New TPMS - DIC Display
All, bought a set of Doreman TPMS, was changing out tires so i thought it was a good time to replace the sensors. Followed the DIY instructions, the horn did beep on each tire and the DIC did sequence through. Only problem is that the TPMS display is not showing the tire pressure at all. Same for front and rear. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If he had the incorrect sensors the horn would not have beeped. Sensors, like the Key FOB's, are transmitters that send encoded information to the RFA, which is the receiver, on a specific frequency. If the sensors were NOT correct they would not have sent information to the RFA which then told the BCM to honk the horn when the magnet activated them and caused identification information to be transmitted.
Got it... thank you
I'm a little slow, but I should be able to remember this one... lol

I agree that if the horn honked, the TPMS should be sync'd to the car. Do drive it on a bit longer trip and see if the pressures register.

Took it out for a 15 minute drive still no pressure. Check the codes and all were clear (no codes) taking it to work on Thursday which is about an hours drive. While there my mechanic is taking it to install new sways and do an alignment. If I do not have pressure reading after the drive in I will have him check it out.

Quick update, on my way into work this morning, I got a warning message on the DIC to service tpms system. I did not have time to pull the codes. So something is not right. Car is with the mechanic today, asked him to look into it. Will update later tonight.
Before I went in for my wheel/tire install I used the TPMS program procedure to make sure the new ones worked. I marked each one for location using a small strip of tape. Now I am wondering if they removed the tape when they installed the units and could that be the issue, even though the car seemed to recognize them?

So you tried to reprogram them after that and still would not program?
I don't think the sensors would know or the other components would know which sensor you marked for what position... when you tried to reprogram they should just have recognized the ones you tried and the order in which you tried to program them... not revert back to some previous order. So I would vote NO that isn't the issue...

Update
Mechanic reset the TPMS, he said they did program. Checked the display when I left work, pressure was still not showing. He is close to my office so I thought the pressure might come up on my way home. No dice, about halfway through my ride i got the Service TPMS warning on the DIC.
Checked codes when I got home, only had a SCM B2680 H, which would be associated with the memory seats. No other codes.
So back to square one. I am considering bring the car back to where I had the tires/wheels mounted and have them dismount one of the tires just to see if there is still tape on it. No sure what else to do at this point. Suggestions are welcome.

If you put a piece of tape on the TPMS, and the shop removed the tape, the TPMS will still work and will learn the location properly.
Check the codes before you shut off the engine while you have the 'Service TPMS' message. I have done the horrible thing of checking codes even while driving on the freeway (but then, I'm also the guy who admits to texting while driving).

What does the tape have to do with anything?

HOWEVER.
If you taped over the pressure sensing hole in the TPMS, then I could see this problem occuring for sure.

The signal is going through a couple of layers of rubber/plastic/metal or whatnot before it gets to the receiver. I find it unlikely that your tape blocks the signal.
