If your door jam sticker says 37psi, it shouldn't show the warning until it drops to 29psi, and extinguish the warning once it rises above 34psi.

At the end of the day, a TPM system for this vehicle is a bust. Chrysler should disable them all, and then we will not have this problem.
I had mentioned that the spare was monitored, maybe I was wrong .....got the info on this forum when I first got my jeep. Anyway.... 37lb worked for me. Seems overboard, but it is what it is.

agree - TPM on Jeeps is a bust

drastic changes in air temp can effect the relative pressure in tires. if your tires are run close to the tpms warning threshold anyway, i think factory setting is something like 25 +/- a drop of a few pounds will trigger the tpms. i know a few guys that run nitrogen in their tires, they say the pressure is less likely to vary, but i can't speak from personal experience.

The TPMS warning threshold is programmed from the factory, based on the tire pressure placard on the "B" pillar.
It seems to be around 80% of the placard pressure.

AEV procal will let you reprogram the low threshold. It allows for airing down tires without setting off the TPMS.

Unfortunately TPMS are federally mandated, so they won't be going away.

I used my Procal to set the threshold to 21 psi, and it will let you set it to 0 which essentially disables the TPMS.
