I installed 1.5" wheel spacers on WED on my 2011 JKU...and yesterday, while driving, my TPMS light would intermittently come on.

It would literally flash on for a second and then turn off. It wasn't constant, but it would happen every few half hours. Are the spacers and TPMS sensors related? Its the only thing I've installed since I started getting this error..

 

i would say something happened when putting the spacers on or one of your tires are right at the limit of being "under inflated" even though we know they arent. i think if the tire is at 31 PSI it will change with the temprature and set off the TPMS



The spacers dont make a difference to the TPMS or the Jeep. I run them on my stock rims with TPMS and no problems. My wife now uses them on her WJ and i have aftermarket wheels with TPMS.

 

I'm just not sure how they would have affected the TPMS sensors, if they are inside the rim...

 

there is no way the wheel spacer affects the tire sensor. check your tire psi.

 

I doubt 1.5" further away from the wireless senser would matter.

 

i doubt also, because it would never pick up the spare tire on back then!

 

what i ment is that you could have hit the stem with a wrench or something while removing the tire.

either low PSI or damaged when removing /installing the tire. I think discount tire can check the TPMS sensors i'm not sure.

 

Check all the tires, top them up with air and if the issue goes away - problem solved.
