Default 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?

Could be the battery failed in the TPM. A tuner with proper equipment can turn off the entire TPM system but not a single wheel

The reciever is in the driver's side rear wheel well.

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

Default sensor

Does that make sense? Then the front tire is programmed to the rear. Then what if the others dont work, rush to remove the other tires within 45 seconds to the rear location?

Each tire has it own sensor -the receiver is in the rear. It knows
which tire has what sensor

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.

Each sensor has a specific ID number that is transmitted to the module during training. The module can not accept duplicate ID numbers. To the OP, you most likely have failed sensors.

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

sometimes it just needs the jumpstart programming to recognize.. The distance factor
doesn't matter as much to "work"

What's the DIC readout say the tire pressure is for that corner? There's a chance the signal is strong enough to report pressure, but not to do the initial pairing.

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.
