Two front TPM sensors/ antennas need replacement.
dealer fee 875 dollars- thank you Jaguar

 

They are £65.25 each.

 

Take it to Discount Tire. I'll bet the total fee for parts and installation will be under $200

 

The OP mentions antennas.
Are these the "receivers" that input the TPMS data into the display?
If so, perhaps the OP should just replace the TPMS units (at a tire dealership) and see if the "receivers" are really needed.

 

Hard to believe that the "receivers" are bad and at the same time the TPMS "transmitters" in the tires are too.

 

Though given the nature of the F-Type it is more likely to be the "antennas" than the in-tire TPMS units.

 

2015 F-Type, batteries are likely dead in the TMPS sensors and could be contributing to the failure to read issue. Before I gave a JLR dealer nearly $900, I'd go to Discount Tire and have them service the batteries first and test sensor replacement second. Just my two cents.

 

This is the third catastrophe you have reported with your 2015 F-Type although it only qualifies as "loose change" in comparison:

These threads had many replies but no further input from you. $24,700 before this latest incident and now a total of $25,575. Two things I notice about this:

1. you are exceptionally unlucky
2. you are unique in not making further posts about costly repairs

I hope this is not going to be another posting about rare faults with no subsequent follow up on the resolution.

I don't feel like they really work anyway - I want to be able to see the pressures per tire otherwise what's the point?

I'm installing a set of these in a few weeks. https://cerebrum-sensor.com/ Involves having the tires removed and then put back on a couple days later, but then I can monitor temp AND pressure on my phone and get alerts. Since it's my fun-day car and sits a bit in between I think it will be better to know if pressures are getting low before I take off for a drive.

Like this you mean?

 

Yeah mine doesn't do that, just has an error light if they are wrong but doesn't tell you what "wrong" means.

 

Note the VIN range in the previous post.
Jaguar used two different frequency of TPMS sensor over the years.

But, as stated, any good tire store can test and calibrate the proper sensors for a LOT less than a dealer. My local Mavis has all the equipment.

 

If it helps, I ordered sensors for new wheels from tire rack at around $20 each, just the standard ones that they claimed would work in their website, and discount tire had no issues calibrating then on my new wheels. Discount tire sells them for $60 each.

 

I've just had 4 new ones installed by the dealer when I had my rims powder-coated.

Is there a procedure for getting the car to recognize them?

Thanks

I have 4 OEM JLR TPMS 315mhz available I'd be willing to sell. Where are you located?

 

Should recognize automatically after about 15 mins of driving. Wonder if the sensors are still asleep? Maybe ask the dealer (or a local tire shop) to use their wand and check they are transmitting

Also not impossible that they used the wrong ones. Jags Used to be 315MHz and are now 433MHz (in the US at least). Easy to get mixed up

 

I recently bought a set of aftermarket wheels and tires for winter for my 2017MY F-type and here's what I learnt about our finnicky TPMS....

For VINs upwards of K15272 (like mine) you need 433MHz sensors. Prior to that it was 315MHz. But that's only part of the equation. You also need the high pressure variant which has GX631A159AA imprinted on the sensor casing. And even that's not all...you need the correct sensor ID which is S180052076 (ask me how I know!).

I had originally purchased a set of OEM Jaguar 433Mhz / GX631A159AA with a different sensor ID off eBay ($60) and they never sync'd with my car after hundreds of miles. I even bought an Autel TPMS relearn tool to sync the individual sensors to the ECU via the OBDII port but no dice. I went to my local Jaguar service center and they wanted $200 just to try to read the sensors for diagnosis. They suggested I just buy a set of new OEM sensors from them for $160+tax a pop and have them installed with a "Force" wheel mount and balance for another $200. That's over $800+tax. I was going to put up with the TPMS fault warning and keep my $$. But the warning message and fault light kept bugging me.

I then bought a set of four used OEM S180052076 sensors off eBay for $45 and Discount Tire swapped them out for free since I bought the TSW wheels and all weather tires from them. I used my relearn tool to sync these sensors up to my ECU and voila! The tire pressures were reported on the dashboard display within a few miles. I think it may well have sync'd automatically without the relearn tool but I had one so I used it.

No more fault lights now and my car is ready for the snow as my daily driver!

This is the sensor my F-type needed (from Continental OE TPMS brochure)

Bought these originally. They are OEM 433Mhz and high pressure designation but incorrect Sensor ID

Later got these which look identical except for the Sensor ID. Works like a charm!

 

The dealer took another look and in fact they were the wrong sensors. Correct ones now installed and everything working as it should.

Thanks
