The resolution to your problem isn’t that simple.
Each Tire Pressure Senor has an assigned number on it. Being these sensors are INSIDE the wheel/tire there is no way of knowing what that number is without breaking the tire bead and getting it.
Once you have all four numbers, you take your truck into Toyota and they add the tire Pressure Sensor Numbers to your trucks computer.
This is the only way to get the TPMS working with the swapped out wheels.
That said, there may be a way for Toyota to read the Tire Pressure Sensors Numbers already in the trucks computers, so you won’t have to break the bead on each tire to get it. meaning whats in your turcks computer are the numbers of the sensors now on your wife's truck, and vs a v.
The TPMS system was not designed by a rocket scientist, nor a back yard mechanic. It was designed by Rube Goldberg and is hideous to maintain when doing swaps such as yours. Personally I believe it was done this way so as to create another “Profit Center” for Toyota dealers.
Bottom line, you need to thinks.
1. The sensor number installed in each wheel.
2. 2. A trip to Toyota to have these sensor numbers added to the truck computer.
There is no known other way around this.
Hope this helps.
