Tire pressures. Monitoring

Tire rotations will have no effect on your tire monitoring system (TPMS). It does not care which tire is where, it just monitors the pressure of the tires at each tire position. At least that is my understanding. If you put new tires on your same rims, there will be no effect on your TPMS. If you change rims, but do not put TPMS sensors on those rims, you will get a error in your EVIC. So if you change rims, you need TPMS sensors for those new rims. If you only change tires, you will not have to do anything.

Peace.

Larryl is correct. Since 2011 the TPMS will give an error indication only for the first drive after the sensors are distanced from the vehicle and thereafter will show NA for the various wheel locations if you select the TPMS display.

When you rotate your tires or re-install wheels with sensors the system will automatically figure out which wheel is where and will display pressures again. there is no dealer or manual intervention required.

Note that the system does report in 1 PSI increments, so while essentially accurate, note that when in Metric the readout on the Journey is pretty coarse. The system in my old LHS was dead-on accurate and reported in centibar increments.

On my Crew I have no sensors in snow tires and all I get is N/A in the tire pressure screen no light on or anything a big improvement over my 09

Like larryl said. When I had my '09 DJ you would have a warning light on all the time with the winters and no TPMS. Wife complained about the warning light so I covered it with a piece of black electrical tape till spring when I changed back to stock rims with TPMS. Now we have the '13 DJ, after the initial alarm warning it just indicates N/A when you go to tire pressure screen.

wingit11,

Agreed, big improvement!

Nothing a little electrical tape can't fix but that doesn't work for everyone, believe me....

Take care,
