🔧 What Happens During TPMS Sensor Reprogram & Replacement

1. Consultation & Diagnostic
   Certified technicians read your vehicle’s TPMS via OBD-II to identify faulty sensors and determine whether they need reprogramming or replacement.
   
   
2. Sensor Replacement (if required)
   If a sensor battery has died (~6–10 years lifespan) or the sensor is damaged, it’s replaced with a proper TPMS sensor. Small service parts (valve stem, nut, washer, seal) are also replaced to ensure a proper seal.
   
   
3. Sensor Reprogramming & Pairing
   Using a TPMS programming tool, techs reprogram the new sensor to communicate correctly with your vehicle’s onboard computer—necessary when installing new or different-brand sensors.
   
   
4. TPMS Relearn Process
   After installing, they perform a “relearn” step so the vehicle recognizes each sensor’s ID and position. This aligns the system after tire changes or rotations.
   
   
5. Final Check & Reset
   They confirm the TPMS light is off, verify sensor signals for each tire, and reset the system as needed to ensure proper function.
