Default Tpms reset

I just put 4 new rims on my jeep, used the old tire presure monitors and my tires are at 35 psi I have put about 50 km on it and the light has not gone off yet, is there anything I can do to reset the light?

there is no manual reset. whatever the door placard says for tire pressure is what the sensed tire pressure must be to keep the light off, unless of course you have an aftermarket programmer.

It says 35 psi and that's what I put them at with our tire machene and it's state of the art, maybe I'll try checking them with another presure tester, thanks

You could always try a few pounds over the setpoint. I'm not sure what the tolerances are on the sensors or the actual range you get without a light. Some people have had problems with the spare kicking the light for underinflation as well. I know the manual says the spare isn't sensed but sometimes it is, so it's worth a check.

Here's another thread all about the issue, just for some more reading.

I found that with my TPMS I had to have the tire pressure set at 38 psi. If it was set at 37 psi or less the light would come on. I solved the problem when I got new tires though, I used an AEV Procal and turned the whole system off.

I went through the same thing you are going through now. I bought the AEV ProtoCal Tool. You can set whatever PSI you want, including ZERO , Which will dis-engage the TPMS totally. The tool also calibrated the Speedo, Gear ratio change, Daytimes runnign light <-- headlights or fog lights, Steer-wheel center, rpm advancement for winch and other high amperage needs , etc. Worth every penny. I got it for $150 no shipping. AEV-CONVERSIONS.COM[/url] Most 4x4 stores have themin stock. Easy to use, one time setup , put the tool back in the box, for future use. Only works on one Jeep at a time. Can not be setup for multiple Jeeps.

I do not work for AEV, just figured I would bring this info , in case those were not aware of this product. There are other programmers out there that do the above as well.

I had the same problem. I also set tire pressure to 38 and a few miles later light went off.
