Hi, quick question, which I may answer myself.....
The tyre pressure sensors in my Jeep are wireless, obviously.
When I rotate my tires, how do the sensors align up again with the display?
I think a NFC (near field connection) receiver placed near each wheel so as to pick up informati9n for the nearest wheel.
Is that right?
Thanks

Usually they communicate with an in cabin module, typically the BCM (body control module), although I'm not sure which module Jeeps use.

My 300srt8, ram 2500 and track hawk all reset themselves automatically after a drive.
No need to program any of them in.
I suspect the system knows the new locations from response times to a ping.
Either that or its magic.....
All were premium tpms systems...

I'm going with magic, or witchcraft!
Ping times between wheels wouldnt vary too much, then if it dropped a ping, would it think your tyre was on the in the next lane? lol.
Interesting.

or......
gotta love google. Just need to ask it the right question.

Im interested how they work and what frequency they radiate at and the distance covered like do they interfere with others on a motorway when all cars are travelling at the same speed and distance from each other or if you park up next to someone elses sensors ?
Generally I can tell what the pressure is in a tyre and what tyre it is when I ask the mechanic to check the tyres, his location when he yell out the pressures is usually a good indicator......................................... Runs hides.
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
They usually work on 433MHZ and send a burst of data that contains the sensor ID / Tire pressure / Temp etc.. these bursts normally happen during tire rotation i.e. when driving every so often or when the pressure drops suddenly, the vehicle is programmed with the sensor id so will only respond to the sensors that are installed/programmed to the vehicle.
They also respond to a 125khz signal to activate if you don't want to deflate the tire, we would do this with an audio amp and a coil of wire around the sensor with a signal generator connected to the audio amp to play around with them. Probably not all sensors but the Holden ones we were playing around with activated.

My query though, is when the mechanic rotates the tyres during a service, the front left becomes the rear right, the front right becomes the spare and so on.
Yet the tyre pressure display on the dashboard will work out the correct tyre position.
No reprogramming occurs manually.
I also believe activation is due to rotation which triggers a centrifugal switch.
I’m back on the black magic, witchcraft path again.

If the mechanic retraining the TPMS after rotation?
edit: not all vehicles require retraining - they do it themselves (I can explain that to you =)
