I don't understand why I can't get it to work. I've tried numerous attempts with no luck of keeping the light blinking. It only blinks for 60 secs then the light stays on constant. I've followed all direction for air pressure and ground. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Wakeboarder, I saw you were having a bit of trouble. Can you help?

Where are you tapping the end for the ground? First I was tapping it on the metal bracket by the OBDII port but it turns out that is not grounded. I then tried it on another piece of metal and it worked. also make sure you have it in the right hole on the plug. There are 4 but only one of them will work.

Now I tried it again and when I start the car, the light no longer blinks, it stays on steady from start up! Really strange.
So I filled the air pressure back up and took it for a ride hoping that it did something but so far my air pressure light has not gone off.

First I connected a ground wire to the battery terminal and was using that as ground.
Then I tried tapping a few metal pieces down by the pedal conntrols and linkage.
Last I wrapped wire around the door latch on the side of the car and used that for ground. I test all my grounding spots with a home testing kit that I have so I know they were all creating a ground.
I looked inside the female end of that plug and saw there was only one hole with exposed metal in it. I used both copper wiring and a paper clip without success.
I'm not really sure why it didn't work, but if you read my previous post the light no longer blinks, but stays steady on even at start up. So it did so something, just not sure what. I'm hoping the light will reset with more driving on proper psi, or I may try it again tomorrow.

Are you tapping it within 10 seconds of turning the car to ON position?
Follow the instructions precisely:
Turn car to ON, but not start the engine.
Tap the wire to ground exactly 6 times. Make sure the wire makes solid contact with the grounded metal each time.
Then watch the light and wait. If it does not stop blinking, youre good to go.
If it is solid. Turn the car completely off. Wait 5 seconds and then repeat.

You can enter the learning mode before letting the air out. But remember to set the tires to the listed pressure before you start driving for 10 minutes. And once you are in the learning mode, do not turn the car off. Go straight from ON to Crank.

Turned the car to on position, tapped the wires together 6 times within first 10 secs but nothing happened. The light didn't flash. It stayed illuminated the whole time without a blink. It's frustrating me cause I believe it's possible to do, because a few have tried it and I don't understand why my car is not engaging the learning mode.
