Default Are TPMS sensors universal?

I have TPMS sensors on my 15 JKU that work fine. I'm buying a set of used Rubicon wheels from someone who has TPMS sensors in them that work fine. When I put on the new Rubicon wheels with his TPMS sensors, will my system automatically sense the TPMS in the new wheels? If no what do I have to do?

I have done this and they just work. You may have to drive a little but they should work.

Depends on the year as frequencies changed between some model years. What year is the JK the Rubi wheels are coming off of?

Both are 2015 models so according to what your saying they should work. Another funny question. Do they automatically sense what tire is which or do you have to set them as front driver and rear passenger etc etc. ???

Yes. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to rotate your tires without swapping sensors.
