AEV ProCal and TPMS -2012 JK
Ok so I bought some 33x12.5-15' wheels and tires with TPMS sensors from DTD; all was well until a couple of days ago when the damn light started flashing for about a minute, then stays on whenever I start my Jeep. I was running at 32 PSI (max. load inflation rating on the Duratracs is 35 PSI).
The OEM rocommended pressure rating for the stock BFG MT/KM's is 37 PSI.
I tried airing back up all the way around to 35, then 38, then 40 PSI but still can't get the light to clear/reset. (Yes, I drove it enough to allow for it to clrear/reset, a good 25 or 30 miles on interstate)
I talked to a local Jeep dealer and they claim it needs to be put on an analyzer ($95 min.) to determine if the TPMS system failed or a bad sensor.
DTD is willing to refund my cost for the 5 sensors, so if I go this route, will the AEV Procal work to disable the TPMS even if I do have a bad sensor?
Thanks!

The ProCal will let you enter any pressure you want or disable the sensor if you enter 0 psi, also it takes several cycles of the ignition key to clear a low tire indication. Disconecting the battery momentarly will also reset the sensor.
