Hi all, very much hoping the brains here can figure this out for me…
Long story short, I cannot get new Dill 5003 sensors to work on my 2012 Ram 1500 ST (no EVIC).
Long story long, this started with a tire change at Costco in January. No low tire light prior to new tires. Costco puts on new tires, I then had the 60 seconds flashing, then solid low tire light on startup. Took it back, they said I needed new sensors. I didn’t argue, they were original, so 14 years old, so I said yes. They proceeded to put in Dill 5001s. They used an ATEQ VT56 and programmed them as ‘2012 Ram 1500’. They could not, however, upload anything to the OBD port. When they did, it read ‘OVD fail’. Did the manual drive, the light did not budge. Took it back, they quickly released air from all 4 tires, then back up to 40psi, then let the truck sit for 15 minutes, then I drove for 20 mins over 25mph. No change.
Took it back, swapped out the Dill 5001 for Dill 5003. Using their ATEQ VT56, they programmed them as ‘2012 ram 1500’. In the ATEQ, I saw there was no differentiation between high-line and low-line. Again, the OBD fail popped up when connecting to the port. Did the drive relearn, no dice.
I then read that the OBD fail was happening because there is nothing to write to TPMSwise through the port, that all the info is save in the Wireless Control Module. I then read the only way to clear the old sensors out of the WCM was to disconnect the battery for 15 minutes. So I went back, did the battery DC, then had them reprogram all sensors on the truck, verify them, then I did the drive relearn. No dice.
Then I read, because my truck was low-line (WCM controlled) no EVIC, the ATEQ VT56 only programs high-line for 2012, so I need to have them program as 2010 or 2009 ram 1500. I had them program as “2009 ram 1500 433mhz” because I saw that selection in the ATEQ. I then let the truck sit off for 30 minutes to clear the low tire light out of the gauge cluster (no EVIC means I can’t use a scanner to clear it because there’s no tire info on the computer). I did the drive relearn annnnd… no dice.
Now AI is telling me to try 2012 dodge grand caravan programming, because it’s the same year and there is no high-line for the caravan, only low line. I haven’t done this yet.
Thank you for reading this far and I sincerely hope you have some ideas for me.
