2019 XF - DIY Options to re-program TPMS?

[omniflow]

Are there any affordable DIY options to re-program the TPMS on a 2019 XF 300 Sport?

I've put winter wheels on, and I have the serial numbers of the TPMS sensors in those. I need to be able to read the numbers of the sensors that the system thinks it has so I can use them to re-program in the spring. Then I need to be able to update the system with the new serial numbers.

A garage has quoted around £70 for each re-program, so I'd be happy spending up to £300 on something that allows me to do it myself.

It's not the end of the world if it can't be done - I'll just live with the warnings during the winter - but it would be nice to be able to re-program it.

Was that a Jaguar Independent that quoted that price ?

I would suggest that you buy Autel MX Sensors (or MX compatibles) and an Autel 'pad'. The sensors themselves are universal and can be programmed to just about any vehicle on the market using the pad, which is a USB accessory that can be plugged into any laptop.

The pad can communicate with both OEM and MX sensors.

With the Autel software (which is free to download and activates when it recognises the pad connected to the computer) you can clone your original TPMS sensors, so no need to go anywhere near the car's TPMS control box or pay anyone to reprogram/relearn.

I got a full set of sensors and the pad for less than £100, but I suspect you might pay a bit more than that now.

That does look like a good solution. Ideally, I'd find someone to replace the sensors in my winter wheels and re-program them to be clones of the sensors in the standard wheels. Then I'll be self-sufficient until I change this car. However, I haven't yet managed to find someone who offers a supply and fit service for these things. Any ideas?

Did Jaguar change the TPMS system? I had a 2010 XFS Portfolio and used to change to winter wheels in October and back to summers in March, when I bought the winter wheels/tyres i bought a set Ford (I think) TPMS units for them and didn't have them recoded I seem to recall the system was self learning. After the very first change when it took a long time for them to be recognised I never had a problem when swapping wheels (apart from the central TPMS module borking itself twice during my ownership).

The correct TPMS sensors don't need coding or programming to the car, as said above it is a self learning system.

We use the Autel ones, they work quite well. We normally charge £72 per wheel to supply, fit and clone the valve.

I'm not sure what you mean by "correct" in this context.

I've read the manual and googled the problem extensively and eventually gave up and phoned a Jaguar specialist. They're the ones who told me that the system would need to be re-programmed. The previous car I had (a Ford Mondeo) just worked - it took a couple of journeys and then the warnings went away. Everything I've found out about the post facelift TPMS system on the XF indicates that it is NOT a self-learning system.
