Reset TPMS after new TPMS sensor installed

[Gyrobob]

The existing TPMS sensors were moved from the stock Uberturbines to the Gemini wheels just installed on my 2020 MYP. The sensor on the left rear does not work. I just received a new TPMS sensor from Tesla. ($101.65) See the pics. Replacing the broken sensor with the new one, physically, should be easy. I can't find out how to get it into the system electronically. All MYP TPMS sensors are bluetooth. I can't see anywhere in the owner's manual how to install a replaced sensor into the system. It might be as simple as doing a press-both-thumbwheels-until-the-screen-goes-black reboot of the system, but I don't see that mentioned anywhere either. Where is this procedure explained? Thanks.

Shouldn't be needed. They are plug and play, the car should auto-detect after a short drive. Once the new sensor is in, you're good. It's nice how easy they made it.

Also, if one sensor doesn't work after being swapped, it sounds like the shop might be at fault for the failure?

Maybe you should use the re-set tire funtion, by changing the tire size hich will re-boot the car display.
Note: You will need to do it twice to get back the original tire size.

These bluetooth TPMS should be auto-sync to the car. If it doesn't after driving several miles or an extended period of time. The battery may be gone on them...

Much ado about nothing, it turns out. I put the replacement TPMS sensor in my pocket and drove to the tire place to have it installed. On the way, there was an alert that said, "PULL OVER SAFELY" "a tire has very low pressure" "check for a flat tire" Cool, eh? the sensor had already installed itself when it was in my pocket.

Which tire did it think was low?

The one in his pocket.

Bart 404 said "Which tire did it think was low?"

Apparently the system knew the LR sensor was bad or otherwise had no signal, so the tire pressure presentation on the service screen showed the LR tire to have 0 PSI.
