Exclamation TPMS Light on "Check System" Fix!!!

Ok Finally got my Tire replaced on my wheel and put it back on my car, check system light has been on for awhile. First thing is turn on car, we have a "Main" and a "2nd" so this is what I did.....Went to "Main" then went back one and pressed the initial button until it stated tire or sensor initialed. then Went to "2nd" and went back and pressed initial button until it stated sensor or tire initialed can't remember exact statement on dashboard. Now here is the thing I did this four more times to just make sure, now my reasoning for this is my thought is we have 4 sensors so you have to initial all four sensors but initial it on both "main" and "2nd" for all the 4 times you do the initial. I then placed it in drive and sure enough the light "check system" display came off. So for all that have this problem this is the fix, I say this cause it worked for me. taking it to the dealer is not necessary just do it at least 4 times, do it more if you like "meaning initialing" but 4 I would say is the minimum. Hope this helps all.

i had the check system light problem for about 2 weeks and brought it into the dealer only for them to find that a wire behind the dash or navi (forgot which) was pinched. the wire caused the ecu to lock up and spurted out random codes. lol. all they did was unpinch the wire and reset my ecu and no more check system light

this makes me feel good my TPS light is on but my car currently has the whole radio out while it’s out for repairs.
