- This video will demonstrate a process to replace TPMS Sensors using basic hand tools at home.
Not 30 miles into a recent road trip in our 2011 Jeep Liberty, the TPMS displayed a warning light. I pulled of the freeway, checked all four tires and found the system to be in error. We continued on our way keeping a cautious eye on things. After we concluded our 2000 mile round trip, I took a deeper dive into what the issue might be...
With the help of a WIFI OBD2 adapter and the OBD JScan App I was able to confirm that one sensor is bad.

sometimes i watch a video to figure out how to fix something myself. other times i learn that i have no desire to do it myself. thank you sir for leading me to the latter conclusion.
Great video !
Already ordered 4 new sensors for my Liberty ..
A little info and tips for you guys;
The sensors are numbered as the door latches, which states:
1 - Front Left, 2 - Front Right, 3 - Rear Right, 4 - Rear Left.
Another great tip is to take a picture of the back of the sensors before installing, then - if the system won't recognise them - just put them in by their ID using alfaOBD or Jscan or Autel ..
Hope this helps :)
Good tips!
ya if you wanna know his life story!!!!
I bit the bullet and bought the Autel TS501. I was able to buy their sensors and copy the ID# from the old sensor to the new one. My 2011 Grand Caravan never knew that the sensor was changed. The Autel was expensive, but very valuable. I had sensors that would quit intermittently but work fine at the tire shop. I was able to stop on the side of the road when light came out and find out which sensor was the troublemaker. I went ahead and did all 4 anyway after a few weeks aftera 2nd one failed. They were all from 2011, so if they weren't going bad, they were on borrowed time. Great video. Your bead break method was better than mine.
I'm so glad the newer sensors don't have that icky screw in the back that is difficult to reach or the bulbous rubber nipple that requires cuttin it off and a valve puller to install a new one. The newer TPMS sensors just have a simple nut to fasten them and a screw-on shroud over it. Easy peasy. Not sure why they even engineer the older ones that way.
One of the best DYI videos I have seen. Execellent on details and explation.
Well done! Your video is very informative and the angles are well placed, allowing your audience to see exactly what you are doing. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the video. I have a 2012 jeep liberty with air pressure light constantly on lol.
You’re welcome! I hope this video inspires you to take a swag at it.
This is very helpful! Thank you! I will be trying this fix for myself soon now that I’ve been armed with this information.
The more you do, the easier it gets! Good luck and reach out if you have any questions.
Nice video its great to see others fixing their own cars. A little helpful advice when loosing up the lug nuts position breaker bar so you are push down using your weight not lifting up on the breaker bar. take advantage of you weight and gravity. You did do that when tightening the lug nuts back on.
Thanks for the tip, but I respectfully disagree. When loosening anything I prefer to pull. It’s safer and more controlled than pushing especially when you don’t know the amount of effort it will take to break. It helps keep me out of the busted knuckles club. 👊🏻
@@BecauseAdventure no problem to each their own . I have had lug nuts put on so tight by others I had to stand on the breaker bar to get them loose and I weight 250 pounds. Im not sure you could pull up with them being on that tight. My backs not that good Im always looking for ways to work smarter rather than harder.
I have used you method before to break beads. Its a little harder on low profile tires with small side walls. I use the full weight of my jeep with the rear lifted off the ground then lowered on the side wall. it did break the bead but took the full rear weight of my jeep.
Yup, lots of knuckleheads out there that don’t bother with torque specs. One of the reasons I do what I can myself. In cases like you described, you have to do what you have to do.
Interesting to see that your theory on location was correct.
It would be nice if the scan tool would give a better explanation. A better scanner might give more conclusive information. I just did what I believed made sense.
Nice job...only thing that concerns me is crushing the tire with the scissor jack damaging the steel belts.
It’s a good concern to have although it’s been my experience that the tires are pretty durable and never personally had an issue.
Great video. Do you really need those 2 blocks of wood? Can you place the scissors jack directly on the tire? It looks like the jack surface is about the same as the wood blocks.
You probably don’t need them if the jack base is small. If the push area is too large the tire will lift off the ground on the opposite side instead of pushing the bead off the rim.
Thank you for sharing. This is going to help me tremendously.
Thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your project!
315 MHz for years 2007-2012. 433 MHz for years 2013-2020. Years 2009 & 2010 use both 315 MHz and 433 MHz frequencies.
great video brother. Where did you get that scanner
ODB JScan is an app for your phone or tablet that can be purchased through the app store and is only to be used with Jeep, Dodge, RAM & Chrysler vehicles. License are $21 for each vehicle. A WIFI or Bluetooth OBD2 Adapter is also required to allow the app to communicate to the vehicle ECU and can be purchased from Amazon or auto parts store for about $30. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video and I hope you found it informative and helpful. Thank You for the kind words and I hope you consider subscribing to the channel!
Great video, very useful.
Excellent video! Very helpful! Are the new sensors designated 1,2,3,4 so that when you replace number 2 like in the video the vehicle will know the position of each sensor? It seems that there must be some difference between each sensor as it was able to tell you sensor number 2 had failed.
No, they are not numbered. The position is what is numbered:
DF = 1
PF = 2
DR = 3
PR = 4
At least that was my experience. The sensors self register with the wireless controller and the controller knows from what position the signals are coming from. At least that’s my understanding of it.
@@BecauseAdventure that makes sense I think. After I asked, I got to thinking about what happens when the tires are rotated. There must be some way the receiver identifies the position of each wheel.
I have a 2010 Liberty. The warning light has been on for a long time and I expect the batteries are dead on all my sensors so I plan to replace all of them. Do you know if there is one in the spare tire too?
I can’t say for sure, but since the spare is just exactly that, I did not bother to investigate. Come to think of it, I’ve been lucky and never had to use the spare.
Brief summary. Cut the rubber ring on the inside to slide the old stem out
Two questions, can you get this type of scanner that will work with all cars and does it program the new sensor? Great video for future reference.
Unfortunately, OBD JScan is only for Jeep, RAM & Dodge vehicles.
OBD JScan does not program the sensors. It’s been my experience that the ECU has the programmed limits and the sensors only provide data. I have heard that some sensors need to be woke up during installation and a cheap tool ($10/$20) is required for that, but otherwise no “programming” is required.
Great questions and I hope that my answers help!
@@BecauseAdventure Appreciate the reply and if nothing else it helped with the breakdown of the tire. Have a great weekend.
Hi, thanks for sharing. i've replaced all my sensors and do many rides but the tpms light is still blinking. how the sensor knows that is placed into the wheel and not in the shelf? do the sensors need an activation or the vehicule needs a relearn procedure of the new sensors? thanks again and really appreciate your replies.
I have heard that some sensors need to be woken up with an electronic tool while others are woken by rotating. I’ve only used the kind that wake up with rotation. You will have to investigate your sensors and what is required to wake them.
Great video.I am writing to you from Italy. I also have a 2012 Cherokee KK diesel 2.8 200hp I also have this problem. In Italy each sensor costs about 132 euros. An excessive price. I wanted to know if the codes you posted (56029465AB 56029479AA 56029479AB 56053030AB) refer to each single sensor or are they codes that refer to interchangeable sensors? Sorry for my English. Thanks for the video and for your possible answer. Ciao!
Hello and thanks for the kind words! The codes as you say are the Mopar part numbers that the sensor posted is a replacement for. They are not individual part numbers for the four wheels. All wheels will have the same part number, but that number may very depending on the model or year of the vehicle. I hope that makes sense. I’m assuming that the 132e is for original replacements. You should find aftermarket ones for a lot less. Just make sure they are the correct frequency - 315mhz
Did you program any of the sensors to the car after installing?
No, they do not need to be programmed.
Well done and informative vid 👍🏽
Ok so I bought the sensor but I was told it needs to be programmed first. How do you program it please?
Sorry for the late response! No need to program! The sensors simply broadcast the pressure information to the wireless control module. Install them and they should update the ECU within a few blocks of driving. If your tire pressures is within specifications your indicator light will turn off.
very helpful video with the KK model. Wonder if you can upload correct way to install a front Seatbelts also on KK model. Tks
Glad to hear that you found the video helpful. Fortunately, I’ve never had to mess with the seatbelts.
Do you have link to those sensors. I am in need of a set.
MOTOALL 4 Packs Tire Pressure Monitor System Sensor TPMS Fits for 2005-2012 Chrysler Dodge Jeep 56029465AB 56029479AA 56029479AB 56053030AB a.co/d/9xRaLqJ
Unfortunately, they are unavailable right now, but I’m sure you can find a suitable substitution. Just make sure the frequency matches.
Mine comes on randomly with a red light in the middle of the dash. Not sure what that could be?
The red light is the security system. If both are coming on at the exact same time it’s probably an issue with the Wireless Control Module (WCM). Do you have any issues with your keys not working (engine not starting) or engine shutting off unexpectedly?
What TPMS sensor was that, that didn’t require a tool to activate it.
a.co/d/cPtGddo - unfortunately no longer available from Amazon.
What do you do next to "program" the new sensor?
Just drive the vehicle. They will sync with the PCM on their own. No physical programming needed.
@@BecauseAdventure thanks man!
Need to drive for a couple miles to have sensors activate and get picked up by computer.
Can I replace just one? Or do I need to do all 4?
You can replace just one. Just know that once one fails, the others will follow suit since they are battery powered.
If it flashes then the TPMS battery needs to be replaced
I’m not sure what you mean can you elaborate? I don’t think you can replace the battery as they are sealed in epoxy, at least the ones I’ve seen.
@@BecauseAdventure If it flashes three times and then stays lit that’s an indication the battery is going and on some you can replace but those that are encased in epoxy just have to be replaced entirely.
I did not know about the flashing indicating a faulty sensor. I used the OBD JScan App to confirm and the App let’s you know which one is faulty.
You think this install would be very similar for a 2015 grand Cherokee?
Yes, just make sure that the sensor’s you buy are the correct frequency.
Got my own sensors went to tire shop $80 bucks installed vs hurting my back
That works too!
Maybe make the music louder...
Sorry to hear that you’re dissatisfied with my video ☹️
que modelo e stu escanner
In this case I used the BAFX WIFI OBD2 wireless adapter, Jscan app & iPhone. Jscan has tested, compatible adapters listed in the app & on their website. Make sure you get one that is also compatible with your iPhone or android phone.

WHAT TODAYS CARS NEED ARE MANY MORE SENSORS , MORE COMPUTERS , ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WITH COMPUTERS TO CHECK COMPUTERS WITH MORE SENSORS !!
While I agree with your sarcasm, TPMS is one of the better systems to be added to automobiles, in my opinion. That’s why I went through the trouble of replacing them instead of just disabling them.
Why can't you just leave the sensor out? put old school valve stems and alleviate the problem once and for all? I remember when tires were tires, men were men, (and the sheep ran scared). more electronics to go wrong. Leave them out your problem is solved for life. Now just find out how to get rid of the light on the dash by pulling the wire off the bulb? The more electronics, the more to go wrong. waiting for you opinion.....
oh buy the way, the money I save on TPMS sensors I can buy an air compressor for the garage.........I may be ugly, but I'm kinda smart.
You certainly can leave them out and even disable the dash light using a wireless OBD2 adapter & JScan app. I choose to keep the vehicle safety systems working as intended and made this video to help others do the same if they choose. I personally think that tire sensors are a great addition to the safety system and definitely contribute to keeping the vehicle safer and efficient. But hey, that’s just my opinion so enjoy checking your tires and your compressor.
Why can't you leave the engine out and pedal the damn thing or hook up an Ox to it...that's how real men did it before your kind of panzies came around and wanted to just push a pedal down to make things move...I might be dumb, but at least I'm pretty.
Helpful information! I've left mine out for years, and this video confirmed I don't want to change them at all, but good to know I can disable the dash light to stop the constant annoyance!
Jeep's are junk.
Some of the worst quality vehicles made.
Dang! Sorry to hear that you had a poor experience! I can’t say that I agree with you though.
@@BecauseAdventure
Worse than ever since they're Fiat's now.
Never owned & never will.
Actually, Stellantis owns the Jeep brand now so the Fiat reference is dated. I’ve owned 4 Jeeps over the years and believe that the quality of the FCA builds were almost to the same level as the Diamler builds which were hands down the best for the brand. I’ve just ordered a 2022 so time will tell as to how the quality of the Stellantis build is. If I have issues you’ll be sure to see a video about it so don’t forget to subscribe!
@@BecauseAdventure
A Jeep Renegade is basically a Fiat 500.
They've been using Fiat parts/technology on most Jeeps/Chrysler/Dodge.
Stellantis,yes.
All Srellantis brands are poor quality.
