Question

How do you resolve “ID already in use” TPMS errors?

Answer

Delete the old ID from the ECU, then relearn the new sensor.

Explain

ECUs reject duplicate IDs—use CHEPQ tools to erase the old ID (from a previous sensor) before programming the new one. This is common when replacing a single sensor in a set.
