Default Tire pressures sensor light and Running boards

Stupid light stays on. Sensor states back passenger tire pressure is low. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The pressure is the same on all tires. How to reset the light?

Trying to decide on running boards for the truck. Anyone out there have other pics or suggestions besides standard Mopar stock?

Sounds like you have a bad sensor to me...

I went with the Dee Zee NX running boards. A little pricey but, they are solid and were very easy to install. Everything fit perfect on my truck. Didn't have to twist or push anything. Also, they flex very little when I use them to get my 200 lbs in the truck. They do hang down a little lower then I would like but, not too bad. I had to get them for my wife and I not to sure how they will work out when I go deer and elk hunting.

Yeah I'd say bad sensor or maybe lose connection. The sensors should auto calibrate themselves from what I understand. Not sure how that works though.

The wheel sensors are very sensitive.My light has came on before,checked pressures,and found 1 tire,drivers side front,to be 1 lb. lower than the rest,and it triggered the light.If you have allready checked tire pressure,then I would agree to on a bad sensor.....

I wish these damn things told you what tire was low. That would make life so much easier.

Yeah I guess that's what I get for going with the SLT. Oh well, if I get out and look I can usually tell which one is low. Living in Alaska though, you don't want to be out side looking for too long sometimes...lol!
