Let me explain what I need to know. I have 8 rims and tires, four winter and 4 summer all have tpms and the original one work but not the replacement ones even though they came off a 2015 cherokee, I own a 2015 renegade. When i turn the key on a warning comes on telling me to service my tpms, after starting the tire low air indicator symbol blinks for about 2 min. then stays on. Is it a fault?

FCA vehicles have a watershed where they switched from one TPMS sensor setup to another. a 2015 cherokee should have the same as the renegade. When swapping tires, you should get an error once the originals are out of range. After a while, the new set should pair. Until that point expect to see an error. It is not instantaneous. THe speculation is ~20-25 minutes of continuous operation. TPMS prior to that switchover have to be paired to the car by a dealer. After, there is auto discovery of a sort.

That's what should happen. I haven't tried it yet.

NTB. A proper tpms scanner is necessary to relearn sensors. Most shops have a good 1. We just got a fairly pricey 1, and it's too strong sometimes (it sets off more than the sensor it's scanning) ATEQ is the better kind of scanners.

Now as I understand the process or at least I think I do a person will need two types of sensors, one to Id the sensor and the other one to upload that info on to the auto. If anyone out there that can help with this I will welcome it.

With the correct frequency of sensor (only 1 works) you can clone from another sensor, and write that info to the new sensor. Typically we have a direct replacement so no cloning needed, just plug and relearn and you're good to go.

Low tire pressure warning message

It was a bit chilly today so when I got the Reni and drove about a mile or so, I got a warning in the dash that my front right tire has low pressure.
Indeed the pressure had dropped at 29psi ( I think that it has to be 30 or above), but as I said, that was because of the cold morning.
I topped up the air in the tire up to 34 but I still get the warning message.

Is there anything else I should do?
Do I have to drive for some miles in order the TPMS sensor to reset?
Or should I put more air in it?

The sensor must not be faulty as it shows the correct reading (it was at 29 and now it shows 34).
So either the TPMS sensor has to reset after some miles or I have to go to the dealer to erase the warning from the dash (?).

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanx

The warning should clear itself. You may need to put a couple of miles on it. Don't use the pressure display in place of a tire pressure gauge. It is not that accurate (it has low resolution).

It won't clear itself. The offending tire has to be brought up to at least 35 psi, as measured by the TPMS, before the warning will go away.

Thank you so much. I will try it and let you know.
Is this valid for all tires? I mean both front and back?

I believe that the front tires should be at least 35 (as you said) but the back tires could be below 35 and not show a warning message.

How much PSI do you have in your tires? I have the 18" wheels (Limited edition) 225/55/18

Tire pressure should be set to what the door sticker says. But pressure will go up or down depending on temperature. The warning will come on when a tire reads 29 psi or lower. To reset that tire or tires, the TPMS system has to see at least 35 psi.
