TPMS question, kicking my butt

Hey guys, new to the forums and coming in with a problem lol. I usually drive diesel trucks so anything outside of my 2005 F-350 I'm ignorant to. I bought a 2007 Prius a couple months ago because I realized I was spending just shy of $300 in fuel and I needed something more efficient so now I'm that guy with a lifted coal rolling truck and a Prius lol.

Anyway, the Prius has these fancy TPMS things that the truck does not have so I'm doing my best to figure them out. The light came on pretty much right after I bought the car and I figured I'd ignore it like literally every other light on my vehicles but I've had a couple days off so I decided to go ahead and work on it. Took it to a tire place, they said the passenger front is dead and the driver front has a low battery. No problem, I'll replace both of them, I've done stems before, how hard can this be? It went fairly smooth but the light is still on. Go back to the tire place and now the passenger rear is dead but all others are good. Put another one in that one and the light is still on so I go back and they had a hard time getting the passenger front to pair up and it still shows the passenger rear is bad. They go the passenger front to connect, I order another one for the passenger side rear and I install that today and wouldn't you know it? The light is STILL ON!!!!

I'm so done with this, I want to order a set of 4 and just do all of them so this is over with. The problem with that is I don't know which ones to order. The ones I got already has one dead one and I'm sure the passenger front is probably dead too since they had a hard time getting it to read even though it is new and I'm just unsure as to which ones I should get. When I ordered I wanted one with the plastic back because the ones with just silicone seamed like someones cheap fix to make a buck but I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to these. Can someone point me to a cheapish decent set of 4?

 

Yeah it's that light, I've tried the TPMS reset, after holding it for a little bit it blinks 3 times slowly then blinks normally for about a minute and then just stays on.

 

I'll try to find this tech stream thing, I decided to just get all 4 new sensors and put them in. Went back to Discount tire to get them paired and their machine says they are working and the light went off for maybe 30 seconds but its right back on. He said the thing in the car that actually reads them is probably the issue. Anyone have any experience with that?

 

The manual says:

1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and the hybrid system is off. 2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed tires to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level. (See “Tires” on page 434.) 3. Turn the “POWER” switch to “IG−ON” mode. 4. Push and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the tire pressure warning light blinks slowly three times. 5. Wait for a few minutes with the “POWER” switch selected in “IG−ON” mode, and then turn the hybrid system off.

I've done that multiple times but right after the 3 slow blinks it just blinks fast for a minute then stays solid. After turning the car off then fully on it is still there.

 

The dealer is my next stop, unfortunately it's a $130 diag fee for the first hour....

 

Discount tire ended up reaching out to me after I posted how grateful I am that I didn't have TPMS on my truck and told the story. They briefed the manager at the store closest to me, and they ended up working out a deal with me to get their sensors put in the car.

He rechecked all my sensors and said that 3 were working good and he manually paired them to the car but 1 was dead. They offered to just replace the one but I decided to let them replace all 4 and send these ones back to Toyota.

 

$200 after tax.
