2012 Tire Pressure Sensor
Ok, dumb question I know but...
I didn't realize the 2012 has a tire pressure sensor... anyone know what happens when I put on new wheels? I mean, I know the obvious is it won't work but am I going to have to ride around with a yellow light on my dash telling me I have no pressure or does it just kick off?

Didn't think to actually look at the rims to see if they still have them. A lot of the newer systems on cars are going with actually comparing rpms of each wheel based on the abs sensor and not actually reading the air pressure. It would have been good if they had switched to that system on the jeep.

Yeah, any competent shop will already know what's involved. You need to have them use an install kit (metal versions use a new washer, o-ring and collar; rubber versions have a bolt on stem) to ensure there's no leaks.
As far as how they work, basically they measure the PSI in the tire. Once it drops below a set amount, the system provides a warning. The system uses RFID.

Hi. Just searched this topic. I did switch the sensors to the new wheels. After 19000 miles the TPM light has come on. Obviously the manual does not tell you how to reset or turn off. So any tips on where I can look or even better would be someone who has already turned theirs off.
Thanks
Thanks

I recently swapped a stock set of ruby wheels/tires (100 miles so far) and was told the wheels did not have tpms sensors. I was expecting the light to come on immediately but nothing. Is the tpms an option only for Rubicons or Saharas? Or did this come on all 12's? I'm thinking that I should remove my sensors (if I have them) before selling my stocks. Thoughts?
