If you did replace the sensors just try to reset it a few times. I had to reset mine three times to clear it. It kept on coming back to -9000 then -7000 and then finally the magic number appear positive. Good luck. If you need help PM me I can guide you step by step, or if not do the search.

2 per car. One sensor for the front, and one for the rear.
