Going on a road trip on the 17th put run flats and rims on today can not get them to relearn with magnet had no trouble in the past but this time on go I guess I will have to take to dealer have them do it with Tech 2.
The tire pressure sensors learn with a magnet - no Tech II required. How old are your sensors? They battery in the sensor has a finite life. I have replaced one on my 1999 coupe and another one has started to flake out on me. Otherwise, the TPM receiver may have gone bad. Best of luck.
Go to your local tire shop. They may have a electromagnet tool that they can use to learn your sensors. Or try a stronger magnet. Wait, are you sure the sensors got put back into your rims?

They worked last year when when I put them on and l had no trouble relearning them, they are around 4 years old they are the TPM that came with car from new.
Stop in at dealers today they could not do it with a Magnet need to take car back on Thursday.

check with the warranty company but i doubt it. you can buy them from cully here and have any tire shop put them on if they are bad. ntb did mine for free because i do all of my tire business with them. i had to buy them first, of course! you will save a bundle. have the dealership give you an estimate for the fix (they may charge for troubleshooting) and then check diy price. a good tire shop should also be able to program them and/or find out if they are bad for you. i doubt if all of them are bad at once so if the first doesnt register, move on to the others to see if they are working. they will be out of sequence but you will at least know it is a tps problem and not the receiver. depending on your finances, you can just replace one and then the others as they go out or pony up to replace all of them at once. that is assuming the receiver is ok - which it probably is.

If the sensors were not handled properly when dismounting & mounting the tires, it’s very possible the tire jockey damaged ALL of them.
For all reading this thread it is a good idea to verify with the tire shop manager that ALL sensors are working BEFORE tire work is started.
Always insist that the most experienced personal (with regard to run-flats & TPS) do the work. You don’t want to train people on YOUR car – unless they are only observing.
OK found out it's not the sensors put the none RF back on could not relearn them, so it must be in the system some where dropped it off at dealers, what ever they find I hope it's covered by my warranty.
