Twinredneck Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I have a weird issue but have read some good tags. I have a2012 journey and the battery went dead so I took it out and charged it. Battery showed 12.83, so all good there. When I reinstalled it I got TPMS light and all types show dashes. Talk to dealership where I live, they said bring it and will check it. I did and they said TPMS system working and said it must be tire sensors. Not buying that I took care to local tire shop where they read the sensors and showed they were working just fine. I can't stand bad dealerships and bad mechanics. Through this forum I found out about the module so I disconnected it and system still showing same all dashes with it disconnected so I'll change out the module when it arrives and let you know what happens. Great forum. Thanks 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinredneck Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Yes battery is fine as is the alternator. Had radio on with car off is why battery died. Started vehicle many times since the battery was charged. I will get back to you once the module arrives. The module had alot of debris on it behind shroud. And like I said when module was disconnect the system was reading the exact same. Thanks 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Unfortunately a lot of TPMS stuff is not plug and play. New module may still need to be configured by dealer or a shop with a TPMS interface tool or programmer. The early TPMS systems like in my F150 never even told you which tire was low or the actual pressures. So not really even worth fixing if they broke. jkeaton and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
