Default TPMS Re-learn?

Just installed new custom wheels on my 2007 S80 with new Dorman brand TPMS sensors. Followed manufacturer re-learn procedures:
1. Start engine after being off for at least 10 minutes.
2. Drive uninterupted for 15 minutes at speed above 25mph.

Did several times now and still have warning message and light on.

Anyone know if this is the correct way?
Anyone have the right way? :-)

Thanks
Kevin

When we got our S80 last year I git two matching wheels for snow tires and factory TPMS sensors. They must be programmed the first time, from what I understand it is so the car will recognize them. We had ours done at the dealer, but any tire shop should be able to do it for a nominal charge (the dealer chrged 15 a wheel). As far as I know there is no DIY programming

I have no idea why anyone would run aftermarket wheels on a car of this caliber.

This forum is for sharing idea's and knowledge.....not personal opinions on other people choices!

You must not live in snow country where we like to run separate summer and winter tires!

STICK TO THE THREAD and keep your opinions to yourself!

Well, I live in the South where cars are beautiful and no one runs winter tires. It seems to me that aftermarket wheels have created a mess for you. My recommendation is to run OEM and be done with it.
