Emergency Help Needed - Tire Sensor

I'm in the tire store where they had to fix one of my Kuhnmos and now I get NO reading on the wheel the fixed. I drove it about a mile to let it relearn but its still showing nothing. What's the procedure to reset it? I'm getting the message "service tire monitoring system". Helppppp!

did they fix the tire with the old sensor or do you have a new sensor put in? i just put new ones in with new wheels and had to reprogam manually (with a magnet) otherwise they may have screwed it up when mounted the tire back on

If they put it back on the same location, there should be no need to reprogram. May want to have them check and see if they might have broken the sensor.

How big of a magnet is needed to do this? All I have on hand are of the refridgerator type.

I just had the Serv. Tire Mon. Sys. message come up out of nowhere. Don't know why.

Thanks.

It is very easy to damage them during tire installation.
If the magnetic reprogramming does not work, they may have created a problem.

Programming worked...sort of. Now I have an intermittent problem rather than a constant one.
