TPMS Programming
Can't seem to re-program my TPMS using the DIC comes to the front left as normal, but cannot go any further. Using two strong magnets one on each side of the valve stem, suggestions please.
Thanks, will try re positioning the magnet today and reprogram

Try only using ONE magnet. Lay it / place it on the spot just inboard of the valve stem. Thats where the main body of the sensor sits:
Try reversing polarity of the magnet if it doesnt work the first time. I have had to hold the magnet over the sensor for what seemed to be forever before it would reconize the sensor.
Check the DIC for DTC. If you have any in the RFA Module, clear them and see if that helps.

Use one strong magnet. Try inside the barrel by the valve stem. If still no beep, try the right front first as a trouble shooting method. Maybe the left front sensor is bad. Sometimes it's tempermental getting the sensor to activate unless the magnet is strong enough and in the correct place. If the rf works, you will need to start the sequence over again and either get the lf to program first or get it replaced and then restart so the wheels show in the right order on the display.

Mine did the same thing. The LF didn't program. I tried the RF and it programmed fine. My LF sensor had failed.
I programmed the LF using a different car, then the remaining 3 from my car. Now it shows the LF as blank and the other 3 show normally. I can live with that for a while until I get the new tires and sensors.
Just a side note: The other car (blue) is mine also and parks next to the one I was programming (pewter). I also noticed that when I drive the blue car and return. The pewter car that has the bad sensor would get the signal from the blue car and the DIC would report all four pressures for a few miles.
