Hes got the light on the dash for TPMS, he needs to buy replacements (i think battery dies after a few years) and a shop told him he had to use a Porsche tool to configure the TPMS after replacing the sensors.

Suggestion

Once the tire shop installs the new TPMS's you have to go into the car system by using the small lever on the right side of the steering wheel, first you go to settings, then choose the correct wheel sizes (18"/19"), and thereafter you will get a message showing that the TPMS is not available (it says it is learning..) and after a few minutes of driving, each pressure will show up on the dash.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know some of you have 987s as well so I figured i'd ask. A friend has a 2008 987 base with the tire pressure monitoring system. Hes got the light on the dash for TPMS, he needs to buy replacements (i think battery dies after a few years) and a shop told him he had to use a Porsche tool to configure the TPMS after replacing the sensors. I have a durametric that I use for my 986, i'm wondering if that's something I can do with it? Thanks, Cristian

Cristian, on the 987 you didn't require the dealer to reprogram the TPMS system. Once the tire shop installs the new TPMS's you have to go into the car system by using the small lever on the right side of the steering wheel, first you go to settings, then choose the correct wheel sizes (18"/19"), and thereafter you will get a message showing that the TPMS is not available (it says it is learning..) and after a few minutes of driving, each pressure will show up on the dash. NOTE: Please mention to your friend that there are two different frequencies (MHZ) on the TPMS sensors and he needs to ensure to order the correct ones (I buy mine from the tire rack) as they provide the correct frequency for your car, good luck!
