Default Re: TPMS Receiver Replace?

If receiver reads 2 of them...should it not read all of them??? Originally, the scanner diagnosed which one of mine was no longer sending a signal.

Unless there are newer alternative parts, (?) "genuine" equipment & procedure (not difficult) is required, (not available @ most tire shops?). This is what I recall from doing mine a few years ago. Much has been written here on this. Try search: Resetting Tire Pressure Monitor? (New to me info about new EZ Schrader valves which can be cloned to the internal code of the original valve, thereby eliminating the need to reset the car's receiver? Anyone have success w/this?)
I think they were "alternative" TPMS sensors (which were installed at my local shop), not OEM. What I don't understand is how two work but two don't... Their reader claimed that all four sensors were good, which is why they think it's the receiver.
