Make sure you are not storing your old wheels with the previous TMPS sensors too close to your truck, like in the garage for example. They may still try to pick them up each time you leave/come home.

Did you end up switching the sensors? How much for the labor? I'm in the same boat. I just bought a set of 18" Overland wheels/tires supposedly still with sensors. I drove about 25 miles and I still have the tpms service warning. I already called a dealer and hoping to get an appt soon. From the outside, I can see that the stems of both sets look the same. IF the previous owner lied about the sensors still on there, it's gonna be a bummer! Oh well.I think ill have to switch the ones from my Sport alloys over.
Just to test, I put one of my 17" stock w sensor to the installed 18" and the system did not pick up. Maybe it should be rolling to register?Make sure you are not storing your old wheels with the previous TMPS sensors too close to your truck, like in the garage for example.

School this newbie. What is JT, JL, JLU?@Ogre_FL
Yes, sometimes / often if you do the dance lets say there is a happy ending.... 8-)
Lets assume the sensors you have are a go for your JT and that they are healthy... anyway do try this.. and be sure to follow the instr. exactly..
-->The current thought by most TPMS retailers/vendors, is IF you have one or more sensors not reading on a say a JT or JL/JLU, you deflate all tires to 12# below the recommended tire pressure, driver's side door sticker that tells you recommended tire psi. Now, after they are deflated you drive say a half mile. Now, you inflate to to +- 1# psi, of the recommended psi on the driver's side door sticker and go for a mile drive..
Also, many of those in the know, Wrangler wise, will tell you to take the spare off and try if you get a negative result doing the above... Having the spare off can make a difference. NOTE: JT does not have a sensor in the spare so this remove spare thing is not needed in regard to the JT, unless you have added a TPMS to the spare, which you can do.
This scenario/routine is suppose to wake up the sensors, so to speak and get them reading...
Note: Used to be it you just over inflated and drove but current/new approach is to do as I mentioned.
All that means is that you have TPMS stems. It doesn't mean that there's sensors on the end of the stems as they're removable and replaceable without swapping the stems.I was told you could tell they were tpms stems by taking off the valve cap. A regular stem just had the threads for the cap then the rubber below it. The tpms stems had the thread for the cap, then a smooth copper sleeve for about a quarter inch, before the rubber of the stem (the cap covers the sleeve when on).
It's possible that those were the previous readings and there's no sensors on the end of the stems. The vehicle will remember the last readings until you drive it for a while and it relearns.Good day all,
I picked up so rubicon take offs today, they still have the TPMS sensors installed. On start up I got readings from the sensors. After about 15 minutes of driving I got the “service tire pressure sensor”message and all four give me dashes as a reading.
I looked through the forums but couldn’t find this issue. Anybody got a quick fix or do I need to get it looked at?
Correct on the old reading. It happened to me. I was smiling when I drove off after the take offs were installed to find the warning later.It's possible that those were the previous readings and there's no sensors on the end of the stems.

How did you determine that the sensors were still in the wheels?
Sorry to here that, Vtur. We both learned our lessons eh? And I hope through this forum our experiences could give other members a heads up on what to do to lessen the costs buying some take offs. I think I still got a good deal, but could have been sweeter with tpms sensors included.This happened to me. The seller lied, but looks to be mature and not shady type person. I even had a chat with his wife as well. Fraud with a smile.
You would think someone who could afford a 60k truck would be a bit more honest over $100 parts.Sorry to here that, Vtur. We both learned our lessons eh?

Naw, I've switched wheels/tires back and forth several times. Right out the door it's got the correct readings and reading the correct wheels. (the others were in the bed of the truck)Not to beat a dead horse but I read that the TPMS learn process is similar to the drive cycles that must be met by the ECU to pass smog. It stated that the vehicle must be driven at least 5 minutes at 28MPH to relearn the TPMS sensors. I am going to give it try....
Gee, if that were the case, then I'd be in real trouble as I had my other set of wheels/tires in the bed of the truck! And I stored those I sold right next to my truck until I sold them. No problem. My wife's GC gets parked next to my JT and we've not had any issues.Make sure you are not storing your old wheels with the previous TMPS sensors too close to your truck, like in the garage for example.
