I noticed that my Toad has a TPMS system. It's a 2012 Jeep Liberty. Has anyone figured out how to read the tire pressure on this Toad at the driver's seat in the motor home? Heck, I don't know what system is in the Toad, let alone how to read it from the MH. Thanks!

Is it the factory TPMS in the Jeep? If so, it's only designed to turn on a warning light if tire pressure drops to a specific level. It doesn't display the pressures unless you hook in to the DLC 3 connector under the dash with a reader or scan tool.

I can read all four tire pressures on the odometer display using the menu.

That's the way the Wrangler worked, but the 2012 Liberty has full readouts on the dash display.

OP - no, I don't know any way to do that. We added sensors to the tires that work with the SmarTire system in the coach. So we have both systems. And I have a secondary display I can put in the Jeep just to see those four. Haven't used it, since the OEM sensors are still installed.

I recently placed tires on the Saturn Vue and while in Discount Tires I saw an add for TPMS. They use the "DILL" (sp) TPMS system and they have it for RV's and 10 tires.

I'm surprised I have not seen it talked about anywhere. Seems like a lot of DT people have it. They are in inside the tire system.

I miss-spoke. The Menu appears on the speedometer, not the odometer and is activated by the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel. You have to press it a few times until the 4 tire pressures appear.
I have never heard of the Dill system. That might be worthy of some additional research. It would be nice to buy a compatible TPMS system that would read the Toad tire pressures from inside the MH as well as the tire pressures of the MH itself. That way, you wouldn't have to have two TPMS systems on the Toad.
