TPMS question
I'm trying to reprogram my sensors. LF, no problem. RF is very slow to learn. RR won't learn at all. LR no problems.
Does this mean my batteries are going... DEAD??
TIA

Respectfully, I have to disagree. The sign of a failing sensor is an intermittent XXX on your DIC while displaying tire pressure reading. The fact that it is slow to train simply means the magnet is not quite strong enough to penetrate the metal in the wheel. Your tire dealer should have a tool they use to train sensors that should work better than your magnet.

Well, now getting the dreaded XXX and Ser. Tire Mont.Sys
on the DIC.
Interesting that they all are going out at the same time. Changed the car battery out last week and had to reprogram the TPMS. That's when all this started.
Oh, I have a huge magnet! It will hurt you if you get your finger between it and some metal!

Maybe the RF receiver has issues. My 99 has had the battery removed several times to work under the hood and to replace with a new one and I have never had to reprogram the TPMS even when it was removed for close to 48 hours. I just had to set the time on the radio and resyncronize the key fobs.

The first time I reprogrammed the TPMS after the battery change was easy. Then I switched rear tires, left to right, etc., long story, and the problem began. Key fob, no issues. TPMS are now 7 years old. They're being replaced this week, so I'll find out! Thanks for the reply.

I had to reset the clock.

All 4 still work, but I plan on needing some REAL soon.
