TPMS woes

Hi all

I have a 2009 s-max

It has tpms from factory, but I changed wheels to no sensors and disabled TPMS months ago

I got 4x new sensors fitted in the wheels now, and would like to re-enable TPMS

Each sensor has an ID but I can't find anything in forscan to input their ID, or anything to enable learning mode?

Does anyone know how to *actually* enter TPMS learning mode on this particular car? I'd be massively grateful

thanks

    Code: C1A57 - Left Front Initiator

    Additional Fault Symptom:
     - Circuit Open

    Module: Body Control Module

    Seems a broken/loose connection passenger front.. will investigate

    Just to update... the antenna on passenger front was unplugged, however plugging it in, the error disappears but still no joy 😞

    Have you tried actually driving the car? TPMS usually takes about 1/2 to one mile of driving to register any changes in the TPMS system.
