Chris, I have tried setting mine but you just cant do it. Take it to a tire store and they will do it cheap. Should be free or less than $20 anyways. All they do is take this little thing around to each wheel and push a button. Takes about 2-3 minutes. Way better than doing it yourself. By the way Chris-do you have any junk sensors laying around. I bought new wheels and just want to see if they will fit the rims before I buy any.

Then you will still have that pesky flat tire light on.

cool, thanks for the tip and yes I have them somewhere? I also think that they lay flat against the wheel with the black/flat side down?

This spring I'm going to work on them. And see if they need any work. . Should be easy enough to do. But not till it warms up back home.

The mechanic who rotated the tires re-set the system for me. You can't do it from the Driver Info Center. The whole system is a pain in the neck if you ask me - why can't drivers take the responsibility of checking the tires visually and with their own gauge if they look low???

Jerry. If thats all there is too it. It will take longer to take the wheels off & on then to reset them. So at the sametime you can clean the inside of the wheels at the same time. Sounds like a good saturday project too me. That and a few Bud lites. Angie you reading this? ha ha ha ha You could do this yourself Angie. When the weather gets a tad warmmer...

Lol welcome back Ashley. I wondered when you'd be back since you went quiet on facebook. Course I don't know if you have an app or whatnot so it may not be as easy as it is for me. I rarely get on facebook from my computer anymore. I either use my blackberry or my tablet. I was messaging you from my blackberry .

Watching the football game now.

you can do it manually. Check your manual. It a PITA. Have to let air out or put air in, then horn will beep, move to next weheel, problem is, you only have like 30 seconds to get it to chirp, if not you haev to start all over. I tried this on my Mom's and finally gave up. Tier Barn didn't charge her anything to do it.
