TPMS Information

[Gulf550]

Good information in this thread, but I've been having a problem with mine....


Okay, recently I went on a trip and the tire pressure light on the dash started flashing then goes out. Stopped and checked all the pressures including the spare and they were all good. It's been a few weeks now and randomly the light comes on and flashes for about 30 secs and goes back off. I wasn't sure if it would flag a fault code, so I hooked up the scanner, and nothing. Has anyone else have this problem? I figured I would let it go for awhile, since I travel a lot for work. But now it's starting to bother me. Ay suggestions would be great.

What tire pressure are you running? If you're running too much pressure you may be triggering the over-pressure warning after the tires heat up.

Of you could have a sensor that's getting a weak battery since its an 06. They're supposed to be 10 year life, but not all of them last that long. A tire shop with a TPMS tool will be able to tell you if any of the sensors are giving out a weak signal.

Most of the time a flashing light that goes out on its own is due to low battery in sensor or the sensor is getting clogged from fix a flat or debris in tire.

When I put the new tires on today 3 of the 5 where bad. So the good ones are in the front until I can get new ones. The two in the front are new so they should last a while, the others where done. Thanks for the part numbers and suggestions, leaning toward the OEM Mopars just to keep everything the same.

Well I think I'll order the Orange ones. After reading this whole thread they seem to be first choice.

Let us know how they work out. They're the only ones that seemed to work for me

Since Ill be replacing all 4 tires with MTRs next week, should I replace TPMS as preventative?

[Matt]

Your call really. Honestly I wouldnt bother.

If the new oem rubber stemmed sensors worked, id say go for them. But you may end up with the same issue as me. I wouldn't buy new aluminum sensors though, they're known to break while offroading so it'd suck to spend money for new ones and break one your next time out.
