Exclamation Safety Check Light Warning!

Just installed my new rims & tires. They don't have a sensor like my stock wheels. How do I take the Check System light warning off my dash board??

Sorry I'm new to this. How do you swap them out or put the TPMS sensors? I asked Pepboys & they said there's nothing I can do to switch them out or put them on

the senors are about $100 each. you going have to program them at the dealer or know someone who has the software. You can not do it yourself you need a tire machine. You need the machine to compress the sidewall around the sensor to remove and install them.

Sets of 4 sensors are typically sold for $100 in the classified section. You could also buy a set from ebay i believe for substantially cheaper than $100 each.

Good price range. I'll hit up the tire shops near my area to do the swap
