New tire pressure sensors?

Hey all,

I've got a set of new (from the dealer) tire pressure monitors & stems (for new rims). What, if anything, need to be done to turn them on and get the car to recognize them?

I could be wrong, but go to the manual for the learning procedure. That should do it

In the manual it goes through the procedure, which is the same as rotating your tires. You have to cycle the ingnition, then deflate the LF tire by 5-10 pounds, the horn beeps and you do the RF and so on.

If they are in fact the correct TPMS for your vehicle; nothing needs to be done, except relearn the positions once you get them installed. Be careful when installing them, the aluminum nut has a torque spec of only 40 inch/lbs.
Good Luck
