TPMS is misbehaving

[Bogiemyster]

I have a 2022 Mojave with 17,300 miles. About 6,000 miles ago, I replaced all 5 of my 33" factory falken tires and factory wheels with new 35" falken tires and new alloy wheels in February. I used the same tire sensors that were in the 33" tires. About a week ago, after I brought my Gladiator in for service at the local dealership where they rotated all 5 tires, my vehicle TPMS system started to indicating false tire pressure readings on the rear two tires. At first it was the right rear tire that indicated 15 psi pressure and the left was fine at 35 psi. I had inflated all 4 tires to 35 psi after the dealer service. Then a few days later, the right rear stopped showing any pressure, but the pressure reading on the left dropped to about 50%. The next day the readings reversed, ie, no pressure on the left rear but 50% on the right. The local Jeep dealer service advisor told me it was due to the new wheels. I find that questionable as the pressure readings had been correct for over 5,000 miles, about 7 months. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

Factory setup only includes four sensors. Did you add a fifth sensor with the new wheels?

Thank you, you are correct. When I went back to the Jeep dealer and spoke to a different service writer, he told me the same thing. I had a new TPMS installed and it works as intended. No issue with the after market wheels.
