TPMS (TIS) sensors for trailer (SOLVED - see 1st post) aka TTPMS - Trailer TPMS
- Thread starter ghaynes754
- Start date
I completed my install yesterday. As previously reported the tire pressure monitor settings did not appear on my UConnect screen. I worked on installing my onboard ARB V Twin air compressor and by the end of the day the tire pressure settings still had not showed up. I could not find the fuse so I just left it overnight. This morning it showed up under the trailer settings and I was able to configure the sensors as expected.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible!!!

Quick question for any of you all who have chased wiring in the head liner. I have a squeak that makes noise just behind my head, in liner and when it does it , I just push the head liner up toward the roof and it quits. It's like its loose where it may clip in up there, don't know, any ideas to you all who have gotten them down as to what's up in the ceiling behind drivers head. Yes I know this is a ttpms thread and I'm being a high jacking jerk but I've seen you guys discuss what's above the head liner numerous times so I figure you all know best
I have a little dog that barks at the rattle in her head.
Hey, i do that to, after a few drinks anyway

I've gathered up some of the parts for the TTPMS, and waiting on some parts back ordered. With AlfaOBD do you have to have a factory vehicle pin number to access the vehicles software components? I read on another forum something about having to go to the dealer to get the pin number.
No, no pin needed, for the ttpms

Don’t worry about the PIN, it’s not needed for changes to the BCM. On the 4th gens, the PIN is needed for any changes that have to do with the RF Hub, like tire threshold changes, programming a key fob, reset/replace the RF Hub, etc. For these 2019+ RF Hubs, they require a live connection to dealer connect to be able to utilize a rolling PIN- therefore, AlfaOBD can not program a fob. These new RF Hubs also automatically recognize tire pressure threshold changes in the BCM, so no need to reset the hub anymore.

I don't think anyone has been in the headliner much beyond the location for the TTPMS module.
For further questions, I suggest you start your own thread.
Finished the install and setup this weekend of the trailer TPMS with some assistance from Discount tire (only some as they can only inflate tires to 90lbs and my trailer tires need 95. after filling at home the programming was as easy as could be. Thanks to all on this Forum for the information to make it happen

First of all, you are all geniuses for figuring this out. Very impressive.
Do you think it is worth the effort and cost versus buying an after market system? What are the advantages/disadvantages of using the Ram system? Obviously it is nice to not have a separate display, but is the system any better?
The advantages I see with after market systems is cost, ease of installation, and the ability to transfer the sensors to another trailer with almost no effort.
As cool as it would be to install the Ram system, it seems like a pita and perhaps not worth the effort.
Appreciate any thoughts.

I had the after market for 3yrs and enjoyed it but was aggravated at times with dying batteries and poor connections from batteries. Then there was the minor inconvenience of having to get your special wrench out every time to remove sensors to put air into tire.
I ordered my new truck with the ttpms at sale of vehicle and I couldn't be happier. They work perfectly, very reliable like with your tow vehicle. Nice to reduce another item cluttering up inside your vehicle. When were traveling and i check my truck tires, I just scroll down and also check trailer tires. The down side is there is no temp reading on the factory model wich is a big minus imop. Also not convienant for a ful time rvrs to have to take wheels off and take them in to have valve stems installed.
I have zero experience with the after the sale installation of the ttpms sale but I agree it does sound involved and possibly not worth the work for what's involved. I'm extremely satisfied with my factory ordered version.
How big is that tank and what value did you use? @Phil T is having issues setting it higher than 194 liters for a 62(?) gal tank.
I have a 50 gallon tank so I set it at 189.27 liters. I have taken several trips with and without the 5th wheel and the new DTE seems spot on.

Does anyone have the actual part numbers for the RAM TTPMS? I ask the dealer parts person to looking if it was available yet and if it could be put on to my 2020 Ram 2500. They said they could not find anything on it. Appreciate if anyone has anything on this.
