Hey ATX SRT-6!

Please share details about which clone type TPMS sensors Discount Tire set up for you! I am collecting knowledge about how to keep our TPMS systems working. The big issue is getting the car side of the system to relearn new wheel sensor IDs. As you know, the only (known and shared) way to get the system into relearn mode requires a DRB III scan tool plus Daimler-speaking multiplexer box plus Crossfire software card. Which were not universal at Chrysler dealerships even back in 2007, when they were superseded by new diagnostic equipment.

I bought new tires a few weeks ago at my Detroit area Discount Tire, and asked them to replace TPMS sensors. The light had come on a couple weeks earlier and dead battery was the greatly likely cause. At first they said "no problem," even though I told them it wouldn't be that simple. Then they checked more, and said they didn't have the correct sensors, and that I would have to go to the Chrysler dealership.

So particularly if you have those sensors outside tires: what brand and model did they use to clone yours? Another level of detail would be: what tool did they use to clone / program those new sensors? And when you get to see the old sensors: can you read ID codes (an 8 character hexadecimal string) on the sensor labels? Some cloning systems can take manual ID input, in case the battery is really dead.

Thanks!
Clint
