Frustrating to the point of ....

Hate Toyota now.

I thought it was your Honda Fit that did that?

My two Toyota's go all winter with the TPMS light lit up as my winter tires don't have the sensors. Traction control and VSC can be disabled in my truck without issue (never tried in our Camry). Actually the truck has TPMS light on all the time as I had a sensor go bad and the Dorman either didn't work or I goofed on the reprogramming (thank you cheapo Techstream knockoff).
 
unrelated but fyi, Some cars have a tire pressure reset button inside. After you set/adjust all your tire pressures, you hold that button for several second to reprogram the computer for the new setting.
 
Well, I finally got my answer. I have to take it back to Lexus dealer. They have to someway enter the VIN and the TPM sensors In order for my car to recognize the new tire pressure sensors

My tire dealer said he had to take his Lexus in to the dealer and it cost 80 bucks

Hey, you may be right!

Now I Hate Toyota less and Honda just as much

I loved driving our old 2005 Rav4 with a stick more than the newer Subarus. Really pep'd up that ute.

The Yaris was priced properly for a sub compact - or Near Micro, unlike the Fit. Comparable cars but 5-7 grand difference in $$.

But if I drove those two clown cars gently I think the Honda would last longer. That was during My ä¸‡æ³ - Banzai !! all the time period of high stress.
