Does anybody know what the part number the TPSM is on the genesis coupe is and what other models hyundai uses them in? I don't want to pay an EXTRA $500-$600 on top of a new set of wheels.

It has its own light for that.

They has a special tool that they have to use to sync the sensors to the TPMS receiver. They initialize each sensor with the tool (looks like a aftermarket OBD reader) associating with which tire its mounted to and once thats done, the tool is plugged into the OBD2 diag port and then receiver calibrated.

pg 11 of the OM.

Even if you replace the low pressure
tire with the compact spare tire, the
Low Tire Pressure indicator will
remain on until the low pressure tire
is repaired and placed on the vehicle.
After you replace the low pressure
tire with the compact spare tire, the
TPMS malfunction indicator may be
illuminated after a few minutes
because the compact spare tire does
not have a sensor.
Once the low pressure tire is reinflated
to the recommended pressure
and installed on the vehicle, the
TPMS malfunction indicator and the
low tire pressure indicator will extinguish
within a few minutes.
If the indicators are not extinguished

HEY!!
i just recently had to get a new sensor when one of my techs ran over one while de-mounting a tire. Since I work at a dealer, i got a discount and only paid $53, and after i putt the new sensor on the wheel, all you have to do it drive around at least over 40 mph for a minute or so and the system will recognize it and the light will go away. I was also told I'd have to pay $100+ to have the new sensor re-programmed. Thats BS. Just drive around and the TPMS light will go away.

my first hand experience with no TPMS sensors

I bought a new set of winter tires and rims. I did not want the extra expense of buying TPMS. So I went sensorless.

The TPMS light came on after approx 3 miles. It stayed on for the duration of my one week test.
No check engine light.
The only time the traction control kicked in and reduced power was under full throttle and 60 + mph. I did not consider it to be a problem and attributed it to the extreme sipeing of the tires causing "irregular" rotation under extreme straight line accellearation.

I had no problem under normal acceleration and has no issue at high speed (80+ MPH)

After the week was over, changed back to the stock wheels/tires and the TPMS light promptly turned off.

The only issue it may cause is getting a state mandated inspection sticker. If the light is on, the tire dealer warned that I may not get the sticker. This will not be a problem for me as I do not need a new sticker until the spring.

Hope this helps

ordered mine, was $75 a piece (no dealer discount for me :p). They did try to charge me like $450 for all 4, but I called the day before to enquire about it and was quoted as before mentioned.

Benoitd1, the tpms light issue won't be an issue until you have to do IM testing, which should be 2 years from the "new vehicle" tags were registered. Any warning lights turning on usually results in a failed IM (visual inspection :p)

TPMS is controlled by a different module. It is not hooked into the engine control unit in anyway. Hyundai does have a GDS TPMS tool that plugs into the OBD2 DLC put it is reading info from a different control module. You need to register the new sensors with the control module. That would mean every time you switch out wheels and tires you would need to register the different sensors in those wheels. Four sensor IDs are all that you can store in the TPMS control module.

So the only people who can pair new TPMS sensors to the car's TPMS system are the dealers themselves?

Do they have to physically remove the sensors from the wheel to get the ID and then program that into the system?

How long does it take and will they charge for it?

What your saying is that since it can only store 4 sensor IDs is pretty much worthless to get extra 4 sensors for your aftermarket wheels

I got new tires put on the oem wheels on Monday, and now my TPMS light won't go off. Tire shop said I have to take it to the dealer since their system couldn't clear it. Their device stated that all four were 'dead' which doesn't make sense..

^I thought they were on the wheels?

Shop told me they couldn't transfer my TPMS from my olf wheels to the new because my tires were too skinny. :(

That light is ANNOYING
