Default TPMS Not Working, Ideas?

Seven years ago I sold my '02 coupe and bought an '11 GS. Today I purchased another '02 (keeping the GS). On the ride home I discovered that there are no tire pressures showing on the DIC. As I scroll through, nothing shows (for tire pressure) on the DIC at all. Could it be as simple as all four senders are dead? I'd appreciate hearing any ideas the C/F community might have. Thanks! -DJ

There could be a multitude of things. It could be the previous owner didn’t install the senors with a new set of tires, they’re dead, or they weren’t programmed to the car.

Mine does not show tire pressures until I am a few miles down the road after a restart. Are you getting a service tire pressure system message ?

Begin by pulling the codes and see where that leads you. Good luck - hope it is something simple.

I'd start with a visual inspection of the wheels to see if the TPMS is even installed. When I bought my car I had one TPMS (dead) and three rubber valve stems.
