If all else fails, you could break the bead near the sensor and park the tires near the car to do a relearn.
Just for future info, you can do the relearn procedure without having the sensors installed in tires. It's just the order they get scanned and where you place them that makes the DIC readout correct. It'd also identify a bad sensor before ever installing in a wheel. It seems there have been a rash of bad ones sold through Amazon recently.
BTW,The flooding in TX and LA has been outrageous this year.
Thanks Tom great tips I appreciate it. I feel better now I got the fronts on and next week I'll see about getting the rears. Yes the rain here is pretty bad. People in the Acadiana and Baton Rouge area are catching hell right now.
Also make sure that you have fresh batteries in the TPMS tool...most are very sensitive to low voltage and their performance drops off significantly with batteries that are not new.
