Default Low tire pressure warning - question

I am running DC Fun Country 35 on MT 17x9.5 rims. I had them add the Air sensors. Installed the tire/wheel combo and all was fine. I dropped the tire pressure from 45 as delivered to 32 for a better wear. Low tire warning flagged. I have bumped all 4 tires back up to 35 and it is still flagging. I am wondering if it is one of the wheel sensors or is there a specific process when changing air pressure. I plan to test it all out by putting the stock 32's back on for a week to see if that resolves it.
Thanks for any help/input.

Going to have to re-callibrate the sensors with a flashpaq or other programmer.

Get the aev procal or superchips tuner, you can change the pressure warning signal values or simply turn them off. It may be one of your sensors, but ask yourself...."Do I really need a device to tell me when to put air in my tires"

Okay. Thank you for the responses. Being new to all the gizmo stuff now, you are stating I need to re-program the sensors in the wheels?
Thank you.

Yep, you can set the sensors at a more comfortable ride setting for bigger tires. I have mine set at 28PSI using the Flashpaq.

Precisely.

Pick your poison:

A lot of reviews and threads on this forum about every type of programmer.

Superchip's gives the most functionality, but it's also the steepest in price:

Wrangler JK up to 18.0 horsepower and 24.0 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels
Exclusive off-road trail tuning
4WD-HI axle locking for Rubicon
Real time idle up for accessories
Speedometer correction for tire size and gear changes
Read, display and clear trouble codes
Transfer case gear calibration
Fan control
Spark advance set
Tire pressure monitoring system threshold adjustment
Adjust wide open throttle shift points, speed limiter and rev limiter
Transmission settings optimized
Internet updateable


If you're looking to just get rid of the sensors, a $150.00 programmer will suffice, but it won't give you the features that a $300.00 programmer gives.

Check your spare tire pressure too, only one of the sensors needs to read low to throw the light. Once all are at 35, drive for 3-5 min and the lights should go out if there is no problems.
