Thanks a lot for this info. Which blinks exactly means the number of suspicious sensors? Two just after ignition on? So does it means I have two suspicious sensors? And what means those 3 and next 2 blinking after approx. 10 km?
In theory my sensors are Suzuki branded ones as they were packed in paper box with Suzuki logo. However on sensors I have only Continental logo. It's exactly as with the old ones.
Do you think that id might be outside some accepted range? As the old ones had ids almost one after another and the new ones seems to have more random.
I would prefer not to change them for others as it means additional costs. And I'm not into mechanics so I should also pay for replacing.
It might be one reason more. At first after tpms reset my garage activated my sensors in the incorrect order. I mean RF and LR were exchanged. I discovered it by observing what is happening through odb2 and was surprised that my left tyres had significantly higher temperature that the right ones (sure according to the computer, not in "real life"). And I would have rather expected that the front tyres would have higher temperature than the rear ones. I inflated each tyre to slightly different pressure in eco mode (higher pressure for front tyres than rear) and it only confirmed my guessing.
When I contacted the garage, they confirmed the error. They reset tpms once again and they activated the sensors in the correct order. I've checked through odb2 and it seems that they are ok. I mean the order is now ok.
However I'm wondering how it might have impact on tpms module as ids are the same but in just different order. AFAIK tmps module is determining somehow the sensors position basing on radio data. Unfortunately the story with blinking repeats. Is that possible that ex. after 10 longer drives tpms module will accept it now? The problem is that most of my drives are very short.
Or should I do sth different, ex. to add first a different set of modules for example my old ones to make tpms module to fully forget about these new sensors? And after ex. 15kms to restart tpms module once again and add again my new sensors? And will tpms module accept old sensors with zero pressure (as I would prefer not to install them on tyres)? Any other way to solve this?
Btw, how many sets of sensors tpms module is capable to remember? 4 tyres only? or 8 tyres only?
Once again thank you for help.
I have personally had sensors needing relearning after they have been learned a few times before they 'took'. I have also had the sensors seem to work fine and then need relearning. They are a bit finicky, but once they are set up, they generally work.
I can't remember now if the order of the tires matters any more. I've documented the exact procedure here in this thread, so the answer to that question is here somewhere if you read this entire thread.
The sensors only activate under 3 conditions--pressure loss of 5psi or more, rotation of 5mph or more, or by the vt55 or vt30 activation tool. The sensors will not connect to the car with zero psi unless activated by the vt-series tools, and honestly I don't think that would work with zero pressure.
The car only remembers the last 4 sensors. If you add 4 new sensors, the old 4 are gone. It would have been nice for the system to remember 8 as for those of us with a winter set of tires, we wouldn't have to relearn every season.Statistics: Posted by SamirD — Mon Mar 18, 2024 4:23 pm
