After changing rims and wheels it indicate low tire pressure. Can the indicator be turned off? It´s not for my KJ, it´s a 2006 CRD Sport. |

Did you install the TPMS sensors in the new wheels? And if so did you have them relearned? |

2006 TPMS don't need to be relearned. 05+ have self taught sensors. My guess is the TPMS stems are still in the old rims. And NO, they can't be turned off. It's been asked many, many times. |

Sorry to hijack this post but I've got a related question. I got a quote from a local tire place about some new tires and they asked me if I had the pressure sensors. After I answered 'yes' they tacked on an extra cost ($5 i think) for the install of the new tires (same rims). Do they actually have to do anything extra on the install or are they just charging me more $$ because they can? Can someone give a little explanation on how the pressure sensors work? |

Tell this guy this is soooo stupid.... Change the tires don't affect in any way, it suppose you must use the same tire preassure that is indicated by the manufacturer (mine indicates 33 lbs), in any tire...235/70, 245/75, 31x10.5, etc It is not necessary to remove them from the rims if they change the tires and if they do it is stupid the want to charge for that.... The TPMS is inserted to the rim (secured by a nut inside), so: 1./ This guy does not need to remove them from the rims if he change the tires.... 2./ There is no calibration or "other" adjustment to the TPMS So, the charge is stupid as there is NO action required to the TPMS, they are not charging you because they can, they are charging you because they want!! I've never heard something so stupid....I mean that place you mention, not you I work at Continental here en Mexico, we manufacture that parts for Ford and Chrysler I suggest find another place |

Actualy ALOT of tire shops are charging extra now to do TPMS wheels becuase of the extra time it takes to relearn them (on ones that need relearning) They auto tack it on regardless of if nothing special is needed. Teh shop I work at doesnt charge extra, and my personal opinion is the REAL reason they charge is so that if they break one from being a total idiot they can replace it on the extra they charged you without using much money of thier own. p.s. There are so many differant TPMS systems out there I couldnt remember if the 06 kj's needed relearned or not. |

If you rotated in your spare tire check the air in that tire. It's possible you had small leak in that tire that was too small to let all the air out and not enough for the alarm to go off. Now that it's on the ground the weight of the jeep could had pushed more air out. The TPMS only shows the read outs of the 4 tires on the ground but there are sensors on all 5 wheels (and the spare only gets a warning if it's too low, not an actual read out.) When you rotate your tires you should also "re-train" the sensor. Check the manual on how to do it but it's pretty simple and takes less than 5 min. |

As already said this is an 06 jeep and it doesnt need relearned/retrained its a self tuaght system. I'm just betting either they broke a sensor installing them in the new wheels or never put them in. |

well that is easy to see if they didn't install them back in. The TPMS valve stem looks metal and is sort of recessed into the rim. If the stems are black rubber then it's not a TPMS stem.Really no reason to touch the stems if all they are doing is replaceing the rubber tires. I am betting a damaged TPMS stem as well. |

05+ Chrysler vehicles do not need relearned. '02-04s do Just FYI. And the extra $5 to install usually covers an install kit, because hwen they remove the TPMS sensor, you *should* replace the grommet or valve stem (Depending on the style of sensor) |
