Ram 1500 TPMS Issues

Please hit that subscribe button for more updates
I wanted to show you guys the location of the TPMS module on the 2013-2018 Ram 1500 and possible problems with TPMS system. Dealer wanted $600 for a new tire pressure monitoring module and I was told that my had failed. Reality was the technicians never even actually touched it and it was very dirty.
Symptoms: wheels reading the wrong spot or wheels not showing at all.
Update: I am working with a few others to try and locate the module on the 2014-18 ram...I’ll post on here when I have that info
Update: I have searched all over my 2019 Ram and can’t find the tpms module, I also reached out to the dealer and to FCA directly and they wouldn’t give me the location either...I’m going to keep trying to find for you guys.

I have a 13 1500 with a 5.7 and I just did this last night. Disconnected and sprayed some electronic cleaner. Since last night I’ve driven over 100 miles. Light is no longer flashing. Hopefully it stays this way. Thanks man!

[@dianajasminmontejanoacosta2741]

Where electronic cleaner did you buy?

[@1957kwick]

I just bought a one owner 2015 ram R/T single cab and I found out through research that dealers are charging upwards of 5 to 6 hundred dollars just to change the spark plugs on one. That’s ridiculous .I’m glad there are guys like you to better educate ram owners and do it yourselfers like me and save us a lot of money at the same time. And changing the plugs on one of these really isn’t that difficult and certainly not worth 6 hundred dollars. Thanks man appreciate your help! 👍🇺🇸🛠

[@thebluecat343]

16 plugs is why and a special tool is required for one lol

[@williammuter9481]

Great video! Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought they'd have mounted it there. Thanks for the help.

[@crystalwood4502]

Thank you for putting this video out!!! My husband done crushed his iPhone and all kinds of things went wrong for him while he was scoping out this problem. Said he searched the internet for 45 minutes googling the specific code and couldn’t find anything. I google searched and this was the second video after the dealer video on the TPMS Sensors only. Helpful for off-road drivers!!!

[@baggchasser55]

I just bought my first truck. I love Ram.! I appreciate this video. When I first bought the truck I said that I would do everything to keep it in good condition. I bought it at a used car lot. The ABS light was on along with the brake light and tire light. I just paid 617 to have to replace my abs sensors!!!! I diffidently will continued watch your channel!! Thanks

[@philisledbetter4412]

I put new wheels and tires on my 2024 Power Wagon. 17’ to 20 with 35” and the first thing that happened is the front left tire with the same error message. So it is at Dodge dealer and thank you because I’ll no doubt get that bill you mentioned and I’ll be so much lighter by much more than $600 hundred bucks. At least I have some ammo now to protest this. Thanks.

[@alfrealfrecastro2754]

I had the same thing for a month and I cleaned the cables, I bought a liquid to clean electrical cables, thank you, it was very useful, my sensors are all new and the mechanic said I'll give you a diagnosis for 150 dollars, I only bought the electrical cable cleaning liquid, I only paid 10 dollars I'll give you a thousand likes  Comentarios

Thanks for the info. I bought new tires and the left front sensor no longer works. Took it back to the tire shop twice. They replaced the module and still no reset. I'll follow your guidance. Thanks.

[@mechanicaldave7981]

I’ve got 2016 ram sport, with push button. I just got the truck apart and I think your truck is Non button start? If non push button start you have that tpms module but if you do have Push button start tpms is actually doing ALL communication via the RF HUB that is located behind driver rear seat on wall.

[@brentsmith9967]

doing what you are doing is great knowing where to find these sensers is really helpful there isn't too much online thank you

I know you commented 5 months ago but is it in the same spot for the ‘19? I changed my tires & rims and my gas mileage has gone down like crazy ever since.

[@Rocknranchman]

Good video, informative, explained well, kept it short! Good job! 👍

[@Off-Grid]

Thanks! My tire pressure has been going crazy the last week showing low tire pressure on one tire them all the sudden it's another wheel. Sometimes it shows two wheels are low when they are not. I'll try to clean it up and see what happens

[@Postthisvideo]

May want to check with whomever did service on your tires last. Some vehicles fail to relearn the new position of the tires if they were changed from their original position and will need to be re-synched to the cars computer.

[@user-go7ph4jv6e]

Great!!! I have issues with tpms sensor dont recognize rear right wheel. Its new the sensor

[@rodgerbagwell7643]

As soon as all this snow melts I am going to try this to see if it will fix my issue

[@DanMcD80]

Obs jscan app and obd link mx+ and you can adjust your min pressures as well as thresholds

[@dab4562]

I Don't work for dealers nor independent shops. However $600 to do the work is reasonable. Each sensor installed in a wheel is about $75 and the reciever module installed another $300. They have to do some programming so yeah $600 sounds good. Although only one sensor is bad you know the other 3 will follow or die (they operate on a small battery) so you might as well do all. For most of us cleaning the tpm connector will not solve the problem and for few the problem is going to be the wiring harness. Of course if you can work on cars you should do it yourself. But most cars require a special tool for tpms so you need to buy that for few hundred $$$. I personally think this job is best done at a reputable tire store...they probably know more than dealers and would be cheaper. I HAVE SPOKEN!

[@scotturich]

The point of the video was the tpms system wasn’t bad, because would have wasted $600 on just module then still had to pay for the sensors in each wheel which would have made it close to $1k. All because the dealer was too lazy to actually figure out why it wasn’t communicating.

[@Schiavoni85]

Thanks man! My LR has been on causing issues with state inspections. My truck is a conversion from dealer with 6” lift and 37’s but it’s a dealer conversion so I was raged when this has been off and on issue...

[@DankyDankerson69]

What state you in ?

[@mikeblackford994]

My 1rst TPMS rig...2500 4x4 diesel... How did they manage to shove shit like this down our throats? Any truck owner with .001% of a brain knows to check tire pressure and not just kick or eye ball it. We went from hot summer to cool fall over night in Kingman, AZ and OF COURSE my TPMS showed a low tire pressure on the left rear. I wish I could get shed of all this shit. Good vid...thanks.

[@scotturich]

100% AGREEE......They have over complicated something we have been doing for 90 years....Check your tires

[@j.beasley5829]

Thanks for the video, my 2012 ram 1500 shows two dashes for each wheel on the instrument panel, all tire tpms valves are working. I tried unplugging and cleaning the connectors on the tpms module, but still not showing tire pressures. Did you have to drive it for a while or did it start working immediately after you cleaned yours?

[@brandonbentz1209]

Thanks for the tip. Going to try this on my truck.

[@stevebastin9982]

Really good video very intuitive listen other guys on here running the truck from dealer to dealer trying to get that little light to go off when in reality like you said either there’s mud on their modular or they let your tire get low and broke the sensor I had new tires put on and one valve stem was bad in less than an hour my tire was flat I drove it a little bit but broke the sensor the light would never go off until I put a new sensor on no you’re right I need to inform these other guys No you may be just the center they’re trying to reset reprogram and everything they can when they don’t think another sensor could be bad mostly if they let the tire and get Lil anyways thanks for the info to have a good one

[@Asteria70]

I've got a 2016 Ram quad cab1500. And my tpms module is not at that location.. already going on 6 months and it's driving me crazy. Tpms light is allways on.. but it's not reading the passenger rear tire.. the tires have been rotated already and still not reading at that location.. any help will be great

[@scotturich]

I don’t know if you have or not but have you had the tpms modules in each tire tested, your local tire shop will usually check them for free. The other thing that can be done is to take the battery terminal positive for few hours and see if the system resets good luck

[@Asteria70]

Hi thanks for responding back. Yes I've had the Tpms on all four tires tested and they said there reading good. They said it was the Tpms module. But I will have my brother disconnect the positive see if that works.. 😊 thanks

[@AbleMike5]

Need some help fam. I have a 2016, 1500 4wd sport. Four years ago I lifted the truck and added 35x12.50. A day later the front left sensor stop reading completely but the other three tires show a psi. Long story short all the sensors at all 4 wheels test fine- I have it checked twice actually. I figure it’s the control module. I get under the truck and the module is nowhere to be found, not even in the location in your video. Does anyone know where else it could be mounted??? FYI disconnecting battery resets everything and all four wheels show a reading, but after 20 miles the front left goes dead again.

Sender unit Thanks again Do you have any of these issues too...?

[@scotturich]

Javier Alonso no I never had any of those issues mine only had 130k when I traded it in and bought my 2019 (don’t buy the 2019) I know it sounds silly but check fuses first and if need to reset the whole computer there is cable under the driver dash near the pedals that should reset the whole system, I found once I pulled it and reset it that it fixed other issues, also just a simple obd dongle is good because you can reset the whole system as well

[@jayfoster8981]

I have a. 2009 Dodge Ram 1500.I can't find this on my model.Could it be in the wheels.TPMS light is blinking.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

[@scotturich]

It’s most likely in the wheels. I would take it to Discount Tire or tire shop and have them test the sensor. They will usually do it free and if it’s bad they can replace it for fraction of the cost a dealer would.

Hello, how many of this modules are there, one per wheel, one for each sensor inside the wheel?

One module but 4 sensors per wheel. You can take your truck or car to discount tire or tire shop and they will test sensors for free

[@rugby3874]

I got the same problem but my tpm is not where yours is

[@patvirgin8822]

Is this sensor four all four wheels? or just for the left front? I had new wheels and tires installed, went from 20's to 17's, had new sensor installed with the wheels, had them programmed to the truck, but the R/R won't stay activated, I rotated the tires to see if it was the tire or the truck and the problem stayed with R/R. Thanks for a good video,

[@scotturich]

The sensor system is for all 4 wheels, each wheel will have its own sensor that transmits back the central tpms box and then the ecu

[@78bdhkim]

Great video! I’ve been having this problem recently and dealer has fixed or reprogrammed for couple times and then finally replaced all sensors and module which took them several days. After all that, same problems. Tpms service required sign shows up and the numbers are not showing. Could it be module or the cpu at the dash? My front end is covered and I don’t go off-roading like you so I doubt that I have any issue of getting it dirty.

[@scotturich]

Brian Kim most likely it’s the module because that’s what tells the computer that you have wheel sensors, if it was the dash you would have a host of other problems. Which year do you have 2009-2013 on the front on the 2014-2018 they moved it. Best way to test is to unplug and start the vehicle and go for a drive then shut it back off plug it back in and go for another drive; also that will give you an opportunity to check the connector and make sure that it’s clean going into the module

[@scotturich]

Good poin

[@NJX-kj4fz]

I have a 2009 sxt 2500. The tpms module is called a wcm(wireless control module) or is integrated into the skreem. If you have a standard key then it is part of the skreem. The TRANSPONDERS are located behind both front fenderwells. I battled with my tpms for years and found my skreem module was sending 10v on the can, data line from the transponders resulting in c151d code( unable to locate tire position)

Hi Scott. I have a 2010 dodge ram 1500. So are you saying the TPMS module has to be changed if you have one tire not recording air pressure or do you just replace the sensor on the tire?

Generally that’s just a bad sensor. Go to tire shop and they will check it for free....if it comes back good then there is an issue with the module in most cases the connections are just dirty
