I replaced one of my TPS today (rt rear) and should of checked it prior to mounting it....I didn't....now mounted it doesn't program with the DIC using a magnet, I get the left front ok then the rt front ok then the rt rear doesn't program, was there anything I should have done to the TPS before mounting? The TPS is a Schrader #28006 that I got thru Amazon new....is it not the correct one or? Thanks for any help....Fred

What year is your car? What year does the Schrader replace? That would be a starting point. 01-04 sensors are different from prior sensors.

Went to Discount Tire....they used their round magnet....it worked! all set, my angle type welding magnet apparently wasn't strong enough, yes it worked on 3 out of 4 sensors but the new Schrader needed that one Discount used, also they did it for free! Thanks Discount Tire! Fred
