You can disable them using the ALFAOBD software through a bluetooth OBD interface. Below is what you need and you can google it or find it on the RAM Forums.

I live in a tourist town in alberta Canada. I have performed warranty work on American travellers vehicles numerous times. We wouldn't repair them if fca didn't pay!


If I bought a new vehicle in Canada and registered it for 6 months...then moved to USA....I would not lose the warranty.

regardless, If anything big comes up in 6 months...you should still have Canadian warranty.

tpm are not mandated in Canada so Canadian trucks have winter tire mode....if you run without all 4 tpm sensors and the system will not display the warning lamp

This is not correct, I have run my 2015 without all 4 sensors and you do indeed get the TPMS light, It just doesnt prompt you on the display and show the pressures like it does if you have a low tire.

here is the dtc that sets when winter mode is activated. this is for a 2015 DS with 5.7 from the fsm
C1597-00-TPM SYSTEM DEACTIVATED-WINTER MODE
Check for the following conditions:
  1. The telltale lamp is off.
  2. The tire pressure values in the Instrument Cluster are displayed as dashes.
  3. The message center is not displaying "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM".

did your system have tpm sensor faults before you ran without sensors. maybe you need to go into the rfh and clear all the old dtc out.

Mine had the Dashes and no Service TPM System but DID have the telltale lamp on still.

Also no faults before, or after when reinstalled tires the next summer
