TPMS - Dumb Question

[kiloRAM]

Really dumb question...
When I rotate the tires, do I need to tell the truck that the tires have changed locations? If not, how does the truck know the wheels have changed positions? I still have the free dealer oil changes, and they usually rotate tires for me. I'm about out though.

I found a nail in my tire, but none of my tires had been losing pressure. The only tire that is slightly lower pressure is not the one with the nail (but it has been at that pressure for a long time). It just got me to thinking if the EVIC is smart enough to sense where the tires are.

Thx.

no you do not....the truck will recognize the new locations after a short drive

It’s magic, but it knows ... Or it’s real smart electronics ... You decide ... I’m going with magic ...

Magic works.

My old Rams didn't have tpms, and my wife's expedition has to be told where the tires are.

My understanding is that there is a receiver in each wheel well.

My understanding is that it reads the TPMS in each wheel, perhaps because a toad or a small dwarf lives inside the tire.

Magic yes. Better known as FM. Which equals Fu**ing magic.

Rainbow dust, and some magic.
