TPMS Trigger Re-Learn Issues
Aloha fellas, me again.....
I had some issues with my car listing the left front, and right rear tire pressure being low.
I went to Tire Rack, and purchased a ATEQ VT10 TPMS Trigger, and followed the Re-Learn instructions to the "T". I got it into accessory mode, the horn honked, but when I apply the VT10 to the sidewall of the tire & hold the button down, the horn doesn't honk acknowledging that the tire is "registered".
Does anyone have any experience with these, an I doing something wrong?
Am I able to disable the tire sensors?
Thanks in advance!
Keith

I just bought my VT10 from tire rack. I hadn't used it yet but just went to the garage and followed the link below. Not the same tool but it works. I used the left button on the VT10. I placed it at the rubber on the tire next to the tire stem. I pressed and held the left button until the car chirped (took anywhere from 5 - 10 seconds holding the button at each tire). You should get a yellow TX light on the VT10 when pushing the left button.
No, you can not disable the sensors. Good luck.

Had a time till we figured out to use the instructions from the 07's.
Just had mine done. I have lifetime TPMS service from Les Schawb.
$20.95
Cheaper than buying the tool!

I use a different make TPMS tool so I know nothing about the ATEQ tool. Are your wheels and tires OEM? Certain kinds of after market wheels/tires have to mount or band the sensors in a different location (not by the valve stem). If so, maybe you're not reaching the sensor with the TPMS tool...their signal can only penetrate so far.
It may be cheaper in the short term but it doesn't sound all that convenient.
I guess it depends on how often you need to have it done. FYI, most Discount Tire stores will reset your TPS's free of charge.

Thanks for the input guys!

Keith,
This probably doesn't help, but at least it's a TTT for you...
My TPMS tool has two buttons "Test" and "Select" (it's not the model you have). I have to use the test button to get it to recognize the TPMS sensors (which is contrary to what the instructions tell me to do!!) and register them with the car.
Also, make sure you are starting with the driver's side front wheel. Oh, and hold the TPMS tool on the wheel where the schrader valve is! Hope this helps!

Yup, the car is in accessory mode, and I will try a new battery this weekend when I have time to mess with it....
Thanks again!
