Wheel / TPM Sensor Change Question
Does anyone know if the computer has to be reset if you change wheels with one set of TPM sensors to another set using different TPM sensors and then back to the originals? I know you'd have to reset the first change for the TPM system to work, but I was hoping the computer would recognize the original set after driving on the second set for a while without going through the reset process. Please let me know if you've had any experience doing this. Thanks! (I also put this in the Tech Section).

Each time you put wheels on you have to set the sensors. The car computer memory only recognizes one sensor for each wheel.
You can install the sensors in different wheels and there is no problem. If you have sensors in two different sets of wheels, each time you change them, the sensors must be set.

I will be able to chime in on this in another week with my findings. I have my track set on right now with "excited" sensors (working) and I'll be going back to my regular street (original set) next week after my track event this Saturday.
I went ahead and bought a the programming tool from forum member "beezeye" who has a few left at a fraction of the cost.
Because I will be going back and forth (with probably a 3rd set) I figure I'd go ahead and bite the bullet and buy tool.
Bob is a super nice guy to work with.
