I bought a whole new set off eBay for my winter tires. Installed them in the winter rims and they work flawlessly. Don’t even have to reprogram anything when I change tires each season. Jeep learns the new sensors without missing a beat.

So... yes, you can definitely replace them and the Jeep will learn the new sensor on its own without any programming at all.

Yes hard part is the tire thing. A tire shop will remove the tire, replace the sensor, clean it up, and install/balance the tire. Local tire shop charged me $20 labor to do one (I provided the sensor). They like to sell you their sensor, however.

If the sensor/stem is corroded you may have to cut it off. Recommend OEM sensors as those seem to be less trouble. Often you find them on eBay for a good price. The OEM sensors may be loosing battery charge, it may be prudent to change them all... but many here just live with the icon.

The bad sensor probably has a marginal battery, it should eventually die altogether, especially in colder weather.

They did it for me, and it leaked, twice, two tires.
No need to remove the tire, you can remove the sensor and install by just press the tire off the bead.
No need to balance, neither

 

I did it last week.
Not too bad.

 

If your tires are still balanced, a good local shop will just mark the tires and wheels and they'll swap out the sensors. I bought a set from ebay that I had installed on the wrangler wheels..

 

Thanks for the replies. going to order sensor today. Still not sure if I will do it myself or just have a tire shop do it.

 

I purchased 4 sensors off ebay and one finally failed after 3 years. I went to my local Discount Tire and paid the same amount for one sensor as I did the 4 from ebay, but it carries a warranty through them, so I figured it was worth it.

I personally wouldn't mess with it, they'll change it out for cheap and have the proper tools.

 

Today I had a local tire shop replace the tire sensor. $18 bucks good deal.

 

TPMS replaced

my WK2 Limited 2012, got rear left TPMS error one day. It trigger error message on the dash, and keep blinking att the time. Go to dealership, and replacement part cost me $110, refused, and go to amazon and found $14 oem part. Bought it and bring to local tyre shop, and got it replaced. Run the car, within minutes the error message dissapear. Computer sensing the new TPMS quickly, no relearn procedure required

 

I too have purchased sensors online, and they've worked great. However, I've been in a couple of tire shops recently that had posted signs saying they will no longer install carry-in sensors, only the ones they sell (even a shop that did this for me previously). I guess they're missing the markup on these parts. So I guess before you buy, make sure you can get them installed.

 

haha...I guess no one want to buy tpms sensor from dealership...too expensive =)
many china oem tpms in amazon, $10-$15 only and works perfectly
