Nope, don't need one.  I wanted to post here about the (visual) similarity of the Gateway module used in early Superchaargers, to our RAV4 EV Gateway modules.  My car is OK . . . for now, though it's been in the body shop for three weeks -- another person changed lanes into me again.  Their insurance is covering it, but it means I'm driving the old AWD Sienna for a while . . . and I got to re-use my TPMS tool and bead-breaker to change the TPMS sensors on the van . . . just as I predicted :/ 


[The same brand of sensors that worked successfully on the RAV4 did not work on the Sienna (though they're different part Nos.).  While the TS508 could read them fine, the van would only recognize two of them.  I had to but a different brand of TPMS sensor -- Autel 1-SENSORM -- and use the TS508 to be Sienna-compatible, then swap them in.  Van liked those fine.  So, I've gotten a lot of experience around TPMS sensors and tire bead-breaking this year.


Amazon took the bad set back, but the Autel's were four times the price of the Amazon-sourced ones.  I am doing a lot of flying etc. for the next two weeks and didn't want to miss the Amazon return window on the bad set, so I just bought the Autel's locally, and paid the price.]
