They have to be programmed to communicate with your on board computer. I would call the tire store and inquire about this.

 

 

They don't have to be OEM LR sensors AFAIK but the TPMS system on the LR may need to be reset per my google search. Since I actually ditched the use of my original TPMSs due to corrosion I have not researched this procedure, I prefer to check my tire pressure manually per an old habit. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge will chime in and provide some insight.

 

Just a quick follow up on this. I did end up getting the OEM land rover TPMS, and everything ended up working perfectly. Apparently some 3rd party sensors don't work in these. OEM sensors worked immediately.

 

That is quite interesting. You now have me wondering about the existing issue I have (described below)

My daughter's LR2 is saying pressure monitoring system fault and the light flashes then stays on solid. I had new tires put on at a tire shop and they confirmed all the sensors are working properly (now anyway, one had to be replaced), but they don't have a method of interacting with the main system module itself to further diagnose.

The tech I talked to said there was some sort of localization procedure that might need to be done based on what he found out from talking with a few people, but I'm not sure what that means or how to even reconfigure it, if it can be done...

 

I have two sets of wheels for my LR2

For the new to me wheels I installed these sensors

VDO / CONTINENTALSE53004 {Click Info Button for Alternate/OEM Part Numbers} OE Remote; No Programming Required

I didn't have to do anything, just drive away and everything worked.

 

I may be wrong about this but IIRC...

I think the car can learn new OEM sensors on it's own without programming. You have to drive it around for a while, as it "listens" for TPMS sensors to figure out which four are following it around so it can tune out any others which happen to be near by... that would matter at the factory, dealer, and a euro shop, or if you own another LR2.

I've seen at least one aftermarket TPMS where the sensor itself (not the car) had to be programmed to match the old sensor. It came with a proximity device to do that.

 

15 min at a minimum 20 km/h, yes.

 

Thanks so much for your replies. I need to do some looking into these options on our vehicle and see if this will help to get the system to stop reporting a fault.
