Anyone know if you have to have all 4 TPMS sensors fitted for it to recognise them?
I've 4 off-road tyres fitted without TPMS (but intend to get them fitted). BUT: Have just fitted a genuine LR TPMS to the spare wheel, replaced (ONLY) the offside rear wheel with the TPMS-fitted spare, gone for a drive and not recognised at all. All 4 wheels still showing as an "X". |

Did you ever sort this out?
l've just fitted four new "take off" wheels with tyres to my 2022 Defender. They are the same steel wheels as l already had, but with the Goodyear Wrangler Adventure tyres. All four wheels are showing an X on the display and the TPMS light is on. lt's clearly not detected the new wheels for some reason. The next job is to take the tyres off and change the sensors but l just wanted to ask how you eventually fixed your TPMS. |

Yes, I did. I got some aftermarket TPMS sensors and fitted them. Strangely they didn't work at first but started working on the way home from an appointment with the dealership.
Are you sure you have TPMS sensors? I know that my new wheels didn't when I bought them for a bargain price hence the need to fit new TPMS sensors. |

Thank you for the reply.
The sensors are most likely missing as you say. l am going to get them swapped over from my old wheels. |

Just to update this, l had the sensors fitted from my old wheels and now everything is okay.
Be aware when buying "bargain" wheels and tyres on Ebay, that they often come without TPMS sensors as the seller will have had them swapped over to their new wheels. Often the listing won't mention this, so ask the seller and then you've got a comeback if they aren't fitted. (there's no way to tell unless you either break the bead on a tyre and have a look, or fit them and go for a drive) l fell into this trap and the seller refused to do anything. l never thought to ask if the sensors were fitted. Fortunately my local friendly tyre place only charged me £40 to swap them over. I was quoted £120 but a mobile tyre fitter. The wheels generally won't need to be balanced again when the sensors are refitted. |
