Hey just wondering if it is possible to check to see if the TP senders are functioning before you go thru the expense of dismounting etc.I have read on here that you could do it from the drivers seat with the sensors placed in there relative positions 1-4. then mark them and be sure to put them in the right spot . 2001 Thanks for input ..

If you just want to see if they will program, just sit in the car and when it asks for a specific wheel, place a magnet on a sensor and it will reconize it.. Set that one a side and continue with another one.

The RFA doesnt care where the sensor is. It just looks for a sensor ID. If they all get reconized, your golden. They will show XXXX pressure but, thats expected.
