I've been using this device for almost a year and previously shared my experience, which received a lot of support.
When replacing the TPMS sensors on my 2015 US-spec Toyota Land Cruiser, I needed Techstream to write the new IDs but kept getting the error: "ID registration failed due to a communication error with the ECU." I tried different Techstream versions (V10, V13, V14) and operating systems (Win 7, XP), but nothing worked.
I suspected an issue with the Mini VCI cable, so I tested multiple firmware versions (1.4.x, 2.0.x) and different cables, but Mini VCI simply cannot write TPMS IDs, making it a complete waste of time.
After extensive research, I purchased the VXDIAG VCX Nano WiFi (Techstream V18.00.018) from vxdiag.com. It worked perfectly, with fast communication and successful TPMS ID writing.
However, Techstream only detected the spare tire sensor, while the other four sensors showed no data. After checking, I realized that the Denso 550-0105 sensors I originally bought were incorrect. The factory-installed sensor was Pacific PMV-107J, and the correct Denso replacement was 550-0103.
Finally, after replacing all sensors with 550-0103 and using VCX Nano to write the IDs, Techstream successfully recognized all five TPMS sensors, and the issue was completely resolved.
So:
Mini VCI cables cannot write TPMS IDs, so do not waste your time.
2015 Land Cruiser TPMS sensors vary by VIN, so always verify the correct model before purchasing.
VXDIAG VCX Nano is the best solution, providing fast and stable communication.
If you are facing a similar issue, I highly recommend purchasing the VXDIAG VCX Nano Toyota version from the official website and confirming your TPMS sensor model beforehand, as this will save you a lot of trouble.
