Tire Pressure Sensor Fault?

[JohnG]

The tool isn't necessary.

Mine wouldn't calibrate without it...

Then they weren't OEM. OEM one's are self learning.

i replaced all 4 but only front have problem.

The other 2 will probably eventually show a fault. Retrain all 4.......

The OEM TPMS sensors still need to be trained to the vehicle so that the Body Control Module (BCM) knows the ID of each sensor. Even if you swap wheels and tires with another set of factory wheels and tires, the system will not "self learn" the new sensors. They need to be trained using the proper training tool and procedure.

Thank you.

B.S. I've never had to use a tool anytime I've installed new sensors on new wheels. They just synced up by themselves.

Incorrect. These TPMS are self learning. That's a fact.

Just because they didn't set a TPMS light doesn't mean that the system is working properly.

The module has no way to know which sensor ID is located at which point on the vehicle unless the sensors are trained following the sequence in the service manual. So even though it may display 4 different readings, the display will not correlate with the actual position of the tire.

Once again, you need to follow the training procedure in order to allow the module to learn the sensor ID and location of each TPMS sensor.

thank you

There not going to listen because they don't know any better. All they see is there's no light so it's ok but it's not. They won't believe someone who works on them well because it's internet.

I have a Ford Fiesta rental while my car is in the shop and the TPMS light went on, filled up the tire to 32 cold per the door sticker, and it won't go off. I'm worred Hertz is going to "find something to charge me for"... I wish TMPS sensors never were invented.

That's because people don't check tires or pressures..... How many times do we see people with 1/2 flat tires A LOT. It's very sad to see how people treat there car or truck. Then call it piece of junk when it breaks when most of it can be prevented

Exactly!

Same thing happened to me the moment after I installed the raxiom 4th brake light and led converter :/ it went away on its own but I figure it has something to do with that.
