Bartech trackside tpms tool

I put the car in learn mode and was able to set the front 2 tires in about 30 seconds total but i cant get the rear monitors to register. I have 20 x 13 rear wheels with 345 25 20's im sure thats part of the problem but does anyone have any tricks to get the rears to register ?

Try pointing the tool in different places. If the fronts took the tool is good. If you have the same sensors in the front and rear it sounds like you may have an issue with the tool "talking" to the sensor. Try pointing the tool through the side of the tire near the sensors. I would also start all over light you hadn't calibrated the sensors in front as I believe you need to go in order (LF, RF, RR, LR).

I figured out the problem. 2 months ago i had the rr valvestem fall come apart so the sensor was bouncing around inside the tire. The tire place who didnt tighten it right the first time put it back together but the sensor must have went bad from tumbling around the wheel. When i went lf,rf,lr,rr the lr registers but when i went lf,rf,rr,lr the tool wouldnt work right after i went to the rr. Thank you for your help. When you get a chance can you give the measurement on the 14" rear stop tech rotors you have on your car. The measurement i need is from the outside surface of the caliper where the pad rides out to the surface the wheel sits against. I just need to see if its close to .625 thank you

I'm not sure what measurement you're asking for. Can you try to explain it a bit better?

If you butt the end of your tape measure into the outside surface of the rotor, by the outside surface i mean the surface that the brake pad is clamping down on, just place the end of the tape measure there and look straight down to where the wheel sits against the hat of the rotor i need that distance. Any by the way did you notice any brake biasing problems with 4 piston calipers front and rear. One person i talked to claims that with the same calipers front and rear the rear brakes will instantly lock up activating the anti locks causeing the fronts to not work either. Im just wondering what experiance you have had soo far under hard braking conditions
