TPMS not working

[JOKER8R]

I’m having a similar issue myself. New wheels, tires & sensors from Discount Tire and no reading on any tires. They can’t even get the sensors to pickup on their scanner. They also tried 2 different type of sensors so they are gonna order some OEM sensors. Anyone with suggestions on this

I know this is a very old thread but my wife had the same issue on her 2019 JL. The dealership found/broke a wire that connects to the TPMS module. They said they fixed it but it was intermittent, usually when it was really wet out. I went back under there today while it was 65 in Connecticut and found the wire was only held on by one thread and ended up pulling it apart. I added some length and soldered it back together instead of crimping them.

If anyone is having the TPMS unavailable message, check the wiring that goes to the TPMS module.

Just thought I would add to this as it seems quieter than the wrangler forums.

I am having a very similar issue. I bought my JT used with 37 BFG All-Terrains and Rhino 17" wheels. I didn't know I had sensors in the tires as it didn't read when I bought it. I went to dealer for an issue and they had a recall for flashing/updating computer. When I picked it up the sensors were working. They dropped out in about 15 min of driving around town. I drive highway to work everyday for about 14 miles or so and they have never linked back up. It is back at dealer and today they tell me that the factory sensors are not designed to work with aftermarket larger tires and aftermarket wheels. They said I need aftermarket sensors that put out a stronger signal. I argued that this doesn't seem right at all and that plenty of people are using factory sensors with larger wheel/tire combos. They said they reset system a couple times and it reads then drops signal so must be the wheels and tires that are the problem.

@JeepCares They originally told me yesterday that they have replaced a couple of modules in the past on other Gladiators. Today they say the module does not give a error so it must be the wheel tires. How can this be?

This has been reported by others. It is an issue with the sensor hub they switched to in June of 2021. It is possible the sensor hub has failed, or the computer updates affected how it functions. Have the dealer test it by putting on a set of factory tires and sensors and taking it for a drive.
