Default New TPMS all report zero pressure

06, new TPMS sensors.
Programming seemed to work from the shop as they all register on the DIC but all four report zero pressure even after driving 20 minutes which was thought that that would get it to update with a real pressure reading.
Any idea what is going on? The programmer showed they were reporting a pressure at least to the programmer.

Hopefully you checked it with a tire pressure gauge. If the tires are runflats they might have forgot to air them up.

Yeah I checked that first. LOL

Went out for a drive to bed the new pads and after about 30 minutes the zero pressure indications turned to XX and the service tire monitor message appears.

I guess another shot at reprogramming is in order.

I'm missing the old days.

You could be getting interference from plugged in electronics or your cell. I used to be able to plug in certain USB chargers and make it happen, until I shielded the 12v wiring under the console area.

You need to retrain the sensors.

Take it dealership for reset, some dealerships don't even charge $$$.

Your sensors aren't reading!

Their reset did the trick.
Not sure why it did not work the first time but I guess ultimately we are at the mercy of software.

As a programmer, I take offense to that. All software issues are due to the user. I mean if nobody used the software, it wouldn't break. Am I right?

I don't think the sensors were ever programmed to the car.
