I fitted mine under the rear seat squab and took the power from the back of the 12v socket. It synced after a 15 minute drive (I ignored the instructions) in low speed stop/start conditions. As long as you start with the dash in amber mode (not red) you should get a result. Once the car enters red mode it seems to involve a lot more messing about. I was told I had wasted my money on this device and should have pulled the plug on the TPMS module ( this I have not tried). The module is behind the dash on the right side near the A pillar if you fancy a go. Chris
Is tpms an mot fail like airbag? As in it should offer a self diagnostic check when starting the vehicle so unplugging the unit means the dashboard light never comes on in the ignition position and the fail is issued?

Apparently TPMS warning light on is a fail but no light is a pass. Some very basic systems (and it's suggested the Jimny has this) just close down the system when you pull the plug. I must stress I have not tried this but if true it sounds a more convenient way of solving orange dashboards. If (and this is one for Martin) all world markets use the same wiring harness and not all markets get TPMS then there could be a way to pull the plug. The real spanner in the works is the BCM which could be different for various markets. Food for thought, Chris.

Thanks Chris, very helpful.
What do you mean by red mode? The warning lights are all amber at the moment.
I’ll try again today with some fresh batteries and I’ll position the module by the 12v port. Maybe the module can be moved once synced, but for the purposes of syncing must be above a rear wheel.

Interesting. The Spare Jimny is equipped with tpms evidently and is not keen on what I consider suitable cross country tyre pressure so if it is as simple as an unplugging then that could be the future. More research I think.

The dash goes amber when you have a low pressure tyre. It then turns red when it detects a fault in the system (that could be missing sensors) but I never got to the bottom of what caused it. Chris
