Finally got my Work Wheels on but...
So I got my wheels on and the TPMS sensors were transferred from the factory wheels but I've driven about 50 miles and it won't give me a reading on the dash. Currently displaying the --- on all 4 corners. No TPMS light or anything. I did the reset procedure by going into the Menu and resetting it but still no reading. Am I missing something here? I'm under the impression that a reprogram is not needed if you transfer the sensors.

Wheels look great! Nice setup. As for the TPMS, it could be a couple things.
1) The sensors are very sensitive. If even one was knocked or broken during the transfer, they all won't give a reading. Also, anytime you do transfer TPMS it is highly recommended they are rebuilt using new grommets/seals. Any reputable tire shop should know to use a rebuild kit before transferring.
2) If there is a drastic change in pressure they'll sometimes reset themselves. Not as likely to happen but can happen, again because they are sensitive. You can try just getting them rescanned and reprogammed and see if that does the trick.

I see you are in Florida. If you have a Discount Tire in your area they can scan the sensors for free and see what the issue is.
The only reason this would happen would be dead battery, or damaged during service.
