I wan't to agree with you on this,basically when i first bought my car i had a dedicated set of snowtires and rims along with the original rims ,now the sevice manager went on and said he had hooked the scantool to the car and set the tpms to AUTO and that the system could only hold 4 tpms signals at a time so that when i changed rims/tyres i would have to drive the car for about 10 min to reset and learn the new tpms sensors.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system in the current generation 300 monitors air pressure in the four road tires (excludes spare). Pressure in the spare tire is not monitored.
There are two tire pressure monitoring systems available, a base system and a premium system. The base system does not specify how many tires are low or where they are located. The premium system does so.
Both TPM systems consist of tire pressure monitoring sensors attached to each road wheel through the valve stem mounting hole and a TPM module. The receiver circuit for the TPM system is mounted in the right rear wheel well. The TPM module is fixed to a metal bracket mounted to the inner wheel well located behind the splash shield. The TPM module decodes the RF signals transmitted by each of the vehicle’s tire pressure sensors. The decoded information is used to determine if "warning" or "fault" conditions exist within the TPM system.
Upon detection of a warning or fault condition, the TPM module will send a request to the module that controls the indicator lamp and the text display via the vehicle bus system to illuminate or flash the indicator lamp. Also, upon detection of a warning or fault condition, the electronic display will send a request to sound the "chime".
The TPM module will store all warning and fault conditions, placard pressure values and low pressure threshold values (lamp ON and OFF) in memory that can be accessed through diagnostic communication. If new sensors are introduced to the vehicle, the data stored for the sensor being replaced will be deleted once the new sensor id has been learned.
The TPM module will store all wheel sensor ID’s and locations and faults in memory that can be accessed through diagnostic communication.
The TPM module automatically learns and stores the sensor IDs while driving “within 20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (24 km/h)” after a sensor has been replaced. The learning sequence will initiate when the vehicle has been stopped for more than 20 minutes.
A new sensor ID can also be programmed directly into the TPM module by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction with a Scan Tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the vehicle will need to be driven above 15mph until the fault is no longer active (lamp extinguishes) and display is updated (for up to 20 minutes).
Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
The tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system is designed to operate without loss of function for all OEM tire construction for this vehicle. Sensors, mounted to each road wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit an RF signal indicating their individual pressure to a receiver located in the TPM module. These transmissions occur approximately once every minute at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). For more information on sensors.
If the TPM module detects that the tire pressure in any road tire is going low, beyond the Low Pressure (lamp) ON threshold (see placard table below), a chime will sound and the indicator lamp will turn on. In addition to the chime and lamp for the premium system, a graphic display of the pressure value(s) and position of the low tire(s) will flash in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Once pressure in the suspect tire(s) raises above the Low Pressure (lamp) OFF Threshold (see placard table below), and the TPM module receives a valid transmission from the sensor, the lamp will go out. If a system fault is detected due to a missing sensor signal, in addition to a chime and a indicator lamp flashing, a “Check TPM System” text message will be displayed in the instrument cluster, and the tire pressure graphic display on the premium system will have "- -“ in place of the pressure value. After the flash sequence, the TPM indicator lamp will remain illuminated. The system will return to normal once the TPM module receives a valid transmission from that sensor location. If a system fault is detected, the indicator lamp will flash on/off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
If the TPM module detects a warning or fault condition at ignition key "ON" it will wait approximately ten seconds before sending the first request to illuminate the indicator lamp. This will assure that the display module has concluded its bulb check period. The display module will request a chime once per ignition cycle when a "warning" or "fault" condition is detected. A "warning" or "fault" condition will remain enabled until the problem causing the condition is corrected and reset.
The TPM module shall continuously monitor for the receipt of tire pressure RF message transmissions from the wheel sensors during the ignition key "ON" cycle. The wheel sensor ID’s and the location of each sensor (e.g. Tire 1, Tire 2 etc.) are learned by the TPM control module using signal strength and direction of wheel rotation as received by the TPM module from each of the sensors, and updates the graphic display when necessary or during a service procedure, as required.
The TPM System will continue to warn the driver of low tire pressure as long as the condition exists, and will not turn off the indicator lamp until the tire pressure is at or above the Low Pressure (lamp) OFF threshold. The system will automatically update and the TPM indicator lamp will turn off once the updated tire pressures have been received.
Tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will decrease. Tire pressure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pressure (placard pressure). This is defined as the tire pressure after a vehicle has not been driven for more than 3 hours (and in outside ambient temperature). The tire pressure will also increase as the vehicle is driven, this is normal and there should be no adjustment for this increased pressure. For a system fault, the system will return to normal once the TPM module receives a valid transmission from that sensor location.
For both the Premium and Base TPM, the recommended "Placard Pressure", "Low-pressure Threshold" (Low Pressure ON) and “Hysteresis Pressure” values for the tires installed on the vehicle, are learned by the TPM module during the initial Manufacturing Plant Process, or during a service procedure, as required.
To determine the pressure thresholds for a vehicle, refer to the Tire Inflation Pressure (Placard) Label, and then apply the placard pressure to the following table. The Low Pressure OFF Threshold is defined as the Low Pressure ON Threshold plus the Hysteresis Pressure value.
For further information, refer to the Owners Manual or the Appropriate Diagnostic Information.

It works both ways, the TPM module automatically learns and stores the sensor IDs while driving “within 20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (24 km/h)” after a sensor has been replaced. The learning sequence will initiate when the vehicle has been stopped for more than 20 minutes.
A new sensor ID can also be programmed directly into the TPM module by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction with a Scan Tool.

Thanks you. Great information. I have a 2012 300C, is there any way to know which system is on my car, the Basic or Advanced?
I also understand that when changing a sensor after driving time / speed the new sensor will auto learn the correct ID and position. In the event of a system failure there will be no limit on vehicle speed but will include a check TPM system.
Thank you again. The 300C is a great car. If the car is still being produced when I need to replace I'll be back.

The base system does not specify how many tires are low or where they are located. Only a low tire pressure message will be shown. The premium system does so. You can also determine which system you have by the build sheet.

I must have the Premium system because the display shows each tire position and pressure.
u could never rotate tires without dismounting each tire..im sure they thought of that,,,,
? ChryslerCares stated that with both systems every 20mins or so the system reads the id's on the monitors and updates... So if you rotate tires with wheels attached then there will be no problem. 20 mins and it wi relearn the location and be good to go!
