Hey guys,
I could need some help getting rid of my “Service Tire Pressure System” error message.
I have a 2013 RAM 1500 with 40k Miles and the 433mHz wheel sensors.
A couple weeks ago the “Service Tire Pressure System” Message appeared in my EVIC while underway. The drivers side (left) rear tire showed no reading and was highlighted in red. On the next start everything was fine for a couple Miles before the error message appeared again, showing no reading from the same tire. After that I got the error message right from the start.

Ok, no big deal, I thought, battery in left rear tire sensor is probably about to die - just replace the sensor. Bought an OEM sensor and had a tire shop install it. Error didn’t went away, and no reading from said tire came ever on.
Ok, I thought, maybe the sensor was faulty. Bought another one (Mopar OEM) and had it replaced. Error still present, even though the tire shop confirmed with their handheld scanner that the sensor was working before they installed it.
I then swapped the rear wheels left to right and went for a test drive. Error message was still present, still on the LEFT (!) rear tire. Right rear tire (the one with the new sensor in it) showed accurate PSI readings!

I then disconnected the starter battery over night and tried again this morning.
I still got the “Service Tire Pressure System” error message a couple seconds after turning on the ignition - even with the engine not even running! It still shows the left rear tire as the culprit even though the tire with the new sensor in it is currently on the right side!
I hooked up my code reader, but there were no stored error codes anywhere in the system. Cleared everything anyway, which still not solved the problem. Of course.
I know, there is no need for resetting the TPMS system or performing any sort of learning procedure other than driving it. It should pick up the sensors after about 10 minutes of driving above 15mph and of course I drove that damn thing in between all my attempts to get rid of the error message to no avail.
Now I’m starting to run out of ideas.
Next on my list would be to unplug the TPMS module and check the connections.
Anyone with any other/better ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
David

Unplugged and re-plugged the TPMS module. Unfortunately nothing has changed.
Now I’m seriously considering to buy a replacement module.
