New TPMS not registering
I installed a set of VDO Redi-Sensor TPMS on my 07 and the right front shoes 1 psi, the left front shows xx, the right rear shows 28 psi, and the left shows flat (0). Since it shows the flats my Speed is limited to 55 mph. I let air out and put it back in and also drove it around at 35 mph and nothing. Any ideas?

Fill the tires to 32lbs, then scan just the sensor to get a reading on them, and what pressure they are showing to start with.
Also check the serial numbers on each sensor and make sure your not getting a repeat in a serial number.

Note on my tool, I can confirm if the sensor is for a 05 to 09, or for a 10 to 13 model car as well.
If the tool is picking up the sensor fine, pressure is correct, and for the correct model year, then could be a problem in the RCDLR or it programming.
If the scan tool will not pick up the sensor and correct pressure for the correct model year, then problems with the TPMS sensors isntead.
As for TPMS sensors, I use the oem ones for my vets year , since their batteries last the longest, and pretty much trouble free to start with as well.
One last thing is you don't have a scan tool that you can take readings, then scan the TPMS in the car in the incorrect order and see if the problem follows the TPMS or The tire postions slots in the RCDLR. Hence you have one that is reading 28lbs, and if that pressure follows the TPMS leaned into say the another position, then you know that the problem is the other three TPMS sensors.
Also check the serial numbers on each sensor and make sure your not getting a repeat in a serial number.
