Can a 4-tire TPM system be "mistakenly" reprogrammed to a 5-tire TPM system causing an error message to display on the EVIC reading "TIRE SENSOR BAD/MISSING"?? If so, can this be reset by the owner and how?
Thank you

Well, I am not Jeep certified, but I am a good reader as well as a bored one so I read some of that link posted by DougW.
I found this: Upon special request, the 4-tire system modules can be programmed by the dealer to turn on the 5th spare tire bit.
As to if they 'made' the 'mistake', well, the service guy's implication the spare is an issue, implies they screwed up to me...??

I am just now wondering if there is way to reset that back to a 4-tire system without going back to the, or a, dealer.
There is a darker, more nefarious, side to this. I have /reasons/ to believe the sales guys had the service guys mis-programmed my EVIC just to get me back to either try to sell me a car (their customer waiting room is in the show room adjacent the fancy parts dept) or to way overspend on a extra tire pressure sensor and convert my 4 tire system into a 5 tire system unnecessarily.
This dealer is well established locally, I've used them for over a decade+ for over 3 JGC's I've owned without flaw. They just have some new people there that do not belong there. A few very rotten apples, so to speak.

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! God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com
Does the basic TPM even monitor the spare? This for the the basic setup, right? The one than only has the dash tire light, not the graphic that shows the tires with their pressures along side.
