This video will demonstrate a process to replace TPMS Sensors using basic hand tools at home.
Not 30 miles into a recent road trip in our 2011 Jeep Liberty, the TPMS displayed a warning light. I pulled of the freeway, checked all four tires and found the system to be in error. We continued on our way keeping a cautious eye on things. After we concluded our 2000 mile round trip, I took a deeper dive into what the issue might be…
With the help of a WIFI OBD2 adapter and the OBD JScan App I was able to confirm that one sensor is bad.

sometimes i watch a video to figure out how to fix something myself. other times i learn that i have no desire to do it myself. thank you sir for leading me to the latter conclusion.
I bit the bullet and bought the Autel TS501. I was able to buy their sensors and copy the ID# from the old sensor to the new one. My 2011 Grand Caravan never knew that the sensor was changed. The Autel was expensive, but very valuable. I had sensors that would quit intermittently but work fine at the tire shop. I was able to stop on the side of the road when light came out and find out which sensor was the troublemaker. I went ahead and did all 4 anyway after a few weeks aftera 2nd one failed. They were all from 2011, so if they weren't going bad, they were on borrowed time. Great video. Your bead break method was better than mine.
Nice video its great to see others fixing their own cars. A little helpful advice when loosing up the lug nuts position breaker bar so you are push down using your weight not lifting up on the breaker bar. take advantage of you weight and gravity. You did do that when tightening the lug nuts back on.
WHAT TODAYS CARS NEED ARE MANY MORE SENSORS , MORE COMPUTERS , ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WITH COMPUTERS TO CHECK COMPUTERS WITH MORE SENSORS !!
What do you do next to "program" the new sensor?
Did you program any of the sensors to the car after installing?
Great video !
Already ordered 4 new sensors for my Liberty ..
A little info and tips for you guys;
The sensors are numbered as the door latches, which states:
1 – Front Left, 2 – Front Right, 3 – Rear Right, 4 – Rear Left.
Another great tip is to take a picture of the back of the sensors before installing, then – if the system won't recognise them – just put them in by their ID using alfaOBD or Jscan or Autel ..
Hope this helps š
Thank you for sharing. This is going to help me tremendously.
You think this install would be very similar for a 2015 grand Cherokee?
Nice job…only thing that concerns me is crushing the tire with the scissor jack damaging the steel belts.
Ok so I bought the sensor but I was told it needs to be programmed first. How do you program it please?
Thanks for the video. I have a 2012 jeep liberty with air pressure light constantly on lol.
Maybe make the music louder…
Great video.I am writing to you from Italy. I also have a 2012 Cherokee KK diesel 2.8 200hp I also have this problem. In Italy each sensor costs about 132 euros. An excessive price. I wanted to know if the codes you posted (56029465AB 56029479AA 56029479AB 56053030AB) refer to each single sensor or are they codes that refer to interchangeable sensors? Sorry for my English. Thanks for the video and for your possible answer. Ciao!
Do you have link to those sensors. I am in need of a set.
I'm so glad the newer sensors don't have that icky screw in the back that is difficult to reach or the bulbous rubber nipple that requires cuttin it off and a valve puller to install a new one. The newer TPMS sensors just have a simple nut to fasten them and a screw-on shroud over it. Easy peasy. Not sure why they even engineer the older ones that way.
Why can't you just leave the sensor out? put old school valve stems and alleviate the problem once and for all? I remember when tires were tires, men were men, (and the sheep ran scared). more electronics to go wrong. Leave them out your problem is solved for life. Now just find out how to get rid of the light on the dash by pulling the wire off the bulb? The more electronics, the more to go wrong. waiting for you opinion…..
oh buy the way, the money I save on TPMS sensors I can buy an air compressor for the garage………I may be ugly, but I'm kinda smart.
Great video. Do you really need those 2 blocks of wood? Can you place the scissors jack directly on the tire? It looks like the jack surface is about the same as the wood blocks.
Well done! Your video is very informative and the angles are well placed, allowing your audience to see exactly what you are doing. Keep up the great work!
