Blackout Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hey everyone was wondering if someone can hopefully help me figure this out. I installed 4 brand new winter tires 4 steel rims and 4 aftermarket tpms sensors 3 of them read off the bat one of them doesn't read it just shows -- Sensors been checked they are good with the reader Sensor swapped twice same thing. Any idea what it is or do I need to buy oem tpms sensors? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Do you have to use OEM TPMS Sensors or You can Use Aftermarket? jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 3 out of 4 sensors read that's what I don't get They are all the same sensor I'm confused at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Tuesday I have an appointment with the tire shop that installed them let's see what they say maybe swapping the tpms for the 3rd time will do the trick not even sure what to say anymore.

bigtsr Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 If they move the tire to a different hub and the fault follows then it's the wheel unit either faulty or wrong frequency (MHz). If it shows the fault for the same wheel hub then it would be indicative of a faulty receiver. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Took it for a ride tonight went to do some errands now the passenger side rear light came on -- I am so fed up with these sensors Can I remove them all and will TPMS light be on or it will go off?

Lobitz68 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I believe it will turn off after you address it the first time, but I'm sure someone else will chime in with a more positive answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do grab the road, but fuel economy takes a hit. Edited December 15, 2015 by priell3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2late4u Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 How long do the tpm last? and why did you replace all 4 so soon. my 2011 were still reading good even after i replaced the tires at 6ok and 3 yrs. when i traded it in on my 2014 crossroad..

bramfrank Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 He didn't replace them, but installed a set of snow tires on a separate set of wheels for winter use - I do the same, but I didn't bother to install TPMS sensors on the winter wheels.For the record, they are supposed to last between 5 and 8 years under normal use.

Blackout Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Totally worth buying winter tires My safety is very important & your insurance drops as well! priell3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
