Question
Why do some TPMS ECUs take 5-10 minutes to recognize new sensors?
Answer
They run “validation cycles” to confirm sensor consistency (e.g., 10 consecutive valid packets).
Explain
Validation prevents false registration of faulty sensors; CHEPQ tools speed this up by sending 10 packets in 1 minute (vs. 10 minutes naturally).
