I just put on my spring wheels with a new set of TPMS sensors on them. Do you guys have any reccomendations on where I can take it to get reprogrammed? I want to try to avoid the stealership. Thanks in advance.

 

any tire shop should be able to do it

 

My tire shop couldn't do it. I also tried Firestone and they couldn't do it either.

I ended up doing it at my dealership for $47 dollars.

 

$47 is a steal ... closest mitsu dealer wanted $150 for me

 

i hate tpms, totally unnecessary PIA! the most recent fords i've purchased for my company came with a tpms "calibration tool." so i guess ford people dont have to pay their dealership to calibrate? if so thats bogus.

then our know-it-all mechanic busted the sensor taking the wheels off after i explain what tpms was...."oh yeah tpms yeah what ever," then i see him standing there with the broken sensor, i'm sure he meant to do that.

 

Once they are caibrated, do you have to do it again if you go back to the original set of wheels?

 

from what i understand, you don't if you switch sensors between wheels right away and put them on the car.

 

Have different sensors on each set of wheels (winter set and summer set).

 

Wal-Mart can do it for $20.

 

yes wal-mart

 

you need to calibrate betweens sets each time.

 

walmart? here its about $100 from the dealership as well. if it was only $47 at your dealership i say just go there.

 

walmart CANNOT do it ... at least when I went to my local walmart they couldn't

the reason being ... the can reset normal average TPMS ... apparently Evo X TPMS needs to be reset at the computer not the sensor itself (which is what walmart is capable of)

 

called the stealership they want $47 and they said it'd take 30 mins....theres gotta be an easier way are you telling me i have to pay $50 every year to swap my wheels from winter to summer and also again if i wanna swap to my track wheels. This is garbage!

 

^completely agree. mine fail so much at life that i was losing air while driving and then got a flat and the damn sensor didnt go off till i was rolling with no air in the tire.
