I have the same issue on my Grand Cherokee. My current tires are rated for more air than stock. On a vacation this summer I inflated my tires to 38 psi cold (rated max is 44) instead of my normal 34 psi to get better mileage on the highway. On sustained highway driving in 95 degree heat my tires got a lb or two over the 44 psi where the overhead kept buzzing and annoyed the hell out of me. I finally dropped the tires to 36 psi cold where they stayed just below the magic 44 psi hot.
It's a royal PIA that you cannot adjust or disable it. Luckily my truck (an '04) does not have it bacause I'd get hit with a double whammy. My FCII's have a max of 50 lbs. plus I often air 'em way down to play on the sand or in the mud...

 

what year model is this thing on? 06 and up or what? cuz im getting new tires this summer

 

You should have it on your 07. But it was an option on my 07 Grand Caravan. Standard on my 08 Ram and 09 Caliber.

 

they started using tpms in 00' im pretty sure but only on bmws and such. i think all manufacturers had to start using them by 07'..

 

gotchya..soooo will i have to do anything special when i get my new shoes or will they place that puts them on just take care of it?

 

It should be fine just as long as the shop fills the tires within the sensors specs..cause our trucks just recognize a problem with a warning light.. the light will be on when you get your truck back most likely but should go off after like 10 mins or normal driving.. when youstart getting into sensors that show you each individual tires pressure on a display unit and all that then they'll have to get the system to relearn the sensors.. but that only takes like 20 mins

 

I'm with tduder on this it is a PIA.

 

Major PIA

I guess we have an answer to the original question...

No, none of these programmers help adjust the TPMS or any other sensor type function. But hey, my speedo is right on....
