I hate TPMS sensors!!

[07Burb]

So since having my wheels put on it appears that all four of my TPMS sensors have gone to crap and I can't get them to sync.

Is this common for all four of them to quit at the same time?

Have you taken them to get reflashed or tried to do it on your own? I doubt they all went out at the same time.

 

[07Burb]

I've gone through the sync process as it's detailed in my owners manual about three times. The horn honks at me and everything when it's done. But yet it solves nothing

Take it by the dealer. I have not been able to get mine to sync by the owners manual.

 

[CHOO CHOO]

Could it be a dead battery?

 

[07Burb]

We drive it every day with no problem so I don't think so

07Burb,

I agree with "yates", they may just need to be re-flashed. I also encourage you to stop by your dealer.

What does it mean to "reflash" your TPMS sensors?

 

[yates ™]

With the flash tool thingie.

Maybe they refuse to work naked sans center caps.

I know I'd have a hard time work sans MY center caps

Is it possible to just shoot the damn things with a .38 and go back to taking care of tires the old-fashioned way? I get tired of all the "help" the automakers keep dumping on me.

I agree with you on this one, Steven! I'd pay money just to have the TPMS functionality disabled on my Burb. I don't need sensors telling me when my tires are low. That's what I have an air gauge for that I use anyway cuz I don't 100% trust the DIC read out anyway.

I'm having the same problem. Gonna try to hit the dealer tomorrow; I'll let you know how I make out.

I think they are mandated by some big-brother government bureaucrat.

TPMS only work with 22's guess you made a big mistake.

they worked fine with the 17's. Maybe the burb is upset with me

Definitely let me know, man

Hit up the dealer. Its free, quick and easy. Literally took 3 minutes from the time I drove in the service bay to the time I drove out. Didn't take my name, no paperwork, just pulled out the flash tool and took care of it.

and remove your seatbelts too, and your child safety seats too. Since that's what they are designed to do... keep you safe.

 

[07Burb]

There's very little safety aspect to TPMS sensors other than for people who are too lazy to check tire pressure themselves IMO....
