Going on 4 yrs ago I replaced my tpms sensors with ACDelco # 13598771. I've never been able to relearn/program them after tire rotation until now. Purchased a VXDAS relearn tool model OEC-T3 ($10) and it worked like a camp.

I just used mine the other day and found I had to move the antenna to point to the sensor through the rubber sidewall of the tire instead of through the wheel, but it worked great!

As I just posted in the other thread, it failed several times today in heavy Sarasota, FL traffic, and went into limp home mode. Since I'm familiar with this idiotic GM "feature", I drove in the "curb lane" and pulled off the road each time it happened. We've never been so happy to get home. In 60-some years of driving, I've never had a throttle fail because the wire broke, and I'm totally in favor of returning to that ancient technology. Same with our several boat.

Mine works fine on GM or Fjord.

i don’t know why it posted the quote,
still getting used to this stuff - I didn’t add anything cuz I noticed you said you got it to work.
Wish I knew how to remove the useless threads

they make expensive ones that are more multi vehicle.
Those get really fancy; I watched a video that I think was from South Main Auto on YouTube talking about them.

For my use, I love the little cheap wand thing.
I have one like that orange thing above, iirc it was less than $10 on amazon.
Worked great for my wife's Buick, and my Tahoe.

I don't have any other vehicles that have TPMS currently, and I was glad to see my Jeep has TPMS delete as a factory option. :jester:

ETA: I think this is the video, maybe?
