Default TPMS forever?

My TPMS dash light is continually flashing accompanied by a five count beep every few minutes. The reset procedure has not worked on either position. Suggestions?

.....SC 3 and 4's have TPMS? you uh sure you got the right Thread bud? Not an SC430? Uhm...well ok, working with the information given I'm unsure if the beep has anything to do with TPMS unless there's a warning screen or something. otherwise A flashing light typically isnt able to be reset as it usually represents a fault in the system itself such as and most common a sensor not reading or less common a module issue. that being said start with sensors, get them read/checked at your local tire/repair shop. or buy the tool yourself. usually anywhere between $150-800 for the tool. Shout out to Autel for making a scan tool and TPMS Combo in one for like $650. anyway, typically the batteries in the tyre sensors die between 5-7 years and unfortunately the entire sensor needs changing. and depending on if you've replaced any of them, best to do all 4 assuming they are in similar ages otherwise could wind up doing back and forth to your local repair shop replacing a sensor as they go.

TL;DR go to a shop, get your sensors checked, replace if needed, Diag if not that, Autel gang Rise up.
