Why do you think you cannot use the other three????

Once I had them installed, I went to program them to the vehicle, and when i got to the third sensor, i had no response. Therefore the programming could not be completed. and none of the sensors can be registered to the vehicle. Its all or none. Test them before you install.

So.................. you replace the bad one AND use the other three with the replacement..... right???


I get it. You were doing the manual program.

Tpms scanner will allow you to check them before you install them.

Many will not allow the manual program. Just drive a mile or 2 and all should communicate. If not, get out the scanner and go to each wheel to find the defective 1.

Got mine from RockAuto about a week ago.

Called Discount tire, the manager says.... sure we can install and program them, re-balance etc.... $20 each and right now the place is dead, come on by and we will get you out of here quick.

Popped in with my 4 ACDelco sensors for the tires on the ground. The guy comes out and says you did not mention you had big mudder tires? I replied: nobody asked and I did not tell.

All went well until the kid with the programmer tried to program in the spare. Twice and was on the 3rd attempt. Had to go dig the manager out and explain that when you get to the RR tire (#4) you are done....stop, turn the key off. READ what your TPMS scanner says in the little print, it tells you what to do. Kids.

Good to go.
