The sensor is about $75, the labor maybe an hour $125 so $200 (if you avoid a dealer).

 

Tech mechanic just called & asked if I had replaced the sensors after I bought this van & I told him no.
I just bought it on 9/9/25 & I believe the dealer who I bought it from made that repair.
Supposedly this mechanic said the sensors were replaced with “non OEM” parts.
He also mentioned that with newer vehicles, the rely heavily on being able to communicate electronically so the replaced sensors should have been from MOPAR?

How many sensors does my van have & how much should I expect to pay for them if they are going to be replaced?

 

I'm guessing their issue is the OBD II security gateway module?

I'd try another shop and ask if they can get through the OBD II security gateway on a 2019 Promaster

 

I have a 2022.

 

Need to go to a real mechanic not a tire shop

 

I did go to a mechanic who said the same thing.
The computer module was LOCKED.
He said dealership started doing that back in 2019 when a lot of JEEPS were being stolen.

 

if it is the security gateway, what's baffling is the shop should know they can't work on 2018 and newer Promasters

shops can either pay Ram or bypass the security module

 

@Crazycatlady2025 sent you a DM

 

Taking it to a mechanic who said they have a subscription w/Ram so they can access their information (gateway module I’m assuming?), and he said he needs to perform a diagnostic to see EXACTLY what is causing the issue.
Another $170 to him for this test.
So far I paid $60 to Firestone who did nothing.

Now ANOTHER expense for ANOTHER diagnostic.

I’m wondering what the actual charges will be to fix what it needs?

 

I would ask what it’s going to cost to replace it up front.

 

How will I know if the cost is too much & should bring it to a different mechanic?

 

The verdict is in.
Total cost: $1174.
All 4 sensors had to be replaced because the ones that were put on prior to me buying this van, were “cheap” or “universal” according to this mechanic.
