I wasn't going to do it, but I did, now I may have a problem, and not sure how to approach it.
I had my tires replaced, but not the tpms sensors. Then the sensors went bad, so I drove for the past 10k with the warning light on.
Too long a story to tell, but I had an opportunity to have the sensors replaced at cost (no labor). However, they will not "learn" and reset. I have driven around 30 miles in the "learning" mode. When I push the lever to read pressure: 1) I get a reading for the right two tires only; 2) it reads 31, 36 when cold and after driving, so that seems wrong too (pressure should increase).
So, I could have faulty tire sensors even though they are new, but that seems unlikely. My question: There must be a sister sensor in the dash or cpu that gets the signal from the tire sensors. Has anyone had an experience with that unit going bad?
Or, maybe some one can suggest a trick to get the system to recalibrate. The system has not been "on" for about two years, so maybe I need to go to my indy shop (not where the sensors were installed) to have the cpu reset in some way.
p.s. the tire shop that installed them is very reputable and recommended by my local PCA, so I feel pretty good about the installation, even thought the unit(s) could be bad.
