TPMS for a second set of wheels/tires...

[Lyon]

I'm getting a second set of wheels and tires for off road use. I’m wondering if I can just get another set of TMPS sensors and mount them in the wheels? If I do that am I going to have to reprogram them each time I swap the wheels?

Thanks.

I've been told that you bolt them on and drive them. When we rotate tires, we don't do anything special, just drive them. The owners manual essentially says the same:

A replacement sensor must be fitted to a
running wheel in order to be recognised by the
TPMS. Recognition only occurs when the
vehicle is driven above 25 km/h (18 mph) for
approximately ten minutes.

The receivers are located on the back side of the splash panels, so the signal strength isn't that high, and there isn't any cross interference, the sensors pickup the nearest transmitter and use that value for that receivers output to the Information Center.

Great, that's what I wanted to hear. I'll just put sensors in the new wheels!
