  1. Found this info in a note about Dodge TPMS systems, looks like I need to find out what scan tool allows manual entry.

    Also found the info about the transponders in 3 wheel wells:

    The premium TPMS consists of tire pressure monitoring sensors attached to each road wheel through the valve stem mounting hole, a WIN, three wheel sensor transponders located in three of the four wheel wells, an electronic display and an indicator lamp.

    After the vehicle has remained stationary for 20 minutes, drive the vehicle for a minimum of 20 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed above 15 mph. During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID code and will clear any DTCs automatically. If a sensor cannot be trained, see appropriate manufacturer service information.

    NOTE: A new sensor ID can also be programmed directly into the WIN or TPMS module by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction with a scan tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the vehicle will need to be driven above 15 mph until the fault is no longer active (lamp extinguishes) and display is updated (for up to 20 minutes). Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.

  2. At my friends shop, we installed new winter tires on 17" steel wheels (verified proper offset/fitment etc.).

    I ordered 4 new TPMS sensors from ebay to use, p/n: 56029398AB. Now all information indicates the TPMS system should autolearn the new sensors and positions. It's been over 400km, speeds over 120km/hour, and still no luck. Only the Front Drivers sensor displays a pressure on the instrument cluster, the others trigger a service code with no reading.

    At his shop they have proper scan tools and TPMS tools, we tested from the sidewall of each tire using a TPMS scanner. They all report properly and at the the correct frequency for a 2014. We've increased to 40PSI, driven another 70km and still no luck. Is there a dealear procedure to manually program the IDs via OBD-II or to issue a manual relearn procedure and either upload the IDs via OBD-II or issue a learn with the TPMS tool similar to GMs? We connected a Snap-on SOLUS ultra and cleared the TPMS codes, but did not see anything that offered a manual relearn.

    Has anyone with 17" steel wheels and TPMS every had an issue with the auto learn on their journey? I was almost considering a strip of foil duct tape on each side wall over where the TPMS sensor is to try and direct the signal so the wheel well sensors pick them up maybe. But haven't tried that yet.

    We assume the front drivers tire relearned as it may be the wheel well without a pickup sensor for learning. (3 wells have pickup sensor, 4th tire is assumed)
