Tpms

[KJJosh]

I'm getting my MOABS mounted sometime this week with a set of Duratrac's in 245/75/16. I also purchased a new set of TPMS sensors. What is needed to make the new sensors work with the new wheel/tire combo??

I'm keeping my current set of rims and tires so I can't swap the sensors out.

nothing, take it all to a tire shop and theyll put the sensor on the rim and mount the tire.

I beleive the sensors need to be programmed to your vehicle's computer.

06+ There is no real "programming", they get learned after you drive for a few miles.

The dealer did the reset procedure when I had one replaced, but it wouldn't register until I drove a few miles.

In the Evic How to thing it says theres some magnet or something that syncs them.
heres the link says it at the bottom: http://theblakbox.com/lost/evic/

Magnet just resets the positions of tires and tells EVIC which TPMS is in which tire. It is pretty magical, you also get a nice honk each time you train a sensor.

This applies to 02-04 KJ's. 05-07 KJ's are supposed to reset themselves My 05 resets themselves when I rotate the tires anyway.

Since Josh's KJ is an 07 I think he shoud install them and drive a few miles and see what happens. Then let us know so we know for sure.

Wow, even more magic.
In my 04, it only senses spare swap, due to lack of motion/rotation. Otherwise, it doesn't know which one is where, so we better not lose that donut magnet

TPMS is for lazy poeple,sorry but it is.

Alright I think I've found the answer... My 07 FSM states:

Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM) can monitor the state of each of the four sensors on the four roating road wheels. The WCM can automatically learn and store the senor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above 15 MPH" after a sensor has been replaced, The vechicle must be stationary for more than 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.

It goes on to say:

When the spare tire pressure sensor is replaced with a new pressure sensor, The sensor must be changed from Park Mode to conserve battery life. Either use a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or swap the spare with a road tire.

I HATE the tpms in my '09 F250
it does not tell you which tire is low
dings every time you start it ,when the light is on
and the 4 times in the past year that the light has come on it was the spare
yes the spare on an F250 ,know where that is? UNDER THE EFFING TRUCK
oh and the factory put the valve stem POINTING UP on the spare
I figured out that I can flip the spare and remount it but still it *****
oh and best part is that the light comes on if the tire drops below 50 psi
I have OBA on the truck so adding air is easy
I am looking for a way to mount the sensors in my air tank so they think that all 5 tires
have 120psi in them and never less than 90
they can not sense over pressure only under

side note '09 VW tells you which tire
and the spare is in the trunk ,very easy to add air
'02 TJ ,who cares

Jealous!

Mounted up the rims and drove for a few miles. Dash light went off and all is well in TPMS land. I didnt have to swap the spare with a road tire either.
