The ECU has to learn the new codes before it can monitor them. One post stated the ECU has to be re-programmed to look for the TPS on the new wheels and rims. If the ECU doesn't find them all it makes the pressure icon light up on the dash. The ECU in my regular cab was looking for the 5 codes that came with the truck when I bought it. I read a lot of the great posts on TW and TN learning each sensor has a discrete code. I upgraded my tires and rims recently and suffered, like many on the forum, the inability to reset my tire pressure sensors according to the instructions in the owners manual. just spend 15 minutes at a local tire shop that you trust (we're lucky here in SoCal, Discount is a GREAT shop), and see what they can do for you. So, before spending $300+ on a clone Techstream and replacement sensors and building a "pipe bomb". He was able to unlock it, and the TPMS light went off on restart. the error indicated that the dash button was stuck down! He went all the way around, brought the inflation to the requested level on all tires, and said that all of my batteries were good. He said that he couldn't pull the serial numbers, but he could reset the system as long as I didn't have a dead battery. Not wanting to pay the dealer $100 for the hour of labor and be told I need $1000 in repairs, I finally took it to Discount today.Īsked if they could scan the serial numbers or let me know if a battery was dead.
Bought the truck last December, TPMS has from day 1 flashed for a couple of minutes on startup then gone solid. Figured one or more of the wheels had been swapped, or I had a dead battery.
