     My vehicle needed new tires so while I was getting it done I ordered replacement ones based upon my year/make/model. OEM were rediculously priced so I ordered these:

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKWB8L27?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

    I had tires/sensors done at Costco, their TPMS tool was not working so I ordered the
    Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF
    tool because 99% of repair shops have tools working there so WTF I bought my own.

    I set my car in the tool as type 8 for my year/make/model which strangely said 52933-2F000. No choice (out of the 9) was shown for my OEM sensors which was 52933-1F000. I did not know the model # of my OEM sensors until I had them handed to me by the Costco tech after the tires were installed. I thought nothing of it at the time and brought them home.

    I reset the TPMS code (I believe was C1660 unfortunately I didn't pay attention nor a screenshot) using the tool and the light went out, I then excited the sensors, all 4 verified as 'green',  reconnected the tool to the OBDii port and chose 'LATEST TEST/SENSOR PROGRAMMING/COPY BY OBD'.

    I drove the car and about 5min and the light came back on. No beep, I now see the 2 TPMS lights are hardwired to the TPMS module using open collector outputs. Interestingly it's not reporting to the BCM. Actually annoyingly, as I prefer to keep my eyes on the road as opposed to staring at the dash.

    I parked the car and checked for codes. Now it's C1306. I unplug the dashcam, throw my Iphone onto rear floor area. Damn, I also have airtags.  
      
     So after this, I read the TPMS mod may be bad. I order the same TPMS module that's in the vehicle : 95800-2F000.

    Run through same steps above with some variation, so many to choose from. Disorganized interface, but that's what is what's given in most advanced equipment, unfortunately only the interface designers know the right paths to choose..

    Hi, the tpms controller does not receive a valid rf signal due to interference within the
    system most likely by using not original tpms sensors.

    Also check tire pressure ,and the new sensors there could be one not good.
