    I bought 4 new TPMS PMV-C010 sensors, which I am installing into new wheels. Is there a way to wake them up without using an expensive tool like ATEQ VT31? Will they wake up automatically if I install them, add pressure, and start driving? I hope I could reprogram new IDs printed on each sensor into the TPMS ECU with mini VCI without getting another expensive tool to just wake up the new TPMSs. Is there a cheaper way to wake them up, like strong magnet, rapid tire deflation, or acceleration?

    Thanks.
