The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your 2005-2008 Chrysler Crossfire is designed to keep you safe by alerting you to low tire pressure. This system uses sensors within each tire and the Universal Garage Door Opener/Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) module to constantly monitor tire pressure when your ignition is on. When a tire’s pressure drops too low, a warning light illuminates on your instrument cluster. While the system alerts you to low pressure, it doesn’t pinpoint which tire is the culprit.
Understanding how to service this system, particularly when replacing sensors or rotating tires, is crucial. This guide will walk you through the process of sensor removal, installation, and the necessary relearn procedure using a DRB-III scan tool crossfire, a critical tool for Chrysler vehicles of this era. You’ll also need a Relearn Magnet (8821) to complete the relearn process.
Removing a Chrysler Crossfire TPMS Sensor
Before you begin, safety is paramount. Ensure you have the vehicle securely supported and understand the warnings associated with tire service.
Wheel and Tire Removal: Start by removing the wheel and tire assembly from your Chrysler Crossfire. Once removed, place the assembly on a tire changing machine and remove any balancing weights from the wheel. Deflate the tire completely by removing the valve stem cap and core.
