TPMS reset issues

[jaxcam02]

I've read a few articles on this site about TPMS sensors so please bear with me as I haven't seen anything like this mentioned.

I have the correct sensors, the correct reset tool but I can't get my new wheels with the sensors in them to get recognized. 

I tested the sensor relearn tool on my OEM tires and it worked fine.

Is there something I'm supposed to do to activate the sensors?

I find it hard to imagine that I was sent 4 malfunctioning sensors.

Did you try this?

I used the same procedure on the new wheels that I used with my OEM wheels and it works with my OEM wheels.

 

Put truck in relearn mode then used the relearn tool. Got a honk with OEM wheels, got none with new wheels.

 

Do I need to increase or decrease the PSI to activate the new sensors?

If  the TPMS sensors are new to the vehicle they have to be programed not reset.

Ok gotcha. I have the truck going in for warranty and have the dealership do that for me I guess. I was worried they shipped the wrong sensors or something. Last thing I want to do is take the tires off.

Really, I wasn't aware of this, I've switched out several sets of oem tires wheels packages between several different trucks , from one truck to another. All I've ever had to do is use the VXdas tpms tool.

When you are trying this are the old tires close to the vehicle? You must get those far from the truck. Move them and try again. It should work out then.
