08leggy Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I had my wheels powder coated and the shop broke one of the sensors when they were taking the wheels off. They supposedly replaced the one they broke but now my tire pressure Gage flashes for a minute or so then turns solid. Do I need to have it reset at the dealer or is there something wrong with the way they hooked back up the new sensor? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KA81 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 if the shop didnt reset, have them pay the dealer to reset the TPMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08leggy Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Does it matter if the new sensor is not made by subaru? The one that the shop replaced is from mavis tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08leggy Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 anyone on this does it need to be OEM to work with the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrant Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i don't know if other brands make a difference but a TPMS registering tool has to force the module to communicate to the ECM. this is according to Subaru's August 07 issue of the EndWrench. i am glad the 05 doesn't have TPMS. just another thing to screw up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spect2k Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 the dealer you bought it from may be willing to reset it for you as a courtesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
