which brand of TPM sensors have been tried and worked ?

the OEM ones I have are 10 years old and most of them work , but you have to be carefull checking the Pressure because the plastic stem breaks easy

I replaced one bad sensor with a VDO - TPMS Sensor Part # SE57772 Available at most of the chain part stores...
It looked identical to the OEM sensor it replaced.

It never would self identify on the vehicle after driving around for three days per the instructions; ended up getting a dealer friend mechanic to his use DRBIII tool to get it picked up by the BCM... :roll:

Dorman ones did ok on my son's 06, linked up in under 5 miles. When buying on line be aware that US and overseas TPMS systems use different frequencies.

I got the Dormans in my Moab wheels and they seem to work. There is something wrong with my TPMS system though cause even before I swapped out the stock wheels I would get an occasional "Check TPMS" error and still do with the new sensors.

Mine says that my spare is low, no matter which of the 5 tires I swap to the spare position.
And that's after the 5 new assemblies from RockAuto were installed.

I still haven't found the correct EVIC unit on ebay to show me individual tires.
Mine just showed that a tire was low before the 5 new stems.
and the 'spare low' after the 5 new stems.

I bought a used EVIC with individual pressure readout, from ebay, but it was for an '06 Liberty, not the '06 CRD Liberty, which is why I'm still hunting.

After trying to figure out the spare tire sensor issue, I learned the dealer has to reprogram the sensor ID for the spare tire sensor. After calling several dealers in Phoenix after discount tire told me the dealer only!!, could reset the ID I was quoted $65 to $105. to reset it. Interestingly, two of the dealers offer tire rotations for $19.95 which includes tpms settings. You will need to make sure they are rotating the spare tire also if that is an issue for you. Perhaps this helps.
I refuse to pay $65.00 each time the spare tire is moved.

Thanks for that tip: it gives me something to look into.

Fighting currently with intermittent ESP/ABS/OtherMIscLights in dash that randomly come on while several tires think they're on ice while on dry pavement. That causes the wheels to lock/unlock and the engine to act like it's trying to idle down to 250 RPM.
All this time I suspected that the spare tire reading low was linked to the ABS sensor that figures out which tire is the spare was failing, and now I get to figure out if this is an additional symptom or completely seperate.
