TPMS, get what you pay for.

I bought mine from Ebay too. I have two set's of tires and rims, and when i change i have to have the sensors reprogrammed each time.

Got mine from what looks like the same place on eBay and mine work just fine

Thanks for the comment. I'm sure mine just need programed.

Yes, you need the learning tool. Its about $80. Once you get it, you'll just push the reset button when DIC is displaying TPMS, and it will then ask if you would like to start learning process. Once in, you'll start from LF and make a circle (RF, RR, LR) around your car until 2-honk is heard, signaling the end of the program. You will just need to get the antenna close to the TPMS sensor (I make it touch the tire) and keep it there until it honks.

$20 to a tech at a dealer gets all kinds of stuff done...

Haha should have figured. The dealership in the town I work in, does not have anyone there today who know how to do it. Guess ill have to wait till Monday, to get a definitive answer.

Definitive answer? Don't tell me you still think sensors might be bad

[i007spectre]

No I'm sure they aren't. I got to thinking the vehicle that a friend used to bring my old tires and wheels home from the shop had three of them on the back and one up front. And the one that was closest in the back to me as he drove off was the last one that my dic went to -- on.

I keep expecting to go out in the morning and have them all showing a psi reading because my old tires and wheels are in my garage. About 5 feet awAy from my car.

The outfit that mounted your new tires can and should have "relearned" the new TPMS. Since I bought a complete wheel/tire package from Rudy at TR, I went ahead and sprung for the $80 tool so that I could DIY and be completely independent of the tire shop. I am very, very pleased with the result.

BTW, my car takes two starts to realize the TPMS has been changed and go blank. Enjoy your winters. Once you've experienced a winter season on them, you'll never be without. Put a set on your wife's car while you're at it.

I would if I had one.

This works on my 2011 Camaro. You can then refill tires or[hopefully] have enough air left to get to a filling ststion. Hope this helps.

Don't waste time or money having the dealer do it or buying the tool, the above method works perfectly and only takes a few minutes.

Only works on 2010-2011. 2012+ Requires the tool, letting air out does not do it anymore.

However, my TPMS's in my winter setup also lose connection sometimes, but after few km's it will come back, all or a few, then all back. Then goes again. I don't really mind, just need to click the message away. Summer tires with OEM have no problems.

How come my owners manual says i need a "relearn tool??

[Spektrum]

Like mentioned before, if you have a 2012 or newer you will DEFINITELY need a relearn tool. You can try and go through the before mentioned process through the instrument panel, but the vehicle will not recognize the sensors no matter what you do.
