I'm a newbie and I didn't see an existing thread that covered my question. I have a 2016 Wrangler, bought a set of aftermarket rims that was on a 2019 Wrangler. The used rims I bought already has the tpms sensors. My question is will my Jeep recognize the sensors that's already on the used rims or can the ones on the used rims be reprogrammed? Any information appreciated
 
It depends on what year the wheels are from that you put on. I know I put wheels from a 2018 on my 2008 and the Sensors were the wrong frequency. I forget right now what year the change in the frequency is but it's somewhere on Google I could find it later.
 
I have a 2016, wheels came off a 2019. Same part number but I've been told once they're programmed they can't be reprogrammed.... didn't sound right to me. Same part number for the 2016 and 2019. Figured I'd toss it out
 
According to this they are the same


 
They can relearn them; it cost me $22.00 for the tire shop to reprogram the sensors. It didn't work because it was the tpms, they gave me a refund. I had purchased new tpms's installed relearned ($22.00) been fine since. The wheels came off of a 2018 Iput them on Jeep, 2011. Around 12-13 they went to a different frequency (I think it was 315 to a 433 or something like that).

Tire shop mounted the used rims I bought, apparently there's no issues with the computer recognizing the sensors that was already on the used rims I bought.....no low air lights or anything. I do appreciate all the replies!

From what I found out they should have been the same. Thanks for the update.
 
Invest a few bucks in an OBD dongle, get the JScan app and disable the TPMS. That way when you air down for a better ride or to go off-road, you don't have to see the dash warnings.
I really appreciate this in the winter when the temps drop and the slightest change in pressure would normally set off the warning, I'm driving in the sand along the Outer Banks or running a couple trails up in SW Virginia. Just carry a decent tire pressure gauge and you'll be fine.
