The Atlas DOES NOT EVEN HAVE tpms sensors. you can change wheels all you want and not worry about sensors. It uses the ABS module to sense how fast the wheel rotates. If a tire is underinflated, it will rotate faster. You set the baseline, so make sure it is at 35psi when you press the SET button. If you set it at 20psi, it will tell you the pressure is OK, when it is VERY low.
Excellent info
Thanks both
Very much appreciated!
