TPMS issue
New wheels and rebuilt TPMS sensors. Fimiliar with the programming procedure but couldn't get the LR tire to read. Did a fob programming instead and now got the LR to read but cant get the LF and RR to read. Played with it for a few hours but couldn't get it. Using 4 stacked 1.75" diameter magnets. Wheels are deep dish if that makes a difference. Any ideas?

I don't know where you are holding the magnets, but when I did mine I read to put the magnets at the valve stem. Some recommended a magnet with a hole in it to put right around the valve stem. For me that did not work.
I put the magnet on the inside of the barrel of the wheel. It is closer to the sensor in that position than over the valve stem. It worked for me.
Good luck.

Brought the car to a reputable shop today. Tech was able to read 3 out of the 4 sensors and pull an ID code except the LR (one I was having trouble with) Concluded that the LR sensor is defective. New one on the way **fingers crossed**
