TPMS - Sensor Replacement

[bimjim]

The batteries in my TPMS sensors are dead so I've ordered some replacements.

Does anyone know what the procedure is to get these talking to the car? Will I need to go to dealer or will it just 'learn' nearby sensors?

I suspect the former but hope for the latter.

What Porsche is it? on the gen 2 997 and gen2 Cayman/Boxster then you change the batteries and then go into the TPMS setting and set it to re-learn

It's an old Cayenne, I'm told the sensor batteries can't be changed.

There is a setting up procedure, I found mine in the hand book . The car learns from the travelling of the wheel can take a few miles before it calibrates itself. No need for a trip to dealers

Sounds straightforward to re-learn then, I'll give that it go.

Cheers.

I got my replacements from here - http://www.rlauto.com/TPMS/. They have the valves available too and everything was delivered the following day.

Alternatively, you can get the official Beru ones direct from the US via TireRack, which is cheaper... See here Pistonheads

New sensors should just be picked up by the car, but mine needed to be reset by OPC.
