Hi all, I just replaced all 5 TPMS sensors with new VDO ones. The 4 on the regular wheels were scanned with an Autel 401 and relearned easily, but the spare is still unrecognized by the car. Does that require OBD relearning - or - if the spare was mounted and relearned on the road, then placed back into the trunk? Thanks!

 

Hello we had this issue on our Land Rover LR3. We replaced all 5 (including the spare tire) TPMS. I didn't do the procedure myself (my brother used an Autel Maxi) to ping all 5 sensors. He mentioned to me that the spare had to be filled at a higher pressure (per the user manual). He did do a complete relearn to match the senor to the correct tire (left front, right front etc etc ). We still were getting errors and we ended up buying a used TPMS Module off ebay and that solved the fault. The old module was not picking up the sensors.

I apologize, but I'm trying to recall the steps my brother did from our conversations.

 

Trunk tire sensor just seems to take longer

 

So the issue resolved on its own, hope this will help other owners:

New VDO sensors from rockauto for a X358 probably do not need activating out of park mode, but I did read them with a TS401 first. These will auto learn just by a few minutes of low speeds driving. The full sized spare tire will auto learn after several hundred miles in my case. I did also up the pressure to about 45psi just to try.

Thanks all!
