SOLVED : stupid TPMS question: Is programming required?

[bradcrc]

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I cannot find the answer.

If I buy a set of takeoff wheels from a Jeep (built after 6/2021) and install them on my 2023 wrangler, will they just work after driving a bit, or do I have to visit the dealership to have them programmed in?

No reprogram needed if they have the right sensors. You seem to be tracking the sensor change already.

As long as all the TPMS's on the take offs you install are healthy and are the correct TPMS's for your JL...

You would want to try the following ...

Make sure the Psi on all 4, on the ground tires are set to exactly what the the door placard recommends. Then go for a ride... Hopefully, all will display after a mile or so.. AFTER all TPMS's are reading you can change the psi on tires.

If that is a no go..... try -->Often the spare tire messes things up so remove the spare, leave it in the garage and with the PSI's all set as per the door placard, go drive for a few minutes. Once all displays properly, put the spare back on the spare holder.

Also try: --> the current thought by most TPMS retailers/vendors, that IF you have one or more sensors not reading on a say a JL/JLU/JT, you deflate all tires to 12# below the recommended tire pressure, driver's side door sticker that tells you recommended tire psi. Now, after they are deflated you drive say a half mile. Now, you inflate to to +- 1# psi, of the recommended psi on the driver's side door sticker and go for a mile drive.. This scenario/routine is suppose to wake up the sensors, so to speak and get them reading...
