the TPMS to the sensors that where there last summer? I bought new wheels/tires/TPMS for winter at Costco last fall and they programmed their TPMS but when I reinstalled my original summer wheels (that their TPMS were already registered with), they aren't recognized. It's my first car that does that. All my other cars would remember the two sets of wheels and switch to the active TPMS after a few minutes of driving. I would prefer not having to go to a garage to reset the TPMS. The idea of changing the wheels myself is exactly NOT to go to a garage for this simple task.
Update, I had Carista installed for when I tailored some settings and saw that in its features (under Service) "Register new TPMS sensor IDs (if you change your wheels or tire pressure sensors, for example); you can also see current tire pressures if pressure display is supported by the vehicle" So I paid for another month and although I can see the TPMS pressure value for all four sensors, there is no settings to register the TPMS. The TPMS light stayed on for a few minutes while I played with the app and it disappeared after a while. Not sure if it's something I did or not. I went for a quick drive and it didn't light up again. I'll contact Carista and ask what's the procedure to register new TPMS.
I think 5th gen Prius has finally got that. For previous gens, there "are" ways to DIY this, but they're somewhat pricey and involved. Dealership can reintroduce either set, but you'd need to be a masochist to be paying them twice yearly. A hacked Techstream setup also would work I think. Cheap/simple: decide which set of wheels you'd prefer to be recognized (likely your all-seasons?), have that done, once, and fugedabout TPMS on the other set. When I got a set of wheels with snow tires, through a dealership in 2010, the guy asked me if I wanted TPMS sensors on them, while quietly shaking his head...
Except for a car without a spare, I prefer to be warned when it's low and not when the sidewall is destroyed. I think Carista did the trick. My wife did a 68 km drive this morning and the TPMS light is still off.
