I’m confused why something is needed. On my Ford I can just “reset” the TPMS after switching wheels from the main computer. I had to do it once because the shop forgot to do it.
Why do you need a whole single thing to do it?
- chiph 4y agoSome cars will auto-learn a new sensor just by driving a mile or so (the Hondas I have had). Others require programming. Why don't all car makers specify the auto-learning ones? No idea. Cost maybe. The current SUV can be programmed to know 2 sets of five (for summer + winter sets), and you change between them via a switch under the steering wheel. It's common for new owners to get TPMS system errors because the switch got pushed by accident.

- loeg 4y agoLike the sibling commenter said, some cars just don't do it automatically (mine included).
