Tire Training Trouble
Hey guys, my '99 coupe started showing "left front tire flat" but it wasn't flat. The tire pressure has always read about 3 psi lower than normal. No problems with other TPMs. I did a search and followed the training procedure, and the left front trained, but I cannot get the right front to train. I have a very strong magnet, and I've tried it over and over. Since training the left front it is reading accurate pressure now and no longer hrowing the "flat" code when I drive it. The other pressure readings are blank. Any ideas before I go to the stealership? Thanks guys!

Thanks ICUALL. Tried it very slowly and it didn't work. Also tried something just for the heck of it; after the right front wouldn't train, I stepped back tot the right rear and it trained, then the left rear trained. Tried the left front again and nothing. Thanks for your response!

Confused
So which sensor is not training ?
As of now your sensors will be reading the wrong tire as each MUST be trained in sequence. Sounds like you have ONLY one bad sensor (right Front).

On my high-mileage '99, I had one tire pressure transmitter go bad a couple of years ago. The micro-switch inside decided to stick therefore it wouldn't activate anymore. New transmitter, no more problems.

As your sensors are starting to go bad the others may follow (the battery life is about7 years or so). You may want to buy online and have the rest done at a tire shop once they start to fail. You'll save a few $$.
And I could of got you one cheaper than that, but glad you got it taken care of
