In this video we do a brief introduction to the Land Rover / Range Rover Tyre Pressure Monitoring System ( TPMS ) and look how to replace a leaking valve stem. The valve stem can be separated from the actual TPMS sensor so you can replace the valve seals without needing to replace the actual TPMS sensor.LR043162

I've seen in a few places on the interwebs, that the wiring on the LRs are usually in place, for the TMPS, but the sensors are fitted or not. I've not looked on my 2011 Disco 4, but assuming they're there, and I plug the sensors in, could you investigate if it can all be turned on with the OBD tool? It'd cost a bit for me to do it and find out it won't work!
Great video very interesting, always wondered they worked
Hi Simon, I’ve got a 2015 RRS HSE, I’m wondering what gets involved if I want to add the tyre pressure monitoring system to my car if it’s not equipped with this system at all from factory. Thanks!
Simon you made a simple thing interesting the mystery of TPM now expanded 🙂
On the Jag you have a TPMS loop in each wheel arch that communicates with the censor.
Maybe redo this video. A lot of incorrect information here.
Like a comment from Kenny G on here about 3 years ago I had a TPMS issue with 2014 RRS when upgrading new wheels and tyres fitted with their own sensors. A local LR Main dealer wanted £240 to “code” my new oem alloys with their own tpms fitted.
Instead I put the old tpms units from my cars original alloys inside the new upgraded wheels. Sorted for a fraction of the cost by my regular tyre shop.
I think our 2014 RRS had issues with probably the newer gen of TPMS units. The tyre shop was new to tpms issues. But said Porsche’s they store winter wheel/tyres for owners just swap straight over no issues. It was three years ago so prob more is known about these devices now like you are doing here.
Cheers
.. so … at the end of the day it doesn't matter where inside the tyre the sensor is situated .. it would work.
The ONLY reason for the special valve is to hold the sensor in a fixed position so that it's not rolling around freely inside the tube.
Simon, the BMW Mini used a cunning system for TPMS by using the ABS speed sensors, but I guess they use conventional sensors now. If a tyre lost pressure that wheel then rotated faster and triggered the warning. A reset button below the handbrake lever recalibrated each time you reset the tyre pressures.
Simon, you are more entertaining than Jeremy Clarkson!
I believe that the sensor is long life battery powered. The battery is not replaceable. The complete transducer has to be replaced. The piezoelectric transducer switches the sensor on when the vehicle is in motion and off to save power when stopped.
Picture 2 on the card is a tyre machine.
great info video as always guys..take it that is the new turbine alloys your putting on your sport..22" by any chance??..got them on mine look mint
I think the chamfer on the washer goes outward so when blowing the tyre backup it rides up it onto the rim just a thought good video stay safe
