Even when i had TPMS that light came on so often it might as well have just stayed lit. Any night the temp dropped that puppy would be on it the morn. Youll save a lot of te and money by learning to just live with it like just like we all live with the terrible trans tuning

Certainly is possible. Any way you can tell if they are TPMS just by looking at the valve stem? I know it actually sits inside the rim just looking for best case scenario  
Wiggle the stem, if there's a sensor you'll feel it hit the wheel. If not the stem will move freely. It can have a sensor stem in it without the actual sensor screwed on it. Chances are the guy that sold them to you had the tire shop pull the sensors off the stems and put them in his new wheels to save a couple hundred dollars.

Some of us get neither TPMS lights NOR terrible trans tuning.  I've NEVER had the light come on; but then, I keep my tires slightly overfilled at 38 psi.  Never had a light even with 40* overnight temp swings.

 

Illuminated dash lights, like rust, are a crime.

Recently discovered this PIA TPMS thing on my 2018 (and trying the release/add air method didn't work).  My 2014 Grand Cherokee relearned it all by itself, so why can't GM do it?  I mean, really?  Sorry, but I'm not paying for a freakin tool to reset my stupid TPMS every time I rotate tires.  Just one more tidbit to add to the list of things that are starting to annoy me about this truck.

If you are rotating yourself buy the tool. Will work on just about any GM with TPMS. I have the GM one and it works well.

I found the GM tool on amazon, real easy procedure.

The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below:

 

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the

engine off.

3. Press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the

same time for approximately five seconds. The

horn sounds twice to signal the receiver is in

relearn mode and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE

message displays on the DIC screen.

If your vehicle does not have RKE, press the

Driver Information Center (DIC) vehicle information

button until the PRESS V TO RELEARN TIRE

POSITIONS message displays. The horn sounds

twice to signal the receiver is in relearn mode and

TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message displays on

the DIC screen.

If your vehicle does not have RKE or DIC buttons,

press the trip odometer reset stem located on the

instrument panel cluster until the PRESS V TO

RELEARN TIRE POSITIONS message displays.

The horn sounds twice to signal the receiver is in

relearn mode and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE

message displays on the DIC screen.

4. Start with the driver side front tire.

5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem.

Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or

decreasing the tire's air pressure for five seconds,

or until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp, which

may take up to 30 seconds to sound, confirms that

the sensor identification code has been matched to

this tire and wheel position.

6. Proceed to the passenger side front tire, and

repeat the procedure in Step 5.

7. Proceed to the passenger side rear tire, and repeat

the procedure in Step 5.

8. Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat the

procedure in Step 5. The horn sounds two times to

indicate the sensor identification code has been

matched to the driver side rear tire, and that the

TPMS sensor matching process is no longer

active. The TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message on

the DIC display screen goes off.

9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK/OFF.

10. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure

level as indicated on the Tire and Loading

Information label.

11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

 

Just had to do this myself.

Does this work for non-GM / non-factory tpms sensors?  

 

I replaced factory wheel/tires with new as well as new TPMS sensors but they're not calibrated
