New wheels, tires and tpm's

[RockyF150]

I have new tpm's. How do I get them to train or learn to my system so I don't have that malfunction light on the dash? I tried the turn on 3 times brake then turn off and back on 3 times and use a magnet. That didn't do it. Could the magnet not be strong enough or am I way off and need to go to the dealer or a tire shop?

I believe you need the programmer like this...

That says its for OEM sensors. I honestly don't know what kind of sensors they installed.

Shouldn't the place that mounted everything also reset your TPMS?

If you have a old Speaker laying around take and brake the magnet off of the back. Then take and break it in half again. Now take the magnet and set it by the tire valve stem, now make sure your ingnition switch is turned on and then wait for the horn. You know that you will have to go to each wheel and wait for your horn to blow. Now you have made a $80 TPMS reset tool !!

I tried that. It won't read it.

I think the 08's used the sensors that are held on with bands. So maybe you need to move the magnet around the tire.
