I have been through 3 sets of sensors and the back 2 tires always come up as not reading.
The tires have been rotated and the back 2 tires still do not read.
Could this be the RF Hub itself?
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

with my 2016, i had to go to Discount Tire to use their hand held device to make the TPMS read the proper PSI

I had bought the tires , rims & TPMS from them

I forgot to add that this problem is with my 2013 RAM. I purchased the wheels, tires, and new TPMS sensors from Discount also.
They tested mine and said they all 4 work. When the back 2 tires were rotated to the front, they worked and the rear 2 that were just on the front did not read now.

If they work on the front but not on the back, then when rotated the rear work when they are on the front its a reception problem not a tpms problem. I would suggest focusing on the circuit not the tire. The tpms circuit begins in front of the drivers front wheel.

None of them work when on the rear axle. That's why I am not sure what to do next. Discount has been very good and swapped in new sets for all 4 wheels 3 times and same results, none work on the rear axle.

The sensor that picks up the signal from the TPMS sensors is not working on the rear tires. Have your tried disconnecting the battery for a while to see if you can get the system to re-set and read? If that doesn't work, check power and connections in the TPMS system to make sure all is good, but it but you may need a new rear reader. Not sure for your year if rear and front readers are separate.
