Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor

Your light stays on. Until you get a programmer like a procal to shut it off and set your pressure to zero

You get a little annoying light saying low tire pressure. If you get a procal from either superchips or aev you can turn it off

Or have them transfer the sensors to the new wheels if you not getting an online combo. They aren't a requirement but kind of nice to have with the 2013 and newer with each tire's pressure in the dash.
 
Just make sure you put the sensors back in the new tires or buy a tuner to shut the dash light off before you try to get it inspected. It won't pass with the TPMS dash light on. :yup:
 
I've heard California is now requiring vehicle inspections. I'd make sure they are not required for that before I toss them. Otherwise they are virtually useless.
 
Mine broke off on rocks. I'm used to the light and little dings from the Jeep everytime I start it, it doesn't bother me any more. I have been through smog several times now and it always passes. I guess it depends on your state. I also guess the guy who said it would not pass, knows Cali. laws on the subject.

How does a TPMS sensor break off? It's on the inside of the wheel. :thinking:
 
Yes, the valve stem. I have been taking 8 hour classes at work and my brain doesn't want to work. Not that it ever did ! But, at least you know how they broke now.

You're right..I guess I'll have tire shop pull them out and use them. It's nice not having to check my pressure as it's right there on my dash.
 
Just re-smogged here in CA without the sensors. Light was on, but still passed. They just put a comment on the paperwork.
