Why do my TPMS sensors not show in the sensor scan?
The most common issues for sensors not showing in the search dialog are a dead battery or the valve tread was not enough to trigger the sensor pin.
In the case of a dead battery a simple battery replacement will fix it.
In the case of not enough tread in the valve, try installing the sensor without the security nut to see if the extra thread is enough.
To force a sensor to go into discoverable mode you can do the following:
Slow unscrew the sensor from the valve, the air pressure difference should force the sensor to broadcast
Remove the sensor battery, wait 1 minute, reattach the battery, start the dialog in DMD2 again.
