    I never bother with my sensors. I have one at the back that if you go a bit lively down the motor way it looses signal and brings on the light. I just ignore it now
    Mine is just the same, its a rubbish system.

      Is there anyway I can reset the system?

        I had the same problem about a year after I bought my Insi. There are only a couple of manufacturers who make the sensors. Opel/Vauxhall usually use Schrader sensors. The OEM ones “learn” within a couple of miles. I managed to get mine all replaced under warranty, and the dealer said that the wheel/tyre size doesn’t affect them.

        The batteries should, from new, last about 6 years, depending on climate. If the sensors are new, I would complain and have them exchanged.

          Yeah I know that but with the warning light for the tpms being up on the dash will that not read that error and be able to reset it so the car picks up the 4 sensors?

            Yes they are brand new sensors but all sensors seem to be fine it’s the car that for one reason or another is only picking up the wheels on the passenger side of the car.

              It will reset its self when it see's the 4 sensors.

                  It will reset its self when it see's the 4 sensors "and at the correct pressures" Mine has got 3 pressure range settings adjusted by steering wheel buttons have you checked that its not got accidentally changed.

                      I guess the only real way to tell, is to swap the wheels around and see what happens. Seems GM have some issues with receivers (keyless entry + Start/Stop) keeps fannying around on mine thead

                        I’ve swapped all wheels around and no matter the combination, what wheels fitted where, it always just picks up the two wheels on the passenger side and not the wheels on the drivers side

                          Probably a silly question, but did the dealer/seller where you got the sensors from use your VIN No. to make sure they are compatible? Might be worth going to an independent garage to see if they can „re-learn“ the sensors.
                          If that doesn’t work, check if there are any errors on the OBCD.

                            Mines Sept 2015 reg car but is the 2016 model. Im sure I have seen somewhere on this forum that some earlier cars have the option to switch TPMS off totally, but newer cars the "off" option is not there as its legal requirement now to have TPMS.

                              Yeah 2014 onwards it’s a legal requirement put in by the EU that all cars have to have the TPMS system installed.

                                I don’t know about the VIN no stuff. I’ve an auto electrician coming to look at it on Wednesday but I would have rather tried to get it foxed myself cause god knows how much he’s gonna charge me
