Thanks, but that didn't work on mine. I have the same sensors that the two guy's I quoted have. (ones from WSI) Need to find out what they did.

I followed the steps and got it working. I didn't have to wake them up.

Well, I just tried - let air out for 2 minutes, there was about 30lbs or less left .... nothing, not a chirp or a squeek from the horn ... this is extremely frustrating. I've left a voice mail with Sean, this has to be resolved, I want to buy the GM tool anyway but want to be sure it will work before spending the cash.

i put new wheels and tires on my 2012, and tried the manual relearn method, but it didnt work. so i swung by the dealer, and it took them all of two minutes to relearn the tpms locations at no cost.

Bad news, I was told my sensors are bad. I went to three different Co's and did everything they (Oratek) wanted me to try to "wake" the sensors. No such luck. I have texted Sean to get new ones. I just can't believe there is this many issues with $6000 wheels!
One side note: I know Sean is aggravated with me and my whole situation and though I feel I am the one who has gone thru hell in this whole ordeal. Sean and WSI are sticking in there and fixing ALL the issues I have had one by one.

Just an FYI from an earlier question, it is confirmed that the process follows the car, not the sensors.

i was able to program 2012 rims/sensors with my early 11 using the non-relearn tool method as called out in my manual.

Has anyone had any luck with being able to get these Junk (Oratek) Sensors to work? I have went to FOUR Companies trying everything that was detailed from Oratek to do. They will not sync with my car. They are the 315 MHZ that I need, but they just wont sync.This is getting expensive! And even worst it's aggravating to spend this kind of money on Custom wheels and have to go thru this. I am worried about damage to my wheels and car from all of this.
Also, I was also told that in order to replace the sensors the tires would need to be broke down and that can cause leaks on the low profile tires (25 & 30 series)? Any truth to that? This will be the THIRD mount and dismount! So it is a concern for me.
Thanks for any and all input fellas.

I started a new thread on the Ora-Tek sensors.
