Re: Any Jeep CERTIFIED tech on the list here? Quick question...
As it should be, as that is the number of tires on a car. If one of my
salesmen didn't five doughnuts, I wanted to know what's wrong!

Does the basic TPM even monitor the spare? This for the the basic setup,

Re: Any Jeep CERTIFIED tech on the list here? Quick question...
sound like you have a bad sensor the hard part without a scantool of high
quality is finding out which one it is. too bad pres.clinton banned freq,
counters you can use one of those to see which one is not sending a signal
to the main receiver
