Tire rotation and TPMS question

Just curious how the TPMS works after I rotate tires. Do you have to recalibrate something to my truck reads the right tire PSI.

Thats a dag gum good question and i can't believe no body has yet to bring up. Good ????
 
On my '12 it would figure it out on its own after driving a few miles. I assume my '19 will do the same just haven't put enough miles on this truck to need to rotate yet.

You just drive it for about 10 miles and they will recalibrate to the proper wheel readings.
I have one TPMS that always reads 2 lbs lower then the actual pressure. I can rotate the tries and after a few miles the new location of that tire is lower then the rest by 2 lbs.
 
::in before Rich burns the thread down to the ground.

For duallies, the inner duallys have to stay on the rear and inside, so they can only roate left/right. They use a different sensor so the system knows they are the inside wheel. If you have polished wheels then its best to just rotate all your wheels from left/right. if you have the steelles the outside can go front/back. most don't even bother cause the factory tires aren't worth extending their life.

P.s. you can always break down the tire and move it to where ever you want.

p.s.s. it's all in your owner's manual
 
I installed six new TPMS modules with the new wheel set earlier this week.

They cloned the OEM ones so the truck wouldn't know they are new. So, it would be just like a tire rotation. Leaving the shop, all indicated 0 PSI. And after like 200 feet, they all came back on, with new pressure readings.

So a tire rotation should be really fast as the modules are already known. It is not like a full discovery of new modules which can take 15 minutes.

Exactly how far is 200 feets? :D ;)
 
it will auto-calibrate after a few miles on a srw.
a drw has to maintain the same inner/outer tire configuration to be accurate.

I'll look that up. I remember the tire rotation diagram in the manual for dually. But do not remember the TPMS requirements in the manual.
 

Hhmmm...thanks for pointing that out. Guess the alternate tire rotation I was considering will not work.
 
Lol. Guess I should have read this first. Back to discount tire.
