TPMS unavailable after tire swap

[Sweetums]

Well there's your problem, no wonder you can't know the sensor's pressure and how many you have at the same time.

Pulled all the aftermarket PDQ TPMS sensors out of my tires and installed the Mopar sensors myself. That was fun! Ran up to my local tire shop, and the owner offered to "wake them up" for free. He scanned them with his scanner, and two minutes later, we fired up the Gladiator, and all of them were reading properly. I offered to pay him, but he smiled and said I didn't owe him anything. I love living in a small town!

I’m having the same issue. I’m running 18x12.5 -38offset Dirty life wheels. My TPMS don’t read.

Did you get new sensors with the wheels, or transfer the OEM sensors?

I used the OEM. I transferred the sensor myself. They were working with the stock wheels. Once I put them on the new wheels they stopped working. I’m wondering if it’s because of the offset the wheels have

My wheels are -38 and TPMS works fine. Are your valve stems in the middle of the wheel or out on the edge?

mine are out on the edge, I’m also on 40s. I’m also using the Apex Valve stems

How are you using Apex valve stems and the stock TPMS? Two valve stems in each wheel? If so, what do the Apex valve stems have to do with this? Having 40s does not move the TPMS sensors any further from anything. Again, moot point

I seriously think there needs to be a Repeater like a Network Mesh system. I still have the same problem, I have been in the service 4 times now. and still not resolved.

thanks. I ended up going back and swapping to all new sensors. Somehow all of my old sensors where dead. Have zero explanation on how that can happen. But new sensors were working within a few miles.

That sounds way too coincidental, for all four tpms to just magically go out at the same time. This has incompetence written all over it. Then for them to tell the customer to pay in full for new, also terrible of them to do.

If it works with stock wheels, what is the defect?

Worked. Other than incompetence/damage, the only other thing I can think of is interference. For example, a metal framed desk will cause all kinds of issues when a Bluetooth mouse is below the frame with a receiver above the frame. Another ( unsupported ) theory is that someone brushed a magnet too close to the tpms sensor, causing havoc for the tech that’s on the inside.

that would be interesting though, to put those tpms sensors back in the OEM rims, and see if they still work.

i’m hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me will post back. @ShadowsPapa ???

so my wheels have only one valve stem hole, I used the Apex Valve stems with my OEM TPMS. I took of the Torx screw that goes on the OEM Valve stem with the OEM TPMS. And transferred it to the APEX valve stem.

Maybe you're right and they are too far from the receiver in the car. It seems strange, but you did go to 18s and the valve stems are further out, due to the offset. My wheels are -38, but they have two valve stems each, and they are located way back from the outside edge of the wheel.

could be, I checked my sensors today with a scanner and they are all reading correctly. On the 2022 gladiators where is the TPMS module located?
