So had a local tire dealer switch the eight tires for $40 real smart huh ? now I have wife's car with tires and sensors ten years old and 5100 miles worn great until last week TMS light comes on in error (all tires have correct pressure) and I figure alright its time again to replace since they are ten years gone except this time I go to Sam's Club (Wal-Mart) to replace and program 4 new sensors for $176 total they assured me they could do it, even though I questioned them several times relating problems learned from the forum today they installed the third set of sensors (which used a different frequency) and the trouble light is still on the first set was supposedly OEM for crossfires didn't work second set "all purpose" didn't work either so we are going to drive around for a while with this third set and see if it " resets " itself


Now back to my 2005 SRT (odometer 5100 mi) with tires having 19,000 mi and one year old sensors had no problems during my appx 200 mile addition exercising it the pass year so I decided to check
and make sure the TMS were functioning ok sure enough when I let air from one of the tires, it
correctly registered and lit up however the TMS light will now not go off after correcting the pressure
Cost $120 for the Chrysler dealer who had installed these TMS on these rims about a year ago to reprogram them to the SRT drove away from the dealer and within 5 miles the light was back on
Monday its going back to the dealer to keep until its fixed


For those of you still with me after this epistle thank you any ideas?
This thread will help you know when the Sams Club guy says "we can do a Crossfire" can really do a Crossfire. The only known device that can put the cars computer into train mode is the DRBIII tool. Maybe even have them read it first before they decide they can do a Crossfire.

This thread will give you the only known aftermarket sensors that work on the Crossfire...
