After the TREAD Act was mandated in 2007, all vehicles manufactured in the United States beginning in 2008, must be installed with direct or indirect TPMS systems. The Jeep Grand Cherokee uses a direct TPMS system, which means TPMS sensors are installed in the wheel. If one or more tires indicate low tire pressure, the TPMS sensors will transfer the information to the vehicle’s ECU. An indicator light (low-line TPMS system) or each tire pressure will show on the dash (high-line TPMS system). When a sensor is replaced in one or more tires of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, an OBD TPMS relearn is recommended to write the IDs to the vehicle’s ECU. Type of TPMS system:

Troubleshooting tipsSystem Fault IssuesIf a system fault is detected, the TPM Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. The system’s fault will also sound a chime. If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. The TPM Telltale Light will turn off when the fault condition no longer exists. A system fault can occur due to any of the following:
Sensor FrequenciesThe Jeep Grand Cherokee was manufactured with 433 MHz TPMS sensors from 2001 through 2004. Then, the vehicle was manufactured with 315 MHz TPMS sensors from 2005 through 2007. In 2008, the Jeep Grand Cherokee switched back to 433 MHz TPMS sensors. Be sure to check the tool in the CHECK TPMS icon on the VT56, VT46, VT36, or VT31 tools to see which sensor frequency you are working with before replacing a TPMS sensor. TPMS DTC code informationUse the VT56 to retrieve Jeep TPMS DTC codes by selecting the “Service” icon. After selecting the Make, Model, and Year select the DTC code icon. Use the OBDII module to retrieve the Jeep DTC TPMS information to diagnose and service the TPMS issues determined.
