Tire Pressure Sensor

I am sure this has been posted before but I cannot find it but I am getting new wheels and I am wondering if my sensors will work.

Most wheels will accept the sensors. Some don't.

To make life easier you should mark the location of each sensor and make sure they go back to that same location so you don't have to mess with re-programming them.

Not hard, but inconvenient is a better word. You have to enter programming through the DIC and then starting with the LF tire let air out until the horn honks once. Then RF, RR, LR. After the LR programs the horn honks 3 times. Then you have to fill your tires back up to the proper PSI. The information is in the owners manual.

Much easier with the tool that dealers have.

Once you do it, the next time is easy (Dungon material). From the owner's manual (odd what you can find in it)

The TPMS matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the
engine off.
3. Press and hold the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter’s LOCK and UNLOCK buttons, at the
same time, for about five seconds to start the TPMS
learn mode. The horn sounds twice indicating the
TPMS receiver is ready and in learn mode.
4. Start with the driver side front tire. The driver side
front turn signal also comes on to indicate that
corner’s sensor is ready to be learned.
5. Remove the valve cap from the tire’s valve stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for about
eight seconds. The horn chirp, can take up to
30 seconds to sound. It chirps one time and then
all the turn signals flash one time to confirm the
sensor identification code has been matched to the
tire/wheel position.
6. The passenger side front turn signal comes on to
indicate that corner sensor is ready to be learned.
Proceed to the passenger side front tire and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.

Just did this a hr ago, when i rotated the tires on mine (2nd time so far) The first time i took it slow, and i noticed the second time (i re-read these instructions to make sure i knew what i'd be doing)that it went a lot faster with no problems .
