Tpms

[jorge332655]

I have a 2004 Explorer just bought it about a week ago. Im having a problem with the TPMS light it just stays on. Tire pressure is fine on all the tires. And I dont think that year came with a TMPS on the spare tire. I found a reset procedure on the site so I have that a try. Not sure if im doing it correctly though. This is what I did.
Turn the key off to run 3 times press the brake
Turn the key off to run 3 times and the horn beeps and the tmps light blinks. So far so good im in learning mode. I go to the first tire front drivers side. Up put the magnet on the valve stem. The horn beeps once so that one is reconized. I then move to the front right tire put on the magnet and nothing happens. Does that mean that that sensor is the bad one? Or did I miss a step after I programed the first wheel? Also do I have to replace that sensor to test the rest of them or is there a way to bypass that wheel to test the rest of the sensors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

the sensor is bad, first drive the car and then try programing. to be certain.

Thats what I figured. Is there a way to skip that sensor and check the other ones so I can fix all of them at the same time. That rim has a new tire so i think it was damaged when they changed the tire.

just dont follow the pattern start at any wheel.

the horn should still beep if the sensor is good.
