I dont know where the reciever is, if there even is one its a 2021, all the reaserach ive done says they get picked up by the RF hub. but if there is a reciever closer to the tire, then id for sure go that route, and its not that it never shows up, it does SOMETIMES but its anoying when it come on and off threw out the day

Well this morning 3 of the sensors went out, which are the same symptoms of the old sensors!!!!! really have no idea at this point, unless i just need to spend the money and get OEM sensors....no idea if the ones that where replaced where OEM or not.

Any sensor being replaced,should be replaced with an OEM sensor. Or the same brand sensors that the vehicle was designed for,and was originally equipped with.
This holds true for any make vehicle.
You may save a few dollars with aftermarket sensors, but still having issues, then going back for parts ,then redoing the job , does not mean that you saved anything.
And pulled some hair out trying to figure out why things are not working properly.

Daw - DRK has been told to go back to Discount Tire and make them fix the issue as he has already paid them to do that and it isn't working. The advice included putting in OEM sensors. For some reason he refuses to do this and prefers to post about his ongoing problems.

TPMS not working isn't critical, you can still use a tire gauge, so when I run into advice resistant people I have learned to just quit trying to offer advice they don't want anyhow. Stay well.

Its not that in refusing to go back to Discount Tire, to fix the issue, Its Sunday, and Discount Tire is closed, was merely updating that it has moved from just the Front Passanger, to now several of the tires. And I will say, it was also doing this BEFORE they replaced the TPMS, Did it have OEM TPMS in it before? Unknown.

I have Discount Tire TPMS in my 22 for the last year without any problems from them, if you had problems with TPMS before they installed new ones I would be looking/checking to see what else may be at fault....

I just dont know all the other systems that are in the TPMS system, if there is some kind of a reciever neat that tire? or is it all in the RF Hub? thats what im trying to figure out. Also just did some playing, and the problem one has always been the front passanger, well turns out that tire is actually on the passanger rear.

DRK… I know this is an old post, but I feel your pain. I have the same problem. In my case I replaced my sensors with OEM ones and it still drops the sensor. Did you ever get the problem resolved? I replaced my RF hub thinking it might be the problem, but it still dropped the one sensor.

The Tire pressure monitoring system TPMS sensor is not working on my front passenger side on my 2019 RAM Rebel 4x4 and the dashboard is telling me that is disconnected after some minutes because is not receiving signal from that tire.
Can I take the truck to any tire shop to get a new sensor ?, or it have to be done at the dealership. Can I fix just the tire not working ?, or I have to change all tires sensors. Can I use any aftermarket sensor ?
There is a battery in them and they go bad. Just go to a tire shop and have them fix it. It happens often with all vehicles your age. Simple........

From what prices for a TPMS I have seen 75$ not bad installed ! I figure 25$ a tire for install is normal up here when anyone work on a tire! BUT I agree with you in I might be able to find them a little cheaper if I shopped around ! They were installed and purchased at a Local shop ! And labor rate is 150$ or 175$ a hour !
