the tpms light when off in my truck as i was driving... wasnt doing anything unsual... it said check tpms and i saw the pressures and then they became dashes... i know i have after market wheels and i bought new tpms for them... is it possible they died?... if not whats the problem and how do i fix it. my pressure is alright... it could be a bit low right now but nothing tragic.... hlp me out here cause im not even home... n i still needa get home tonight n its a hell of a drive if there is a real problem... the car is noow turned off and parked so im hoping it will be fixed??? if not is it just a battery reset thing?... i need answers quick! |

Ok go out and manualy cheap all 5 tires. Make sure they are all 33 PSI or higher... If they are then you are good to go. Do not worry about the light right now. When u can, contact the maker of your system and see if they have a FAQ. then work out the issues step by step... Maybe a barrty failed, maybe a sencor broke off. Or maybe the system no longer sees a signal for another reason.. It is not a huge deal, as you can check this manualy... |

If they are all -- then you've lost all the signal from the sensors. They only go to -- when the vehicle isn't reading them anymore. It's odd that all the batteries would die at the same time so chances are the receiving unit in your truck went bad and is no longer receiving the TPMS signal. Its nothing to get all worked up over. Did you get new TPMS or a "rebuild" kit for them? New TPMS from the dealers are about $120 each. Most places will sell you a rebuild kit for about $10 each when you get new wheels/tires. Just take it to Jeep and have them look at it. |

Yes they can be disabled. Your dealer will have to go into the computer with the StarScan and turn the system off. |

Rebuilds are only the outside lock nut and valve stem. IIRC, the sensors are only good for about 5 years and ARE NOT serviceable.... |

okay boys and girls... the problem fixed itself... i don't know what happened though... it was quite weird. when i got back in my car two of the sensors were on then the other two kicked in... and its 100% now... weird |
