Tire sensor programing question

I'm about to replace my left front sensor and program all four per the procedure. My question is, does the car need to be driven before programing the sensors? If it's been stationary for a few days, will they program properly?

No but for them to register after you're through it'll have to be driven.

Go thru the DIC, hit each tire with the magnet (the horn will honk as verification) and you will be good to go.

They program immediately after you complete the procedure, you will have to drive it after to get a reading on the DIC.

O.k., Here's what I did. I had the new sensor in my hand inside the car, started the procedure. For the LF sensor I just held the magnet up to it until the horn honked, then proceeded to walk around the car with the magnet, and programmed the other 3. I used a Round oil filter magnet that I had drilled a larger hole in the center, so it fit over the valve stem. Took maybe 8-10 seconds for the horn to honk at each wheel, pressed "Reset", and I was done! Took the car for a quick drive, and they are all working perfectly!
