When rotating tires on a vehicle equipped with TPMS Technician A says that the sensors will be automatically relearned after driving a few miles. Technician B says that the sensor positions should be relearned, using a scan tool, before returning the vehicle to the customer. Who is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because, in most cases, when tires are rotated on a vehicle equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), the positions of the sensors need to be updated in the vehicle's system to accurately reflect their new locations. This process often requires a scan tool or a specific relearning procedure, as simply driving the vehicle may not automatically update the sensor positions in the system.
