Tire pressure sensor replacement

[Mark A Palmer]

I have a pressure sensor out on my 2016 RAM 1500. Can somebody advise me on what I need to do to replace this?

Have you verified whether it is the sensor in the tire or the pickup sensor on the body? If not, switch the suspect tire with another and make sure the problem moves. If the tire sensor i have seen that sometimes the sensor can be removed without removing the tire. Not sure if that is an option but recommend doing it the right way and let a tire installer do it so that tire is rebalanced after.

Take it to a tire shop and have all 4 sensors replaced. They only last so many years. Just another government-mandated gimmick to cost you $$$.

Tire shop, or check with someone that has the programmer.

Thanks all.

2016 is about 8 years old if they are original. Good life span. You can remove they without removing the tire, but requires a bit of skill and a way to breakdown the tire. If you have neither, then the suggestion of a tire shop is on point.

I've changed them out in my garage. Requires some sweat and a few beers, but not too bad. I assume a shop would just charge you a flat rate to dismount/remount the tire.
