I think it has to be set to main. if you set it to 2nd set and there isn't a second set then you get the low tire or flashing tpms.

This is the 2nd set , main are in the stock wheels, and yeah I programmed them myself,
Since its reading low pressure and not check system I'm assuming that part was done correctly...

I didn't think you could program tpms sensors yourself?

Sounds like its working - I had to seal the TPMS canister twice to finally get it to stop leaking. It was fine around 20 PSI but leaked after 35

Yup, you can register the tpms yourself with tech stream, and I wanted to turn of my drl's.....
the can is holding air , can't figure or why it's still reading low pressure ,
