Are new TPMS required?

Shadow007 · 01-14-2013, 04:53 PM

What's going on everybody? Quick random/noobish question, that I wanted to know, is it required to by new tpms for wheels or can I just use the existing tpms, I have on factory wheels? Im keeping the same size 18s so I didnt think I would need to purchase new, since the ones I have are in good conditions. Thanks

You can use what you have over and over again with different size wheels no biggie.

Ok, awesome I appreciate it, I didnt know if I would have to purchase new tire sensors because of new wheels. Well that definitly saved me a few extra bucks I didnt have to spend.

You can always use the original tpms, but please remember the sensor has it's life span (battery).
You might consider buying new tpms together with new wheels to avoid future troublesome.

What about not using them at all? With JB4 code clear? Are they necessary at all?

Can JB4 clear those codes? I have JB4 and it autoclears engine codes, but I do get the TPMS light once in a while when it gets cold and pressure drops.
