Problems keeping TPS sensors on the bands for aftermarket wheels.

Spooler · 08-21-2018, 06:52 PM

I am having a heck of a time keep my TPS sensors on the bands. The bands keep breaking off where the TPS mounts. This is becoming one big pain in the butt. Anybody had the same issues? I just about ready to deal with the TPMS light. I have a tire gauge. LOL

Band? Should just be an actual sensor

Before I dealt with a light, I'd try something like this.

They make TPMS in all sorts of designs, even regular rubber pull through designs. That's what I'm using on my Winter wheels. Not sure what you're dealing with on your wheels that made you go with bands, but not many OEMs other than a few Fords used them that I know of. You may be figuring out why its not a common solution.

Noop, If I can't find a solution I am pulling all this off.

Yeah - I Am Frustrated Too...
Put New 19" Rims On With Reconditioned TPMS Sensors
My Tire Guy "Read" Each Sensor Before Mounting Tires
He Kept Track Of Lft-Frnt, Rt Frnt, Rt Rr, Lft Rr While Installing
Idiot Light Still Came On...
Went To Local "Stealer" To Reprogram - He Said He Can / NP
They Couldn't Read Rt Rr
Went To Tire Guy Next - He Said He Can / NP
He Couldn't Read Lft Frt
All The Rest Were Readable ??? WTF
At Least The Dash Light Is TINY

Makes Me Wonder If Any One Knows How To Do This "Easy Fix"
I Am Thinking About Trying The Paper Clip DIY Next

your reconditioned sensors may not be compatible with the TPMS or the batteries in them are weak.

There are at least two OEM versions AFAIK.

didn't you get Works?

how are you not able to run regular TPMS?

Spooler · 08-21-2018, 09:16 PM

I have SSR MS3 wheels. They are not drilled for the TPS sensor, hence why I am using the bands. For you guys that don't know what I am talking about, they are bands that wrap around the inside of the wheel where you mount the TPS sensors.

Like this.

I used the bands to install the oem tpms in the Work wheels with no issue at all. I don't have any installation detail. The tire shop did the install.

Well I guess they don't like do 90+ steady. LOL

That's a pretty massive oversight from SSR. 2018 and selling wheels that can't fit to Tpms?

I don't think it is massive oversight, annoyance Yes. Besides, our TPMS system is just an annoyance anyway. It's not like we can see what the pressure is in each wheel. So it is a government mandate I can actually do without.
