If you're trying to reset the sensor to the computer, you put the magnet at the tire valve stem. A friend of mine, who is a AC Delco Tech, uses two. He places one at the base of the valve stem, and the other at the top of the valve stem on opposite sides of the stem.When the tire pressure sensor reset, the horn would beep. Don't ask me why, I was just watching.

it could take 20-30 seconds so be patient. i just move mine along the stem (very close but not touching - although i don't know if it makes a difference) if you try the dr side front and it does not work, restart process and try the pside front. if it works, try the rest and if they all work but the dr side then it may be a bad sensor. they won't be programmed correctly but at least you may have found a bad one. if it were me, and i got the signal on one of them, i would go back and retry all to make sure. i had to do this on my 99 because i had a bad dside front tps. my luck!

size does not matter
