I'll bet it's dead. I wish you luck with the reprogram.

TPM Question
My RF sensor indicates RF _ _ _ _ the rest have readings, has it gone bad? I have not had the car long, but set all TP with manual gage to 30 psi. I do not have an alarm from it. Can it be re-programed? And can you just do that one? The rest are good.
Thanks,
I have the program doc.

BTW, your thread title had me thinking it was about the Throttle Position Sensor. You're actually dealing with the Tire Pressure Monitor system (TPM).

It may have finally died. You can re-program, but I think you'll have to follow the sequence however. No problem though as it only takes a minute or so for all of them anyway.

No problem. The main reason I even mentioned it at all is the fact that many times potential posters may see a thread title and skip right over it thinking it's not something they're interested in and in fact may have very useful/helpful info on the subject.
BTW, have you found or bought a magnet for the reprogramming yet? Nothing special is required in case you're wondering.

All you need is a big magnet. Use the one on the back of an old speaker and follow the instructions in the manual to reset the system. If it wont reset you'll need a new sensor. Gene Culley will see you right.

Try reprogramming all the sensors again. If that works great. If not, chances are the sensor is bad.
