Any way to know if I have TPMS installed without removing tires?
I am just installed some new OEM 20" wheels that I bought off ebay. They had tires installed when I got them and the owner is not sure if they have sensors or not. I tried the TPMS relearn method as described in the manual with no luck. So my question is, is there a way to tell if the TPMS are installed without removing the tires? I dont want to buy a set of TPMS and have the them installed just to find out I have TPMS installed already and waste more money. Any ideas?

If the relearn procedure did not work than you probably do not have the TPMS sensors.

That sounds right. When you clicked relearn on the DIC, did the screen change? It should say something like "30 seconds to relearn" or something similar.

Hmmm, I would maybe try it again. When releasing the air from the tire you don't want it to come out super fast. Nice and slow, I just use my fingernail to depress the pin thingy a tiny bit.

Stop by a tire shop and see if they have a TPMS scanner tool. Mine will beep and flash the lights on the tool if if senses a sensor inside the tire. It helps identify the frequency/type of sensor.

Mystery solved.. There are no sensors in the tires. I took the car down to a tire shop and they couldnt detect them. Just to make sure I had them remove one of the tires from the rim. Need to buy some sensors now
