Does this mean I have a TPMS sensor gone bad? Or could it possibly be something else wrong?

Jeep Gladiator Bad TPMS sensor or something else? C0649C77-0330-436F-A0FB-60ED239B8501

I've never seen that before, but that would be my first guess. Curious to see what you find out. Hope it's a simple fix.

I have an extra sensor so I’ll probably have the dealer swap it out when I take it in for service. Unfortunately I’ve got aftermarket wheels and tires so I doubt the dealer will fix it under warranty

What about the shop where you bought your wheels & tires? They might do it for free. If you ordered them and had them shipped, they might cover the cost of a local shop checking it out for you.

I ordered my wheels & tires online from a vendor in FL, and I had them shipped to me in TX. They told me they could refer a local shop if I needed help putting them on, but I did it myself. If I had an issue like this, I'm pretty confident they would help me work it out. Especially since this is the 2nd set of wheels/tires I've bought from them.

Wheels came direct from Rocktrix. Tires from Amazon. Sensors from a member of the JL forum. I’m sure I’m on the hook for this one LOL. No big deal

Wheels came from Rocktrix, Tires from Amazon, Sensors “new” from a JL forum member. Mounted and balanced at Farm and Fleet. Doubt I have any warranty. The sensors are OEM and the truck has 5500 miles so the dealer might warranty it but they are installed in aftermarket wheels and tires so I doubt it

Yeah, just saw your other message - suspect it's on you - but then you guessed that anyway. At least if you have a Jeep dealer or tire dealer fix/install another, THAT one would be guaranteed.

I would rotate the wheel that is not reading to the front and see if the problem stays with the wheel if so it is probably the wheel sensor, if not something with the JT system that reads the sensors.

Might want to try dropping the pressure down to around 20 psi or less and then back up.

I had a sensor on my JL act like it was dead and that got it reading again.

Ive got a weird issue with mine. All of mine display pressure, none are low, but I have my tire pressure light with the ! stays on. Even if I clear the light on the dash, it will come back.

I had that issue. Dealer was getting ready to replace a sensor when the "master mechanic" did a "Chrysler" reboot. Service guy said they let the air out of all the tires, did the reboot and filled tires back up. Everything working. So software problem.
