If you supplied them with the OEM TPMS sensors, then I suspect whatever he did served no useful purpose. My winter tires were installed on new rims without the car even being there, and the ebay purchased OEM TPMS sensors installed at the same time.That's interesting. I had mine mounted at Costco, and the service tech programmed the car. They had some device, and he went around all four corners scanning near the wheel (saw him do it), then plugged it into the OBD (I think, as I couldn't see from the service area). Anyway, after driving for 5-6km over 40km/h then the display for the pressures showed up on the dash.
I ordered the Kia OEM part from Amazon.com. Out of the blue, I was refunded $13 for import fee deposit that was over estimated.![]()
The winter set sat on a rack in my garage for several months before being installed, and had no problem synchronizing with the car (automatically) when I finally put them on.
