Hey guys,
I've been having TPMS issues with my 2012 Tesla Model S. I tried a bunch of aftermarket TPMS and it never worked, so I bought 4 brand new OEM TPMS from someone. I got them installed today, and thought I would have to drive the car a bit to re-learn the TPMS.
However, when I went back to my own mechanic (had to change wheels also) he said that his waking up tool can sense 3 of the 4 TPMS, but he cannot wake the 4th one up. So either it's a bad TPMS or not programmed or something. It's frustrating as I have been going back to this tire shop forever to deal with this. I would have assumed if it was defective they would have told me before installing, as then I could easily exchange it rather than using it and taking it out, etc.
Should I try driving it around a bit or if 3/4 sensors can be sensed and not the 4th should I go back to the tire place? Any way for me to try to wake it up? I assume it just hasn't been woken up rather than it being bad but who knows at this point. Any suggestions or similar experiences that you can share?
Thanks
