Default TPMS fix...

When I bought my 20s I installed new sensors. The sensors had to be reprogrammed just so that the correct tire matched what was on the display but each sensor worked regardless.

Now, I have new rims and new sensors and I'm not getting anything off of them. They're not reading any pressure what so ever.

Has anyone found a fix for this short of going to the dealership?

How old are the sensors? they may have just gone dead and are in need of replacement....

EDIT: I just reread that they are new... you might try having the dealer do the relearn....they charge me $19 bucks for tire rotation and that includes the relearning....

The sensors were brand new still sealed in the package when I got them.

I'd consider having the local dealership program them, at most they are going to charge you the price of a tire rotation...catch them on a good day and they may even do it for free as a courtesy...

I'm a dumb ***...I assumed something besides the normal recalibration needed to be done since none of the sensors were transmitting a pressure reading. I went through the motions just to see what if and it worked!
