Default Can I test my tire sensors?

My dealer insisted I needed new tpm sensors because my tpms light kept going off. I got new ones and later found out that they had the mmi on the wrong setting. Is there a way to test them? Think I may sell them or put them on winter rims.

Thanks for any help...

The dealer told me I needed new sensors, after replacing 3 it was determined that I did not need new sensors and that the issue was in the MMI.

I just took the sensors to Tire Town and they tested them and they tested good.

$120. for all three + $6.00 shipping.
