This seems to be an issue with all cars that have these systems.. knowing friends and family that have had numerous problems, I hope this isnt the care here.. All my readings are the same for each wheel, 35. I do not the the tpms light lit, just says service tire pressure monitoring system in EVIC.. Any thoughts on what the cause is or is there a reset I can do?

Have you replaced any sensors recently?

Edit... sorry for the brain fart. Just remembered you got that last week!

Are the valve stems rubber or aluminum?

No, could it be a sensor even though they are reading all correct as I check with gauge?

Does the spare have a sensor? Battery could be low.

And yes.... you may have an intermittent error in a sensor causing the service warning. I believe there is also a TSB for a programming fix.... let me check..

Im assuming they are stock, the guy before me took pretty good care but not nearly as much as us fanatics do.. Checked the spare its also reading correctly..

Spare battery may be low.....

If they're the new OEM sensors with rubber stems, they're known to have issues as well.

I found the TSB but think it was specific to 2007 model year. (08-008-07)

Yea Ive done some more digging, after driving around and watching the display, the pressure fluctuates.. My dad is real good with cars, especially Jeeps and he works at a chrysler dodge jeep dealership, he checked all TSBs when in for service.. His shop foreman thinks it may be the receivers..? I cant find the receivers anywhere, any clue where to find them? Im thinking just replacing every sensor and receiver, if its not loads of $$, car is 6 years old and 77k miles.

The recievers are in each front wheel well behind the liner, near the pinch weld, and one in the back near the frame next to the spare tire.

I would recommend not replacing the sensors right now. Chrysler susperseded the old part numbers and the new ones have a tendency to cause issues with our systems. I actually had to use my superchips programmer to disable my TPMS to get rid of the errors.... I'll enable it when Chrysler releases a fix (I'm guessing software update.)

I saw their location when I inspected the pinch weld mod this previous owner did(I wont post pics its almost embarrassing what a hack job).. I plan on getting a programmer soon, is superchips the way to go? heard lots of good stuff about the diablo intune i1000.. And as for the pinch weld, Im having that done the right way before winter hits, right I coated some sealant to keep from rotting, but will need to get addressed before winter.. Dont get me wrong Im happy with my Jeep and got a great deal on it, but when I do mods I do them right no half a$$ job.. Ill take your advice and use a programmer to clear them.. now which programmer????

I recommend the superchips flashpaq.... but jons currently testing out the superchips that works with android phones (looks pretty neat... check that out).

Just an FYI, this will completely disable the tpms. ... pressures wont even display on the dash

As much as I like the TPMS the service message is annoying as hell!!! Ill look into the superchips, thanks!

I can get the orange TPMS replacements for $70 shipped for 4 if you need 5 just tack on $15 more.
I have them instock at my store, and I have sold to many members on here that can vouch.
This is what they look like, they have replacable stems for $3 a piece. Yours will be new not this set.
