Help with TPMS Reset

I recently traded stock 18" for stock 20"ers...they were new takeoffs (a few hundred miles)...all but 1 of the TPMS are registering; is there a way to force a reset (ive already tried varying the amount of inflation and driving the recommend time/speed)

Also whats extra strange is that I noticed the PSI indications are reversed for the rears ( i know that by attemping to overinflate the faulty wheel and noting that the opposite wheel responded!)

Help..I cant help but feel a total TPMS system reset would help.

Thanks in advance.

Here's all the info known about the TPMS system. I hope there's a solution in there for you:

Thanks for the link...really useful, but not helpful for this set of symptoms unfortunately. I think I'll need to have the dealer reset the IDs with their WIN reset tool, in theory this should happen automagically (e.g. In the case of a tire rotation the tpms id's should reset) but isn't triggering for my case for some reason. I'll update the thread if the dealer is able to help.

Hi Jeff! Like you, I traded my 18" for 20" and I have the same problem with the TPMS.... Were you able to solve your problem? How? Thanks!

Are your 20 inch wheel TPMS sensors OEM or aftermarket? Aftermarket sensors have been notorious for causing these types of problems.

The dealer and many tire shops have TPMS reset tools. They will reset the TPMS for a price that varies. Not sure if reseting the fuse that powers the TPMS will help.

I've never had an issue, but it may take as much as 15 minutes of driving more than 25 mpg for the system to adapt to the new sensors.

I have had some that refused to reset after the wheels had been stored for a few months, Time to order new sensors, they can be found on ebay for $20 ea.
