I finally got my new tires on. I've driven the car today for a fair amount of miles and on screen the sensors keep showing ****. Before the tires swap it only took a few minutes for the pressure measurements to show up. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks in advance

A tire swap and a rotation cause the same delay, it has to recalibrate (unless your tire shop actually happens to get all four rims back on the same corners). There are instructions in the manual and tens of posts on this forum on the procedure for the recalibration. It isn't how long or how far you drive2 but driving a certain amount of time without going under a certain minimum speed.

^^^^^^^^^^ I agree. Highway speed about 10 miles give or take.

Thanks for the responses. I'm gonna take a highway drive see if it solves my issue. I'll also check the manual out. I was worried cuz the last car I had the shop I went too ruined the tpms when they swapped out the tires. Thanks again

Installed new wheels with all new (but used) TPMS (from a GTR), I assumed I was going to have to re-calibrate these but it seemed the car worked it out itself fairly quickly for all four corners.

So I finally found the time to take my car for a long highway drive. And I'm glad to say that my sensors are working thankfully. The last thing I wanted to do was repair sensors. Thanks for all the help guys.
