Fooling DIC
So I cant get one tire sensor to recognize. It hasnt shown up as an error while driving. I have tried all different types of magnets, donuts, pieces etc. Any secrets or way to bypass one and move on?

Take wheel off and take it to the drivers rear wheel and program it there...

Even if it is a front tire, the programming sequence is LF, RF, RR, LR. So if you begin the programming sequence and get to say the RF that won’t program while on the car, take the tire off and program it next to the receiver. The receiver will know where that tire goes based on the program sequence position.

I had one go bad over the winter last year. Installed a new one and now all is well.

I replaced the right rear sensor because its reported bad but I cant get by the front right because it wont learn. It doesnt report its bad on the DIC. If I roll the tire closer to the rear, not install it, would that help?

That is what we are saying...
Take it to the drivers side rear tire, roll
it right next to it

If it's not working, your options are 1) swap that sensor with one of the rear ones and hope it's strong enough to work on the front; 2) replace it (or all 4); 3) do a DIY battery replacement

When I got new wheels and tires, I removed all 4 of the pressure sensors. After pulling the negative battery cable to let the car "power down", no error messages. The gauge still shows the sensor location (ex: LR and RR) but a blank where the pressure number would be.
