Title: TPMS sensor activation
Post by: JoeVibe on March 14, 2021, 07:00:14 PM

Put a fat front tire on the Road Glide.  Can I activate the tpms sensor or do I have to go to the dealer?

Should be able to take the sensor from the original rim, put it in the new rim and have no need to do any activation.

Thanks Joel. I thought about that a little too late.

Did you ever sort out the process to pair a new TPMS sensor? I am Interested in learning how to do this as well.

Hi Dave,

I couldn't find any way to do it myself so I ended up taking the bike to the local dealership. It cost me 1/2 hour labor to get it done. I had an appointment and was in and out really quickly. Except that I like to do everything myself, it was fairly painless and everything is working now.

I'll continue to look for some way to do it myself in the future. I have TTS tuners on the bikes and the Daytona Twin Scan 4 tool for bleeding the ABS systems. Hopefully one of them will do an upgrade that will include initializing TPMS sensors but, if somebody else makes one I'll probably buy it. If I were younger, I'd try to find a way to buy a Digital Tech system  ;D. Let me know if you come up with a solution.

Joe

I wonder if they charge to pair the pressure sensor when you pay for a tire mount in dismount?

The only reason to program the sensor is if it is new to the bike.
No different from the automotive pressure sensors.
We mark the rim position, mount the new tire, balance and put it back to the same location the rim was.
Obviously you can only put the rim from the bike back where it was.
So if you had a new tire (s) mounted on your bike and they say they have program the original sensor the are really asking you to grab your ankles.
