Most TPMS need to be programmed in by serial number to the vehicle.

1/2 of the equation is a tool like the Autel TS401 for about $150

This can read the sensor serial numbers, BUT you need either a Pro level scan tool or something like Reingold software to actually enter the serial number values in the car.

One cool feature of the TS401 is you can just walk around and check the tire pressure without removing caps, effectively just turning on the TPMS sensors in the wheels.

I was able to get my TS401 for about $75 shipped about 4-5 months ago, so I jumped on it. I do have a number of Pro level scan tools that will allow me to input the TPMS serial number into the vehicle then there is no problem after that.
