Unlike my other vehicles, FJs apparently require a trip to the dealer to reprogram the computer to recognize new wheels (and new TPMS sensors) are mounted.
That means the usual practice of having dedicated snow tires on dedicated wheels requires a $80+ trip to the dealer service department to shut off the TPMS light on each wheel swap.
So, do those of you running dedicated (for example, studded) snows have your snow and A/T tires actually swapped on the same set of wheels each season, or is there no choice but to pay for an hour of dealer tech time to have the TPMS system reset each time?
(I wish it were the same situation as it is on some cars where at least you could do some magic turn off and on while the odometer reset button is held thing to get the computer to relearn which TPMS sensors are in use kind of thing, or like my car, where you can do it directly via the trip computer and it learns one set for summer and one for winter…)
