**Service Tire Mont. Sys**
Purchased some Y2K wheels from here a while back and just got them on my 99. Now I get the "Service Tire Monitor System" msg on my screen 
. Do I need to do something to have my car pick up the new tire sensors on the new wheels? My old wagon wheel sensors worked fine. Whats a man gotta do???

Try this first...

Any good sized magnet will work, I've used an old speaker magnet and also used an extend-able magnet (used for retrieving that tool that always seems to drop in a place you can never reach). Both worked fine.
Oh this assumes the wheels are from a 2000, if they're from a 2001 or newer, the sensors won't work on your car and you'll need to replace them.
Good luck... GUSTO

Assuming that you have the proper sensors in the wheels, you will need to "train" the new sensors to your car.
I can't remember the training procedure off hand, but I will look it up and re-post for you later.

Thanks for the help/info 
. Turns out my rims are 2001 so I guess I need sensors or can the sensors from my wagon wheels be used on the thin spokes? Thanks for keeping this rookie in line!!! :o

So I have a similar problem.. I switched from the wagon wheels to aftermarket rims, but kept my old tires and TPSs... Now, the R front won't register a reading all the time. and I say 'not all the time' because it comes and goes... sometime it reads RXXX, or R____, or R 36.
it's annoying. and obviously I get the "SERVICE" warning to go along with it...
I'm going to try to reset the sensors, but I have a feeling that the tire guys goofed something up... I'm just glad I didn't bring them my car, just the wheels...
