A few months ago I purchased some rebel wheels and tires of FB market. I assumed the didn't have tpms sensors as 5k miles later they still never relearned themselves. Every now and then though a random tire will show up with its psi on the cluster, does not last long, maybe 10 min and it's gone again. Is it possible they tpms sensor and it's just the wrong frequency and needs to be relearned?

Tpms sensor frequency question

I think they all have the same frequency, and should relearn within 10 miles or so of driving. Could be they are faulty or simply need new batteries as random updates is a symptom of old batteries.
TPMS batteries typically last about 5-7 years.

Ok thanks. Doubt the batteries all went bad at the same time so based of that they might not even have them

Makes sense, though you would be surprised, I've had batteries go out on some vehicles nearly the same time, usually it's a pair nearly the same time, then another pair a month later. 4 does seem like a stretch, unless these tires have been sitting for a while and went out before you got them?
If they came off a 2019 early build that could be nearly 7 years. But most takeoffs they remove the TPMS sensors and install them on their new sets. Luckily replacements are relatively cheap.

Definitely would help, would alleviate the fear of someone buying your vehicle, wondering if the light is on just because of sensors or another issue. OEM sensors can be bought on Ebay for $40 a set as an example: (4) BRAND NEW OEM MOPAR # 68293199AA-AB DODGE RAM 1500 DT 2019-22 TPMS SENSORS | eBay
Thanks
