The Sensors were working fine prior to me disconnecting the battery a few weeks ago when working on my TB (and the VMAX install that didn’t go well – got my money back btw, it was indeed defective). Some time in between I had my BCM (Body Control Module) replaced due to some lighting issues I was having. I wonder if the reason I can’t reprogram could have something to do with the new BCM installed? Not sure… for the life of me I can’t get the TPMS re-programmed.

The shop didn’t replace any of my sensors that I know of (there would have been a charge)… but thanks for the heads up. This will definitely be a job for the service dept.

The sensors before 2012 or '13 had 5 year batteries. Newer TPMS have 10 year batteries. Batteries are not replaceable.

Someone posted a link to the sensors about a month ago from Amazon at about half the price shops want.

No idea about the BCM.

Good to know, thanks!

Well, finally replaced the freakin tire. The car is filthy from the weather of late. Can't wait to give it a good detail this weekend. Better pics once I do.
