2018 2500.
Recently got new aftermarket rims. The tire shop put my old TPM's in my new rims. When I picked up the truck all worked ( Of note, I had previously used another system ( not alphaobd ) too lower my tire pressure thresholds.
After driving 10 miles or so the the TPMS indicator flashed on and the passenger rear tire pressure seemingly went offline ( just a dash, no pressure).
Back to the tire shop the guy used a handheld device to "reset" things and said the batteries were getting lower on my TPMs but should work. Then drove 10 or so miles .... Same thing all over.
Took back to the tire shop and they say when they try to reset things it just errors out their "OBD system". They said I probably need to take to the dealership to get them to figure out what's wrong.
Thoughts?
Could I just need to replace that TPM?
Is there a way to reset things with my AlfaOBD and Bluetooth module (I do have a bypass cable)?
Currently everytime I start the truck I get a service tire pressure monitoring system error. The error light stays on and the passenger rear tire pressure does not report, but the tire shop says the tire pressure monitor works fine when they read it externally with a TPM handheld monitor -- so they say the TPM device itself is functioning correctly.
