Does anyone know how TPMS can be programmed ?

I have 4 wheels (LR OE) and they don't have TPMS in them. So thinking of getting TPMS from ebay (new OE LR part), installing them on the wheels and then program them.

But what tool would I need to program them?

Thanks

I appreciate your wheels don't have the sensors, but is your vehicle fitted with TPMS? Does it have the antennae in each wheel arch, behind the liner? Kev

Thanks guys.

Story is, it had 20 inch wheels with sensors.
I changed the wheels to 21 inch. They are LR ones as well but didn't came with sensors. I drove car for a month with no issues and now tpms warning came up. I hadn't thought of tpms and assumed it all worked meant the 21inch wheels have them.

So I got OE sensors, 4 of them. But not sure what next will need done aside form the obvious that I need to get them installed in the 21 inch wheels.
I don't want to remove the sensors from the 20 inch wheels unless I have no choice.

It's a P400e btw.

You just need to install the sensors into the wheels. No need to reprogram anything as far as I know. Kev

From my foggy memory of doing this, there's 2 different frequencies and I learned the hard way and bought 4 of the wrong ones and seem to remember using my friends Autel to turn them on.

The ones this P400e takes is LR070840. It's 433Mhz after a Google search.

I will be surprised if just driving them will program them as I think every sensor has a unique ID so it does not start to read from another nearby car.

I looked into Autel over YouTube. And seems Autel can only program its own brand of TPMS.

When I bought a set of wheels with TPMS from Duckworths I wondered about this. It turned out that they automatically set themselves when put on the car. I change wheels summer and winter and no problems. So assuming you get the right TPMS sensors it may well just work. My fallback was to ask the dealers to do it, but not needed. Only Range Rovers since 1988

I have a MY2015 with TPMS 433Mhz I put a set of winter wheels from a 2018 with TPMS and the car automatically picked up the new wheels and started monitoring as normal 2015 Range Rover L405 SDV8 AB Corris grey

When I had a flat the TPMS found the spare immediately and while I drove the car without a spare,
the system on start up would send an amber lite on the dash telling me there was no spare in the boot!! Very clever

Took old wheels with sensors and new sensors along with the new wheels to a garage. They said the sensors will need programmed and requires specialist Range Rover tool. They said the specific tool has some ethernet cable connection.

Not sure about programming but the sensors are often shipped in a "sleep mode" and need to be activated by someone. See here https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic58856.html?highlight=tpms for further details. In my case I went to Landrover who activated them for me.

a quick research shows that an activation tool is required if you fit new sensors...what i can make out is that its a handheld device that you point at each sensor [in wheel] and wake up the sensor..

there are various makes on ebay etc but theres not much info to whether these units work on a landrover.


i'm sure a dealer will do this job for you. ... - .- -.

I have just had some new OE sensors fitted by a local garage that refurbs wheels (apparently the originals broke apart when he tried to remove them). However having fitted the wheels back onto the car it appears that there is no recognition of the actual tyre pressures. I guess I will also have to get the Dealer to reset the monitoring too. I will report back when they have had a look. 2015 Range Rover L405 SDV8 AB Corris grey
