Yet another PTMS Problem

My RF tire reads 24 lbs when there is 30 lbs in the tire. I can get the car into reset learning mode but I can't even get the LF tire to reset (beep the horn). I'm even using the round magnet made to reset TPM's. I tried an even stronger magnet and still no luck. Any suggestions?

If that doesn't work you can skip the LF wheel and go to the RF wheel to see if any of the TPM's will program. But if you do the RF will show in the DIC as the LF.

Yup, and I also tried the rf where I'm having the problem and no beep. Yes, I checked my horn, it does work.

Sounds to me like your battery in the tpms is about to die.
I just rebuilt all 4 of mine and no more bad readings.
The Old style TPMS 97-2000 were good for 9-11 years but not much more than that.
