How do you program new TPMS sensor?

Hi, I just bought a set of TPMS senors for my aftermarket wheels and I need help with programing them. I thought if I just drove the car it would pick up the signal but the TPMS error keeps on popping up. Thanks!

As I stated in your other thread, poor, aftermarket TPMS have given people problems in the past. The best thing to do is go with OEM TPMS. If you've driven for 5 minutes, and the sensors aren't working properly, you have to return them.

Go with Acura TPMS. They'll pick up the tire psi right away.

It took a week when I went from base to TL-S wheels (different set of OEM TPMS sensors) before my car picked up the sensors. Drive around a bit and do some speed runs on the highway. On a side note. I went back to my base wheels and it tripped as well. Jumped on the highway and went for a drive and it now reads correctly and no errors.
