Resetting TPMS
Re: Resetting TPMS
So obviously the plan will be for you to remove whichever tire/wheel assembly whose sensor is not transmitting, and take the whole works to a tire savant who won't damage the tire or wheel and will use the proper tire lube (which is not liquid ruglyde or any liquid, instead, a very careful application of euro paste). With our tire machine, nothing metallic ever comes in contact with the wheel.

Do you have the proper torque wrench ? This is the one I use exclusively:

The generic $19.95 torque wrenches at Harbor Freight are not what we use.

Great. One thing we must refuse to do is take any step in the process for granted.
These are spectacular cars and lazy, sloppy, stupid, haphazard, rush sadly often times find their way into them. Letting moron millennials anywhere near them same thing. "Dude, it's a car dude."
We lost the second space shuttle crew because some moron chose to do a sloppy, careless job of attaching a small heat shield on the leading edge of a wing. "Dude, it's just a little heat shield, dude."
"Dude, torqueing lug nuts is overkill, dude."

Mackel .. There is an "expected" 10 yr life span on TPM sensor batteries.. so you can play chase the sensor for the next year or so.. or just replace all 4 .. My local dealer wanted $35 to program in new sensor ID's on my coupe (I was sent free sensors to test from a vendor.. "wrong language" per the service tech)
Probably cheaper than the "must have" torque wrench.

Need more information.. 6" or 8" as the torque "feel" will vary due to the variable!
Re: Resetting TPMS
Your posts lead nowhere, and after reading your previous posts I expected no less on this one.
This was your last post prior to this thread.
I think that explains a lot.
