TPS magnet

I'm getting a new TPS installed in one wheel and to my dismay, realized that I have to reprogram ALL of them to get to the RR

I had a hard time getting them programmed with the speaker magnet while they were out of the car, so I'm wondering...

... does anyone have the special programming magnet they'd be willing to let me borrow. I will send it back to you as soon as I'm done (the next day?).

PM me or email me:

A simple pencil magnet will work

you dont need much of a magnet as long as you can get it close enought to the stem. I use a pencil magnet , nothing special less than a half pound strength

The shop installing the TPS should be able to reprogram everything for you.

At one time we used an old speaker.

I found a personal webpage with instructions -

Yea, the key is holding the magnet close to where the sensor is, sometimes you have to wait a couple secs before it picks it up.
