2010 Jaguar xf supercharged. Just got out from storage. Drove for some short trips under 10 miles not lights or messages. First trip over 15 miles message area displays RF "Tire Not Monitored" with low tire light flashing. PSI is correct. Shutting car off and restart message is instant on. Before I install a new TPMS sensor in that tire I want to make sure that is the issue. If I swap front tires, then drive for awhile and it is the sensor in tire it should follow to the left side, correct?
If it stays on the right side then it could be the Sensor transponder?
Any other ideas to help diagnosis?

 

If its a bad sensor, it should follow the tire. If they are 15 years old, then yes, the battery has gone bad and the other three are soon to follow (actually would be amazing they've lasted this long - maybe already the second set). The only other likely thing to find is that the trapezoidal receiver antenna in the RF wheel well has become dislodged and is lying flat in the undertray (its supposed to be mounted tangent to the circumference in a plastic clip that gets loose over time - I have mine supplemented with zip ties to hold them in place). But most likely the little batteries inside them. Do yourself a favor and just go ahead and cough up the dough for OEM Jaguar replacement sensors. Sure, most people have used aftermarket sensors with no problem, but if like me, your Jaguar is one of the few finicky ones, it'll save you money in the long run and more importantly, time and aggravation. My local indy told me "Oh, just go ahead and have the tire shop replace them when you get new tires. That's what I've always done and I've never had any problem. Tell them to record the serial numbers for each sensor and if it doesn't recognize the new sensors automatically, bring it in and I can program them manually." Months later, a half a dozen visits and he never could make the XF tolerate the aftermarket sensors for more than two or three weeks at a time before it would lose one corner or another. Even made a special appointment to have some Jaguar technician from New York "remote in" to update the TPMS firmware and that didn't work either. Eventually spent the $600 for the Jaguar set. The car liked the OEM sensors instantly and no problems since (~2 years). By then it was of course too late to get a refund on the $200 set. At least my indy didn't charge me for all the visits since it was sorta his bad advice that I didn't get the OEM ones in the first place. They're probably more than $600 now, but you gotta figure what's the aggravation worth.

 

pdupler thank you the quick response. Do the OEM Jaguar replacement sensors need to be programmed/learned with a tool? Or just install and drive to learn to vehicle?

 

Should not need any special programming to change TPMS sensors if you replace with OEM units and they work properly. The car will pick up their new signals right away or within a few miles.

 

Update.
I found the RF tire received antenna was laying flat on under tray. I zip tied in correct spot. Checked the LF one, was in correct spot also zip tied that one.
Swapped front tires. Drove on some short trips.
Message still on for RF tire not monitored... but I have not driven car for more than a 5 miles over 50MPH yet, maybe needs to be driven longer???
After I take for a longer trip and still on, I will check for voltage at antenna and somehow signal circuit back to module and swap antennas left to right.
Trying to diagnosis vs throwing parts at it.
Any idea how long it should take to reset?

 

Never replace just one TPMS. As posted before they last about 7 years before they need replaced.
I would change all 4 so you know they are fresh.

I will replace all if one is bad. I swapped front tires to make sure that it follows its position to confirm it is the sensor that has failed or its something else that is at fault
