Installed new wheels and tmps light on ?

[legend_217]

I installed the wheels like 4 days ago and I didn't see any warning light up until I drove my car on the freeway yesterday. I know for sure because my wheels don't have any censors. But why until 4 days later ? any explanation ?

either it was a delayed reaction on your car's part or it was parked for the last 4 days... dunno/ So are you asking why it took so long for it the warning light to come on?

When I put on my winter rims, my stock rims were in the back. It took only about 30 minutes of drive time for the TPMS light to come on. Once the sensors stop revolving, as in my case, the system detects it but it takes awhile because the tires were inflated properly. With no sensors near the car, the TPMS should alert very quickly. How much actual drive time did you do?
