Tire idiot light on!!!!

[TimAugie]

Well here is your situation and I have the same. The TPMS is not strong enough of a signal to turn the light off but it is capturing 'occasionally" the PSI. That is why the PSI is accurate but the system thinks your TPMS is bad because it isn't getting the signal on every tire rotation.

The only solution to this so far and it is hit or miss. The OEM TPMS sensors Schrader 20398 or (if you have a 2020 with Fill Alert then 29117) are your best bet. Any other brand is hit or miss. The problem is with Jeep and its receiver being too weak when you lift or put thicker ply tires on your Jeep. Obviously they won't fix the issue when you go away from stock so I am not hopeful it will even get resolved but it does seem they know there is an issue because we are not seeing the same problems with the 20 JL's only the 18 and 19's.

Of course also a programmer to turn it off will work as well.

Hope that helps.

Copy that, thanks man. I just got a Tazer so I’ll probably just shut the TPMS system off and check them like the old days. It’s not worth it to me to order new OEM sensors, or swap my old ones, just to have the system in tact. Again, thanks for the info.

Thanks for this...I have started having this same problem on my 2013 JK unlimited and I've been having a heck of a time figuring it out.

Different problem. Your 13 should be fine. We are not seeing any issues like this with TPMS on the pre-JL. I would assume you either have TPMS that are getting old and another problem is occurring.
