Question
Why do some TPMS sensors require a “calibration drive” after programming?
Answer
To sync sensor pressure readings with the ECU’s baseline (account for tire heat).
Explain
The drive (10-15 miles) lets the ECU learn “normal” pressure at operating temperature. CHEPQ tools show calibration progress (0-100%) to avoid incomplete setup.
