Hello all, new to the group i just swapped some 2020 gladiator rubicon rims and tires onto my 2020 JLU sport S, but now the TPMS system light is on and telling me i need to service TPMS, i know the tires are inflated correctly, any ideas on how to trick the system into working, or do i need to take to dealer?

Thanks

Where did you get the wheels and tires? Its pretty common for people to keep their TPMS sensors because they don't realize that with these vehicles they don't have to be programmed to the vehicle. I'd bet good money you got wheels and tires with no sensors.

The person i bought from said they were in there since he just swapped for new rims, i think since it was a gladiator and i only got 4 rims that maybe my spare is causing interference?

Doubtful - the spare is nowhere near the antennas for the TPMS. I wonder if there is any easy way to check if the sensors are in place.

If it were me, I'd put the spare on in place of one wheel, and see if that shows a pressure. If it did, then I'd take one wheel to a tire place and have them take the tire off and see if the sensor is still in place. If not, I'd discuss it with the seller.

Did you ever get pressures for the new wheels / tires? Or did they never work? I doubt the gladiator uses different sensors as well.

I got the pressures and he said he ran them at 38 pounds, i am going to remove spare, and air them down and see if i can get it to reset

So you did get pressures in your information center after installing the wheels? How long until they went away?
