It may be the incorrect one for you truck or a bad sensor.

If you replaced the sensor, you need to have it programmed somewhere like a tire shop or the dealer. It won't just automatically learn. If you haven't changed any of them out, it is probably just a dead sensor. I work at discount tire and see this happen all the time.

Ok. Never heard of this. I went through the re-learning instructions. Guess I will have to give a tire shop a call.

Just go to a Mavis or Sears Car Center and they will "zap it". I had a dead sensor, bought a new one but then the shop hooked up a small machine and got it working in about 30 seconds. Didnt even charge me but I through him 10 bucks.......

How does this relearning/programming process work? I have a new set of SS wheels that I plan on installing soon. I would like to be informed so i don't get a screw job. Local shops seem to want around $100 per sensor so I want to buy a set on eBay. Any tips on what to buy?

Hey make sure you bought the right sensor. I was having the same issue i bought 4 sensors and had a tire shop install them. After 2 tries I was able to do the relearning process and now I am happy the sign on my dash is off..
