Default Initializing TPMS sensors

Hello all, I've been trying to get the TPMS "Check System" and low tire pressure light off by initializing the sensors. I've switched the tires to the "Main" option and held the On/Off button down on the "Initial" screen. My question is how long should I have to hold the button down? From what I've read, the low tire pressure symbol should blink 3 times when the process is complete, but the symbol never blinked for me. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for the help.

Maybe one of your TPMS stopped working already so you might need a replacement, or if you got different wheels with sensors inside I highly recommend going to Americas Tire to get them programmed. It's free, I just got it done yesterday.

OP, just in case you didn't know, Americas Tire is Discount tire. Just in some places (like CA) it is called Americas Tire.

It sounds like one of your TPMS stopped working, wouldn't hurt to have them check it.
