TPSWarning

[Saltyreb]

I have 2 blanks on my TPS monitoring started with 1 now I have lost the 2 front tires. I hate taking anything to the dealer so my question is should I take this to a dealer or a good mechanic shop to get these repaired. I will probably go ahead and replace all four. One final advice request - do after market ones suffice or should i go with factory OEM? Thanks

try a local tire shop, it could just be the sensors in the wheels. Most tire shops nowadays have scanners that can read the TPMS sensors in the wheels

There was a thread earlier that said Walmart in the States will change the TPMS and supply the TPMS unit for 10 bucks a tire. Nothing is even close to that cheap anywhere I have seen. Walmart in Canada does not do it that cheap. I do mine when I change to new tires. I typically get almost 10 years out of OEM sensors, and replace all 4 or 5 when the first one goes dead. I replace them with pre-programed OEM that I get from Rock Auto.

OP: U have a 2019, I have a 2019 and 2 of mine have gone dead in the last 45 days. You have bunch of Options:

Dealership charge U $115 high end to about $73 a sensor. Does not include install.
U can order online and get like 4 for $60 +++ if you trust EBAY stuff. Pay someone to install.

Either way there is NO REPAIR for the blanks: Batteries going dead on the Tire Pressure sensor and U have to get them replaced.

For twelve bucks this might help troubleshoot whether it’s a tire transmitter or one of the receivers. It’s not necessarily one of the transmitters. Could be as simple as a dirty or bad receiver.

99% of the time one blank or two, the issue is the battery is gone on the TPMS sensor in the tire. The receiver is almost never the issue, and on most vehicles, one receiver reads all of the TPMS sensors. There is not usually a separate receiver at each wheel.

This has a very good detailed explanation.

No matter the system, ensure you follow service information closely.

Just assumed Ram would follow my Jeep jk monitors. It had three receivers and the fourth wheel was read as the blank spot.

The Jeep jk is an anomaly. It has a receiver on the rear cross member that reads both rear tires and a receiver in each front wheel well that reads each front tire seperately. That is far from common and I have no idea why they did it that way.

Like the ducks? I definitely don’t understand.

Me either. Seems like every Jeep I see has a dash full of them.
It will be like a Claymore if they are ever rear-ended!
