TPS reset problem

2003 Coupe--My right front tire pressure shows low pressure--23 lbs even after I have put 35 lbs in the tire. How do I reset the sensor on the right front tire ????

Thanks,

did you drive the car after putting the air in. i found out the hard way that the TPMS will not reset until it has had several revolutions.

If you have not done so, Check the pressure in all the tires. The sensors may not be programmed to the correct wheels?

Resetting the sensor doesn't change the pressure readings, it only programs to the correct wheel in the right order. As stated, check the other tires, one will probably read the 23 lbs because someone either moved them to the wrong position or didn't program properly. And lower the one you raised to 35 back down to 30 cold.

I also have problems with TPM

I had a flat on the right rear and the DIC said it was the left rear. Discount Tir fixed it (a nail) and now it reads it has a flat ( but it doens't) I realize that the wheels were movd when I recently bought the Michelins and I am going to reset the sensors (retrain) but how do I reset to make it understand it is not flat. I have driven it may be 60 miles since flat was fixed.

Thanks for you help.

TPM reset problem

Discount tire reset the sensors, using a circular magnet and the instructions I downloaded from the internet, their other device for Chevrolets didn't do it. The sensor registered the tire pressure immediately. Then they ordered a circular magnet for me. $16.84 with Texas state sales tax.
Thanks for all the advice.
