I hope you'll forgive me Brian P for the hijack but since this thread has turned somewhat to the tpms subject and it is being read by almost everyone, especially the "old timers" who have a repository of knowledge; I'd like to pose a question.

My two rear sensor went dead. Verified by the very competent LKQ service folk. They advised me to buy the sensors and they would be happy to install them ($20 total). They told me I would have to get the the car to "relearn" the new sensors at the dealership as they didn't have the equipment (DRBIII). Before they installed the sensors they checked them to see if they were "activated". I guess you can buy them in the comatose state. Ok, here's the question; if I decide to go to a dealership to have these new sensors "relearned", what do I need to ask the service manager to make sure I'm not wasting my money? I've already done this with a mercedes key failure and don't want a repeat with these sensors. I know the dealership must have the DRBIII. I see some reference to a special cable. What is the list that the service department must have to do the deed?
