Tire Sensor Training Question Inside- Magnet
What kind of magnet did you use? How big and where did you get it? Thanks in advance!

I've seen old speaker magnets (donut shaped) used. If you can find a horse shoe shaped one which will clear the valve stem that may work too.

I purchased mine from Radio Shack. Was donut shaped and included 5 in the package for around $2.00. I left all 5 stuck together and had no problem with the sensor relearn!

Re: Tire Sensor Training Question Inside- Magnet (SvenOdin)
I just relearned my sensors I bought on the forum and used an $8.00 magnet I got at Ace Hardware. It's capable of lifting 100 lbs. Put the magnet on the INSIDE of the rim under the sensor - it will be quicker. I tried a 5.25" speaker but it wasn't strong enough, plus the magnet I bought was a bit easier to handle.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Remember you can do the training of the sensors before you install them on the wheels. Just make sure you don't get them out of order when you do install them.

Re: Tire Sensor Training Question Inside- Magnet (NEED FOR SPEED)
Just found a medium sized magnet at the local Bed Bath & Beyond. Think it was a magnetic hook or something. Just make sure what ever you get is pretty powerful. Does not need to lift the car off the ground <g>, but get something powerful.
I recall a story on here about a guy that used a magnet so strong it attached to his rotor and he could not get it off.

Here you go buddy!!
Tire sensor relearn
used one from my fish tank. (ued to clean the glass). here is how:Tire Pressure Sensor Calibration Procedure:
1. Mount all four wheels/tires on vehicle and torque to specifications.
Place vehicle on the ground.
2. Turn ignition to ON position.
3. Press the DIC RESET button to clear any warning messages.
4. Press the DIC OPTIONS button until the display goes blank.
5. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
6. Press the DIC OPTIONS button again until the "TIRE TRAINING"
message appears.
7. Press the DIC RESET button until the message,
"LEARN L FRONT TIRE" appears.
8. Hold the magnet over the pressure sensor's location on the LEFT FRONT
wheel (this should be next to the valve stem if installed correctly).
9. When the horn beeps, programming is complete for that wheel.
10. Program the other 3 wheel sensors as directed by the message display.
The sequence is as follows: Left Front, Right Front, Right Rear, Left Rear
