If you get a set of aftermarket wheels with TPMS, does anything with the sensors need to be programmed? The TPMS light doesn't go out even after resetting it a couple times. The installer said the dealer needed to program the new sensors. Wondering if there is any truth to this or maybe I just have a faulty sensor on one of the wheels.

Thanks

 

hmm, sounds like maybe a bad sensor? I had no problems with mine when i got new ones for my aftermarket wheels. Obvious question, did you check your air pressure to spec?

I got aftermarket wheels and they just took the sensors I had and moved them over, along with the tires. I had no issues whatsoever. But my TPMS goes through my factory NAV, so maybe that made a difference?

 

Tire pressure is good so I'm beginning to think I have a bad TPMS sensor. So those of you that have bought aftermarket wheels with TPMS, you just put the wheels on, reset the TPMS, and were good to go?

 

Yes.

 

The installer is full of it.. nothing to reprogram at the sensor.
