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
 
^Yeah, but with my CEL right next to it I'm learning to ignore it too. ;)
 
rspectx and I havent had any problems going from OEM to OEM :dunno:, havent tried new tires and/or wheels yet though, anybody local, if you're a member of Hyper you get a discount at my parts department, there's an account set up through Hyundai, I got SimpleOne's extra sensors for about $200, I think, don't remember lol

You and rspectx swapped wheels right? Didn't swap sensors or anything? If it was just a wheel swap than rwdsnail is right: The system should auto recognize oem sensors when driving over a certain mph.
 
K, now I'm semi-confused. I'm buying a 2.0T Premium very shortly and want to switch out the OEM 18" wheels with OEM 19" wheels. Realizing that the TPMS sensors in the 18s are in sync with the car's computer, I was hoping to just take them out and put them in the 19s.

Is this possible?

That will work just fine - when I got new aftermarket wheels I just had the tire shop transfer the sensors to the new wheels. I had no problems whatsoever.
