TPMS problem
My truck is a 2010 model delivered in July 2010.
Yesterday, I got a low tire pressure warning when one of the tires hit 28psi.
I've inflated the tire to 40psi but the alarm persists.
Is there any way of disabling the TPMS alarm?
I'm guessing that there are worn down batteries that will need replacing.
I figure the tires are good for 1-2 more years service and I would expect to change the batteries when I replace the tires.
Any suggestions?

Been down this road. If they're gonna reset, they should do so within a couple of miles. Although I recently replaced mine along with new skins, the OE TPMS sensor/s had been on and off for about a year and a half. Along the way I researched possible solutions to the annoying alarm. The only somewhat workable solution was to cut the wire from the TPMS sensor receiver, which is buried under the dash. I opted to put up with the nuisance until it was time for new tires.
Trivia: There are no rules up here in the north as regards the functionality of TPMS. Disabling an OE TPMS in the U.S. is illegal. Fallout from the Firestone debacle.

I think the federal mandate for TPMS is too much hand holding. But I like TPMS, at least the way it's implemented in later models where you can get a live view of actual pressure in each tire. Makes it real easy to check pressures. I do it far more often than I would if I had to get the gauge out and walk around the vehicle. With TPMS I can check it on the way to or from work.
