How do i reset the TPMS?

^^^ true. I should have said that. in my case no tire shops in Edmonton have it.

^ The guy at my local shop was telling me how expensive the tool is when he was doing the reset. They do a lot of business with aftermaket rims so he said he had to break down and buy one becuase customers weren't happy about being referred to the dealer for the reset.

I used another shop to get my winter tires and they said they have the tool also but I haven't made the switch to the winter set yet so we'll see if they can do the reset when the time comes. If not it's over the to the other shop to get chewed out for buying winter tires elsewhere

Tools are out there from $100 and up. This is standardized technology, nothing special......There's no excuse for a tire shop not to have this capability (in the US anyway, where TPMS is now standard on most all cars). The tool from Tirerack: http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...&AID=10398365&. I would assume, since your monitors are already "Registered" (Used ones) no trip to the dealer would be necessary (though it seems it would with new sensors)

Per the manual (think in section 5 somewhere), to reset the TPMS, you have to drive around for a while over 16 mph until it resets. First you should check the tire pressure and make sure its above 27 PSI and also ensure consistency in pressure at all 4 tires. Then drive it around. If its still doesnt go off after a couple minutes you have an issue.

I just did this an hour ago and it worked.
