Bluetooth TPMS

[xallenx1]

So, for about a week, my driver side rear wheel TPMS has not been registering. I thought it was a defective TPMS. But yesterday, I rotated the tires. I now have the rear driver side wheel to the front and just noticed that it now shows up in the car. I drove 4 hours today and was hoping it would re-calibrate. But nope, the rear driver side wheel is still not registering. How does the Bluetooth TPMS communicate with the car. Are there separate sensors around the wheel well? Thanks!

I have similar questions. I recently swapped wheels from a 2020 MY to my 2021 MY and even though i'm pretty sure they are the same BLE sensors, the car doesn't recognize them. I'm assuming it's because they were previously "registered" to a diff ecu. Of course no tire shops around me have a tool to diagnose BLE sensors. So now I'm stuck with taking it to Tesla ($215/hr diagnostic) or buying new sensors off ebay and hoping that they work after paying a tire shop to install them.

This is kind of ridiculous. I've spent a week trying to figure out how these things work, and I'm no closer to a solution. I see I can subscribe to tesla toolbox for $165/day which I assume would let me reset/assign the TPMS because this is what Tesla uses?? If anyone can confirm or have another solution that would be great.

Unfortunately, I don't have the answer for you. The sensors typically will sync after driving several miles.
If you end up going down the new sensors route, message me. I'll offer you a very good deal for a set of OEM sensors to help you out!

Have you changed the pressure? I.e. up it by 5-10 PSI take a steady drive and see if the new pressure is calibrated. If not, I’d suggest a flat TPMS battery.

I'll try that next. I just deflated one to 9psi while jacked up. Spun it by hand for a while with Tireless on. Nothing. Drove it..still nothing.

Shame. My guess is a flat battery. Not hugely expensive to replace but is normally a tyre off job and then rebalancing etc so all adds up.

A shout out to Danny "MODEL+"...when we purchased our snow tires last September/October he sold us our set. Absolutely LOVE them (if you can love TPMS sensors..hehehe). Great person to work with and they are way cheaper than purchasing directly from Tesla.
