To set up your RV’s tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), pair each sensor with the correct tire position on the monitor, confirm the alert settings and check that pressure and temperature readings appear. In this demonstration, Master Technician Bart Taylor and Adam Peterson walk through programming a monitor with internal tire sensors. Follow the steps below alongside your system’s manual, since button sequences and pairing procedures vary by model.
Identify your monitor and sensor type before beginning. The sidewall pairing method described here applies to the internal sensors shown in the demonstration. Sensors attached externally to valve stems require a different procedure.
Have the following ready:
Programming connects existing sensors to the monitor; it does not install sensors inside the tires.
If you plan to monitor your tow vehicle too, confirm that it has compatible sensors. The truck’s factory tire pressure monitoring system will not necessarily communicate with your RV’s monitor.
Complete setup while parked, with enough space to move safely around the RV.
Remove the screen protector and turn on the monitor.
Locate the SET, PLUS (+), GO and BACK buttons. Familiarizing yourself with the controls makes it easier to move between tire positions without accidentally skipping a step.
If your monitor has different buttons or menus, follow its operating manual rather than using this sequence.
For the monitor shown in the demonstration:
A tire position will blink. Use PLUS (+) to move through the available positions.
Before pairing a sensor, verify that the selected position matches the physical tire you are programming. Correct assignments help you identify which tire needs attention when a reading changes or an alert appears.
The first vehicle outline represents the tow vehicle. The outline behind it represents the trailer.
In the demonstration’s programming view:
Use this orientation consistently as you move around the RV.
If your display includes inside and outside positions for dual wheels, follow the monitor’s instructions for your tire configuration. Each sensor needs its own assigned position.
Once the correct tire position is blinking:
The sidewall location applies to the internal sensor installation demonstrated. If your sensors are installed differently, follow their specific pairing instructions.
If the monitor does not capture a code, check the selected tire position, sensor type and monitor placement before trying again.
Press PLUS (+) to select the next tire position, then repeat the pairing process.
Work in a consistent order around the RV to avoid missing a tire or saving a sensor to the wrong location.
Include every tire you intend to monitor, including the spare if it has a compatible sensor. Only program tow vehicle positions when compatible sensors are installed.
Record the sensor codes and their assigned wheel positions for reference. If tires are later rotated or moved, check whether the monitor’s assignments need updating.
After all sensor assignments are saved, press and release BACK twice to return to the home screen.
Allow time for the monitor to receive sensor data. Check that each programmed tire displays its pressure and temperature readings.
Before considering setup complete, confirm that:
If a tire does not report, follow your system’s troubleshooting instructions to check pairing, sensor operation and any required signal repeater.
Sensor pairing is only part of setup. Follow your system’s instructions to configure pressure and temperature units, high- and low-pressure alerts, and the temperature alert in the required order.
Confirm the appropriate cold inflation pressure for your RV and tow vehicle using the applicable manufacturer guidance. Do not assume the monitor’s default settings match your tires.
A TPMS helps you monitor tire conditions, but regular inspections and cold-pressure checks with an appropriate gauge remain part of your pre-trip routine.
Equipment and programming procedures vary. Follow the current instructions for your monitor and sensors.
