the dealership tried the training tool and hooked up the IDS and the computer doesn't see them. they are not ford sensors.

Unless you purchased second hand I would call who sold them to you and find out why the will not work. Hope it works out for you.

I'm working on that. Is there a process for doing this that I'm missing?

sackracing

The story I got is that they are asleep and I need to air down tires and re-inflate to wake them up to teach them.

Glad you got it figured out. Thats how I trained mine on the Buick.

Haven't tried it yet. Probably won't till Sunday.

Put jackstands under the truck, deflated all four tires, re-inflated to 40 psi and used the teaching tool to train them. Worked fine.

so you got them to work now? weird that the dealership wasnt able to help

sackracing

Yes, they are working. The dealership acted like this was the first time someone had brought in a vehicle with aftermarket wheels.

glad you got them working. as to the factory sensors in the aftermarket wheels, they will work. the only issue you would come across is the location for the stem in the wheel. if they are on the flat part between the spokes there will be issues when mounting the tire on the rim breaking the sensor.
