On my 2005 crd, I changed out a sensor and after about one week, it started working! (right front) I always have had the spare tire low warning . After reading everything I could find about it, I learn the spare tire must have the sensor ID programmed by the dealer for $65.00. My understanding to date is that any time a different wheel/sensor is installed as a spare tire it needs to have the new sensor ID programmed. Today, I called about 4 dealers here in Phoenix and non of them knew anything about it except bring it in for $65 to $105 to have it checked out. It appears newer jeeps don't have this problem. So far,, I have not found a programmer to do this without taking out a bank loan.
Just for the sake of people who web-search this and read it years from now:
I replaced all 5 valve stems on my '06 CRD this passed spring/early summer ('16) with new DORMAN 974001 stems, and had it checked by about a half dozen tire shops and dealerships.
The dash light is still on, and the EVIC always says my spare is low, no matter which wheel/tire is on the spare hanger.
All 5 have been repeatedly tested and proved to be transmitting correct data. Tire pressure has been varied up and down, and all the voodoo steps have been observed.
Countless chickens have been sacrificed.
I get a lot of shrugs from service personal at all the shops.
