    okay will try but what about that it blinks now? Even when I put the key in “on” it will blink several times then stay solid and the TPMS screen will say calibrating please wait

    I tried it. I put the truck to on waited for the light to stop blinking and stay on. Pushed the button 3x it flashed and stayed on, turned off the truck and started the engine and it flashed until it stayed on waited and drove and nothing. Gonna disconnect the battery lol

    I still need to do this. The aftermarket TPMS are calibrated to my factory vin verified TPMS part number, but the mobile tire installer couldn't do his magic with the TPMS calibrating since my engine was apart and battery out at the time. Just been driving around with that light on

    Well for me I went to another discount told me it was fine, went to the dealer my dude told me take it back to sams discount and make them make it right that they either hit a sensor, damaged it or didn’t “marry it” to my truck. Went back to the same discount they looked at the one they did rebuild but it was OEM so no issues turned out to be the front passenger sensor they replaced it with another and if it didn’t work they would order a OEM one but luckily as soon as they put in the other sensor in the front passenger boom fixed! So I am all good

    Separate, but related question, has anyone rotated their spare in with the other tires? I do not believe the spare includes a TPMS and I was wondering how you guys might have worked around that, if at all?

    I'm having an issue where the sensors are reading backwards. I keep my front tires at 45 PSI and the rear at 50 psi. I have a new Alpine radio that can see the tire pressures, and it shows it backwards. I took it in to discount tire and they tried to reset with their calibration machine with no luck. I tried the reset button under the dash with no luck as well. Has anybody run into this?

    On my 2020, mine were reading in opposite corners diagonally after a tire rotation on my head unit, the dash, and my SG. I reset it with no luck. I ended up using my TS508 to correct it.

    If it came from the dealer like that then the dealer added it, that is not stock

    That looks similar to the tool they tried using. I'm gonna drive it around for a while and see if it relearns. If not, guess it's off to discount again...

    Just want to share my experience with aftermarket TPMS having this issue. To start, I do have a TPMS programmer with aftermarket TPMS. I was having the same issue where I programmed the TPMS and the re-calibration in progress seemed to be stuck with the flashing orange TPMS light. I drove over 100 miles and the re-calibration status never went away nor did the warning light. So today I tried a different approach. Instead of programming the TPMS with the old sensor codes, I programed the TPMS with new codes then proceeded with the relearn process. After driving for about 30 seconds the light went away and they seem to be functioning. So for anyone in this situation that has or doesn't have the tool, it seems to me when using aftermarket TPMS you should be programing them with new codes and not pulling the old codes out of the ECU. Just my .02.
