We had to replace 1 TPMS sensor , on our 2015 CHEVY SONIC . Purchased the sensor at O'Reilly .

Ordered this " tool " from Amazon to re-learn the sensors . Worked 1st time . Says it works on GM vehicles .

So took the vehicle to Discount tires today, to see how the sensors read, and the 2 new ones installed yesterday don't read at all on their scanner.

Anyway, Im getting a refund on the mobiletrons , and getting new tires installed tomorrow with Different brand of sensors.

Maybe the Horror ends.

Here's to hoping!

Not trying to bag on you, but this should serve as a cautionary tale to you and others about buying cheap stuff off of the net.

I have discount tire, tpms sensors now and they work, no light. They had to manually input the serial numbers by ob2 port. light went out by a 10 minute drive.

Might have been able to do that with the mobiletrons , if were able to get 4 sensors on the vehicle at one time, that could actually be read. Discount tire price matched my mobitrons , and sent those back for refund.



But yes, a very big lessen, I broke down tires nine times replacing sensors, next time , Ill go straight for oem only.

Really the savings(persay) would have been about $30, over oem.

But the labor and torture I endured, multiple shop trips, It was a horrible experience.

Gm tech in the family. 9 out of 10 times the battery in the sensor can be replaced. Personally I just live with it.
