Not sure on the newer vehicles. But you can just let some air out to trigger the TPMS sensors and they’ll start transmitting. I put my 2008 equinox in learn mode and just take a tire chuck and go around to each tire
Once you trigger the reset process, the turn signal light on each corner of the vehicle lights up to tell you where to start the programming. It was actually doing that as you were walking around the truck.
This tool's main purpose is to create the connection between the TPMS sensors to the car's computer. So when you get new sensors they may not automatically connect to the car's computer or if you rotate your tires the car may not realize new location. The relearn tool relearns the connection. If it is the same TPMS sensor in the tire, it may be that the battery in the TPMS has died and you need a new sensor. I don't think the relearn tool would help in your situation.
I installed a second set of TPMS for my seasonal tires and wheels, have the tool but it doesn't respond during relearn. Is there a way to wake up the sensor without taking the tire apart again?
I don't think the TPMS go to sleep, unless the batteries die. It may be possible that the tpms in your other wheels are connected and causing interference with the new ones. Have you tried far from where the other wheels are?
@@juanchoman9824 I took it to a tire shop that tested it with 4 different TPMS machines and none of them could read the signal. Tire guy said either a compatibility issue with the machines and the type of sensor, or nothing other than defunct sensors. I got a refund for the sensors but they're still in my car. Shit happens. Next time i do a tire mount I'll takea closer look.
Will this tool work if the tire sensor is actually defective beyond being able to reset? Reason I ask is it worked 1st time. Message came back in 45 miles later and can’t get the tool to reset same tire again..,
If it's old.. the batteries do run out eventually. You'll likely need to get another one mounted in your tire--- and then use your tool to reset the new one.
@@calholli vehicle is 2008. I am sure batteries are done. Wished there was a way to eliminate the alarm. As I operate my tire pressure gauge all the time. Old school. Ridiculous sensors
@@daveholte7658 There is, you just have to invest in a scan tool. Launch x431 variant, xtool d8, topdon, thinktool pro, autel. There are a lot of options these days, that are well worth it
@@flyonawall6521 correct the rims are not stock, although the vehicle previously belonged to my son, and yes, the sensors were put in the new wheels, although that is a very important point that you brought up and thank you

Nope not anymore
@@afterthestorm221yeah I’ve found that out. Such a pain for something that is supposed to be a convenience

It worked on my 2014 impala👍🏾
Can you tell you if you have a bad sensor?
Great very easy better than deflating the tires thanks 👍🏼
It definitely works. I have that same one for my chevy tahoe..took less than 5 mins
Question if a tire is plugged and tire pressure isn’t showing up. Do you think this reset would work?

@@lowleveltrim1819 okay thank you for the reply!
Will this work on a 2011 camry

@@lowleveltrim1819 They're about 10ft away. I'll take your advice and try it out further away. Thanks
Did it work ?

If one of the tire sensor is bad then that one wont make a sound when you reset them.
Trying to do mine now, the first tire won’t do anything. I’m thinking it’s bad. Would I be able to skip it and do the others?
Not sure why it is not working on my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado
Do you have stock rims on your truck? If you don't maybe the previous owner did not install TPMS sensors on the rims?
