Got new wheels, tires and sensors. Jeep isn't reading the sensors, is there anything special that needs to be done besides using my procal?

If the sensors are the correct ones, you don't need to do anything... except maybe drive around a bit.

Try disconnecting the battery. I had this issue on a previous car and that fixed it.

x2 it takes some time for them to sync. if they are the correct ones you should be fine in 20 minutes of driving.

if they're the same sensors (that came out of the factory wheels/tires) and you put them back in the same position & are use the same tire pressure you should have no issue.

otherwise the TPMS system will need to be reprogramed

not true on at least 13 and 14's as long as the tpms sensors are the correct part number for 13's and 14's (12 and early have different part numbers and are on a different frequency then 13 and 14's which are the same) they will self program just by driving around. you do not need to put them in any particular wheel as they do not care. I have swapped a couple different sets of 13's and 14's and all it takes is driving around and they will sync. If the sensors came from a 12 or earlier they will not work on a 13 or 14 no matter what as they have a different frequency. From the ops avatar it looks like he as a newer wrangler ie 10A or X model so 13 or 14..

might want to make sure they are the correct sensors for your year of vehicle. How many miles have you driven with them?
