Default 2013 with wheels and TPMS from 2011

I just traded my 2011 JKU for a 2013 JKUR. I had the dealer put my aftermarket wheels and tires from the '11 onto the new '13. I have to assume there is a difference between the TPMS sensors used on a 2011 JKU and those on a 2013 JKU because the sensors don't seem to be registering. I used my Procal to adjust the warning down to 0 lbs so that the TPMS warning light won't come on, but all wheels read 0 lbs.

Anyone run into this and know if there is anything I can do to fix other than taking the sensors out of my stock Rubi wheels and having them installed into my custom wheels? I don't know much about how the sensors work, but I'm wondering if there is a way to "reprogram" them to work with my new ride.

I finally managed to refine my forum search and saw where the 2013s are multi-channel and therefore, the 2011 sensors in my wheels won't work. Looks like I need to swap out the sensors from my stock wheels. Oh well. At least I have them.

Take it back to the dealer. They should have known it wouldn't work and have them put new sensors in for you free.

My dealer did.
