Tire rotation TPMS Position

[AlterEgo]

Hello,

As the title says, I am planning to rotate my tires soon for my Expy 2020.

How do we re-position the TPMS sensor locations, so the correct position is reprogrammed to show the new locations in the instrument cluster display.

I know most probably the neighborhood tire shop vendor will not have the tools to get it done.

Thanks

It will update the tire location automatically after driving few miles. No special procedures needed.

Because a simple option in the menus is too easy.

Haha, mine just updated automatically after couple of miles. I had a lower pressure in the rear left tire, then it showed up correctly as the front right after rotation.

I can confirm that driving a bit (actually less than a mile) the tire pressure sensors read the correct location.

So is it this procedure or do they update automatically?

Very nice!!

Thanks for all the replies.

Meanwhile I also confirmed with my dealership since I am under extended warranty until 200,000KM - and they informed it is done as a standard service feature on every visit (either after 8000 Km or 4 Months whichever comes sooner)

Issue is how do you know or the car knows its the right location? It just knows it picked up the signal from each tire.
In Fords like my VAn I bought a $20 reset tool where you do the key trick then go to each tire and activate the reset tool ON EACH TIRE it says on the Dash.

I am willing to bet you rotate the tires it will pick all them up but they will not be labeled where they should be. Proof in the pudding is to do this then let 10 psi out of one tire and see if its in the right location.

Ask a tire center when they put new tires on Gen 4 Epys. Do they reset the system or let the customer drive off with none.

Glad I searched for TPMS before posting... I just got a new set of tires. On the way home, I wondered, "How much pressure did they put in?". At a stop light I checked and couldn't believe my eyes: 3 @ ~40psi and 1 @ ~50!. Puzzled, I left the display on that screen and continued home.
Then all of a sudden, my 50lb front right jumped to the left!
I checked at home and confirmed the front left was the high one. The car auto learns!
If you are curious, I run 22s and set them all to about 48psi. Checked the display afterward and two were 46 and one 47. Close enough.

@Janky , I'm curious why you're running the higher pressures and what your experience is with that. My 22 SPP has 22's from the factory and is recommending 39 psi F/R.

I've always run the higher pressure because I do a lot of highway miles. Seems to ride fine. Good point though - maybe I should try 40 and see if I notice any difference.

I imagine the higher pressure may help mileage too. Have you noticed the centers of your tread wearing down more than out towards the shoulders?

Nope. I bought the rig with 32k and just turned over 48k - pretty even treadwear. I think the tires (both factory and my new Geolanders) list 50psi as max. If checking them cold I'd put them at 45 just to be safe.
