They must be installed in the tire after the tire has been removed, disassembled and installed in place of the original Schrader valve. After remounting a tire on a Chevy, the memory must be erased and reprogrammed in a specific order. Most tire repair companies don't know how to do this. I visited 4 different companies before I found a mechanic who knew what he was doing. These tire pressure sensors (TPM) worked great when programmed correctly.
