Dealers Suck! Took the IMP in for TPMS issue,Took three days to fix that.Got the car back,Then it had radio problems,A whole week to fix that.Also forgot to give wife both new keyfobs,Another trip back.Now I'm usually relatively easy going,If you don't fool with me!Here we are two weeks later,Guess what Servive tire monitor system light back on!Now I'm pissed!Last time we got a hunk of crap vibe to drive,This time I'm thinking equal or better car!If it helps what I get is 2 dashes as the tire pressure reading for the right front,Same as last time,I thought maybe tire press monitor in the wheel was bad but they rotated the tires on the last trip,Imarked them inconspicuously as to avoid confusion,Seems like they were moved so now what?No aftermarket electronics to cause interference.
It's possible they did not do the relearn. Do you know if they did? Regardless...try that first. Page through the DIC and select "relearn tire monitors" or something like that and press the checkmark. Horn should beep. Put air in, or out, of the driver front until the horn beeps, and then go clockwise around the car. After the last one is done, it should beep a couple times. I've had to do 10psi or more in some wheels to get the system to see the difference...so make sure your at or near a pump.
If the dashes change to a different location, it's a bad sensor.

Yea def. try to do the relearn first. As Buff said it might take a little bit for it to recognize the difference in pressure. I usually have to let mine out til its down to around 22psi or so til it beeps.

Didn't know you had to manipulate the tire pressure during the relearn procedure.I tried just running the procedure and after a few minutes it chirped and if I remember right it said procedure complete.I'll try it like you guys suggest and see what happens.Thanks!
