Default TPMS question...

Ok, situation is that I removed my wheels with the TPMS in them in the spring to mount up my CCW Classics. The paint was in pretty rough shape so I had the tires pulled and removed the TPMS to refinish the wheels. Originally I was planning on selling the old wheels once refinished (they're C5 Z06 replica wheels) but plans changed. I now need to keep them and run them as my "winter wheels" set up. The problem is...well, when I pulled the TPMS dumb dumb me forgot to mark them as to where they came off the car. Is there a way to check the TPMS before reinstalling them and mounting tires? IF I can avoid training them that would just save me some time. Any insight is much appreciated. Thanks.

Just retrain them, it isn't any big deal. You'll spend more time trying to figure out where they go.

Remount them. Take the car for a quick spin to wake the sensors up and then reprogram them with a strong magnet. It shouldn't take long.

Re-program with a strong magnet. The whole programming procedure is around 5 minutes!

I would relearn them sitting in the drivers seat before mounting them and mark them before install..

I tried doing that with my new CCW wheels/sensors before I mounted them. I had all four wheels/tires laying leaning against the garage wall next to the driver's side door where I had easy access. The sensors wouldn't register so that's why I had to mount them and drive the car in order to "wake them up".

It might be different with the sensors not mounted yet so I agree he should try that first.

Thanks for the link Mr. Bill. Do you know if I can do this procedure with just the TPMS modules before putting them in the wheels and tires mounting them?

That is what I did and then mark them which corner they are for.

Thank you sir. I'll have to try that and see how it works out for me. I'll post when I get a chance to try it.
