2021 JLURD, installed my new wheels and tires with a set of TPMS sensors off Amazon. Used the same sensors on my Gladiator with no issues. The ones on my Gladiator learned/programmed on their own but these on my JL are not. The dealership has programmed them twice now and swear the ECU and sensors are pairing, but they never pick up the correct tire pressures and after a day or two, TPMS light comes back and all pressures show blank. Any chance a 3.5” lift and 37’s have made the sensors too far to be read? I had same setup on my Gladiator and again, no TPMS issues. Hard to think all 5 sensors would be bad. I have a Tazer Lite, but I get the same issue with it married or unmarried.

The TPMS part number changed this summer. Newer build?

I had to swap the stock ones onto the new wheels. Same symptoms with aftermarket ones. The stock ones synced almost immediately.

Yes, delivered in July. I was afraid of that. Sold the stock wheels and tires with the TPMS. My dealership can’t mount/balance 37” tires, so this is going to cost another $200 or so and I’m stuck with sensors that are useless lol. Maybe someone will want them for an earlier model year.

Did the person you sold them to have an older JL? They may not be working for him either and you could meet at a tire place and trade.

All JLs after 6/6 have new TPMS sensors, as well as a different receiver etc. you have to use those, others will not work.

Yeah looks like 2021 JL’s and JT’s actually have two different part numbers for sensors based on build date. Guess I will be buying new ones.

He had a JK and had issues, not sure if he figured it out. Guess I could ask him, but what a pain to coordinate both vehicles at the same shop at the same time to swap sensors.

Yeah, hopefully they're back in stock. I couldn't find any to order when I did mine in August.
