TPS with Beadlocks

[Nex]

Ok, what's the secret to calibrate the TPS sensors on beadlocks? Just installed Method 105s in 17" and the sensors are not registering in the cluster throwing an error. Tire pressures are set 34/36 because I am still towing the boat for another day.

They registered for a little while but have since stopped.

Uhhmmmm, sounds like dead batteries? They do fail after a while just like all batteries…

Brand new sensors with the new wheels this week. Think it might be hardware interference.

 

[TwizzleStix]

Maybe. The rings have a bunch of steel fasteners.

It’s odd that they worked for a while before failing. That says batteries, but not likely all 4.

Try using the TPMS tool to trigger the sensors manually to see if they’re even working.

Definitely a lot of grade 8 hardware.

gotta drive over 20mph for 20min and should reset and pickup the sensors, or you can press the hazard button 10 times with the key on and follow the prompts on the dash.. youll have to let air out or put air in after each horn chirp...

Well I drove over 4 hours Wednesday between 60-70 mph and still have the issue. Which is why I made this thread.

Are they the correct TPS, there are at least two types.

yeah, there are 2 for the 2017 MY, and it was no small feat to identify which ones I needed - apparently the less popular TPMS.

So, since these are new wheels, are they new tires as well?
if all the components are new, you have wheel, tire and tpms as variables.
if tires are the same, I’d lean toward sensor / battery.

I’ve not heard scores of folks whine about no TPMS on here, so I suspect something on the simpler side since these did work for a little bit.

perhaps it still had the reading from the old sensors...
