2011 GS Will Not Read TPMS
 
Just swapped wheels and tires on my 2011 GS. Installed new TPMS sensors but the car will not learn the new sensors using either a Bartec 300 Plus or ATEQ VT30 reset tool.

No codes are showing on the DIC and my Tech II reveals no codes. Even disconnected the battery to ensure that the car had no codes. TPMS system now reads "0" pressure on all four wheels and I cannot get it to reset. I placed the car in Accessory mode, hit the Lock and Unlock buttons on the FOB simultaneously and got the single horn beep indicating that the car was in learn mode. However, regardless of which TPMS tool is used, the car does not beep when each wheel sensor is triggered nor does it give a double beep at the conclusion of the LR wheel.

The ATEQ and the Bartec both agree on the sensor numbers per wheel but I cannot find a device that will tell me if these are the correct sensors without dismounting a wheel to see what number is stamped on the plastic casing.

Sensor numbers are:

LF: 3329391
RF: 3329166
RR: 3329300
LR: 3329278

Do they look like the correct number sequence for the 2011 sensors (part number 15268606)? For instance, one of the wheels I took off has a sensor number 7391176.

If so, what else can I check?

Does your local GM dealer use the same aforementioned reset devices? They may have another that will work. Maybe. :D

Problem Identified
 
Unfortunately, my parts supplier, thinking that they were for my '05 Lingenfelter, sent me the gray TPMS sensors. Since I had not performed my due diligence in ensuring that they were the correct ones by color prior to installation, I can't fault my supplier or the tire installer.

It appears that I will have to have the tire shop break down the Forgeline rims tht I took off, remove the green sensors from them, take the HRE wheels off the '11 Callaway, remove the gray sensors currently installed, and install the green ones.

What a great way to spend the morning!
