My TPS doesnt work for my left rear. At 12 years old and 135K it is to be expected. My plan is to purchase one from the Tire Rack. Then change the battery so when the next one goes bad I will be ready.

My questions:

Do I need the magnet they sell ($15) with the TPS?

What do I do after I change the TPS and install the wheel?

 

Any strong magnet will work. I used the one that tests my pacemaker.

Here's the procedure
1) Turn ignition on
2) Press "Reset" button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages
3) Press and release the "Options" button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank
4) Press and hold the DIC "Reset" button for 3 seconds
5) Press the "Options" button again until TIRE TRAINING message appears
6) Press "Reset" button until the IPC "Learn L Front Tire" message appears in order to begin the programming
7) Install the J41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool (large magnet will do) over the left front valve stem
8) The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed (if this takes more than 15 seconds, pull magnet back and try again, it will give you three tries. Then you must start over)
9) When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order as directed by the IPC messages: -Learn R Front Tire -Learn R Rear Tire -Learn L Rear Tire Programming can be canceled by turning ignition off, waiting 2 minutes with no sensors being learned, finishing all 4 wheels or through the DIC. If the programming is canceled with less than 4 sensors learned, it will only accept the codes programmed up to that point. Takes about 10 Min

 

One thing I just remembered. Mine would not program right after they were installed. After driving around a couple of days, the procedure worked perfectly. Not sure why???

The left rear on mine just went out also! I only have 48000 miles. Guess it was just time. I am trying to decide if I want to just replace the one or do all four. Looking at the Schrader TPMS Replacement Valve (SB-28006) for $72.00 from ATS. Heard good things about them and they are pretty much oem.

 

thank you!
