If they just switched over the sensors, they should be reading right away. Usually only new sensors need to be driven a few miles. They they use a rebuild kit?

ekim

Yes I think they did use a rebuild kit...

Did the reprogram it by connecting the device to the port under the dash after scanning the sensors? There is also a reset procedure in your owners manual and a button under the steering wheel area under dash

im not sure what the small button on the sensor does. but there is one on it. i wonder if that resets it

CJITTY

On the TPMS sensor itself?

If talking about the small button under the dash..the Owners manual is awesome!!

Its either the reset procedure in owners manual, they didn't reprogram after rebuild or sensors are defective

ekim

Can any body tell me how to reprogram because my sensors were not defective when I went to discount tire and I do not have an owners manual bc my car never came w one... I wish it did though!!!!!

CJITTY

Discount Tire is a good outfit..drive right on in to the tire pressure check bay..the one closest to lobby with no lift and tell them to fix your TPMS. Trust me, they will get their tpms scanner and reprogram your tpms..you cannot reprogram yourself

ekim

Sounds good. Thanks!!!

After a 2 minute Google search, I am exhausted...lol

The reset button under the dash is just for benchmarking the pressure settings so it won't help you. Discount should of tested before you left but assumed the sensors would pick back up. My guess is they just need to be reset with their tool..takes 5-10 mins and it is FREE!

Here is the benchmark reset pic..Google is awesomr and that is free too

on the tmps sensor itself. i have 4 here im looking at

CJITTY

OK..lets stop for tonight..go to bed. Tomorrow go to Discount tire and roll right into the bay I mentioned earlier.

When they greet you, say exactly this statement :

"Hey, I was here yesterday and had some work done, and you all rebuilt my tpms sensors but I don't think you reset my tpms computer which is why my sensors are not reading"

I cannot offer any more assistance on this, so please report back tomorrow after Discount resolves this issue for free...cool? Alrighty then ...

CJITTY

One last note..my sensors picked up within 2 minutes after being rebuilt..no driving required

I just had mine swapped over on Tuesday and it picked up right away like nothing happened.
