First 2 issues with Jeep and both happened today wtf!

[Yellowssm]

First issues with my wrangler and they both happened today at the same time. 2020 rubicon with 6900 ish miles.
1. Key fob stoped working. I don’t think it can be the battery because both keys aren’t working. Can’t use smart entry to open door (have to use key in the key hole to open door) and have to physically touch key to push button to start it.
2. Tire pressure sensors just stopped working on the drive home. Haven’t mounted or dismount tires from wheels for over a month so sensors couldn’t have been damaged?

happened to anyone else?

I have had the push button to keyfob thing happen before, I never lock my doors so I didn't notice till I got in. I just walked out of the Jeep with the key, then back in and it worked.

I unplugged the battery for a few minutes and now smart key works again but still have to touch fob to button To start and tire pressure still not working

hmmm weird - are the doors off just curious

if the batteries are good in the remotes, then it could be the rf hub , have dealer check into it , u can yourself remove the battery , wait 5 minutes then see if that works .. as far as tire sensors , i have only seen this issue if new rims were installed and the sensors were not installed correct or damaged - see if your rig needs an update , sorry not much help

u can also try to deflate all the tires , then inflate them back to normal and drive around for a little bit - best i could do for ya sorry

Try leaving the car battery disconnected for five or six minutes rather than one or two minutes. That worked for me when I had the key fob issue. It might take a little time to allow a total power down.

Did you push your fuses in?

It was around 15 minutes I had I disconnected.

ps - if i remember the fobs should reconnect if u push the start/run button with the fob

I had very similar a few days ago - key fob stopped working and 1 Tpms sensor was going nuts. Not 100% sure, but pushing in fuses might have fixed it for me. Didn’t feel any super loose, but after doing that I closed the hood and tried the key fob and it worked. So it was either the fuses or a supernatural being assist. Probably fuses.

Ok guys I did everything you all said to do and it’s all fixed. Thanks. I Disconnected battery for over an hour, pushed fuses all in (there were some that seemed loose cause they clicked in, deflated all the tires down under 15 and aired back up to 33 and drive around for 5 minutes. Everything working as normal except my Satelite radio doesn’t work. Maybe my free trial ended (got Jeep roughly 6 months ago)

Switch to AM and back to SXM, unless it is in fact expired. If it is and you want it you can push SiriusXM to give you a package around $5-$6/month.

there is no SXM button at all like there used to be

 

[am1978]

Eww, that’s a Uconnect bug. Turn it off for about two hours. Turn it back on. Make sure your Uconnect version is up to date. It’s like the one where you lose half the volume output.

I think there would still be a button even if expired. See my other post. It’s a bug. The SXM button will return.

I had the same thing happen the last couple of days with the key fob, Jeep unlocked in the garage. Without getting out I locked and unlocked the doors with the key fob and the push button started working. Had the same message and put the key fob to the start button and button turned red but didn't push the button. After looking at the message you show (and now that I am not mad) I think you have to actually use the key fob to push the start button. This has happened multiple days in a row and also none of the manual controls worked on the dash, stop/start, volume and fan which then corrected itself within 30-40 seconds after starting.
