Default tpms reprogram to new pressure specs

does anyone know if the TPMS can be reprogrammed to a different tire pressure spec other than what the factory has programmed???

Can only be done at dealer and the techs at 99% of the dealerships don't know how. But I do...


Print this and take it in and they should be able to change your settings and turn off the light. It takes about 10 minutes.

Step 1: Go into the BCM (body control module). Go to "miscellaneous functions". Go to "update pressure thresholds". Set pressure to desired settings. Do not try to do different pressures front and back! Even if you run 10 psi difference front to back you won't get a light. If you plan to run 10 psi difference I suggest your "setting" be in the middle of the high and low just to give you a little cushion.

Step 2: Go into the RFH (radio frequency hub). Go to "miscellaneous functions". Perform "RFH replace" and follow prompts. You will need the PIN number for the truck. That can be obtained through Dealer Connect with the vin number to the truck. When following the prompts - when asked for desired pressure setting - set new pressure levels. You do not need to replace anything - just perform the function to set new levels.

I have not had to drive the truck - once the RFH replace function is done the light goes out and the truck is reading new pressures.

Done!!

Well I can tell you I've seen it done. Not on mine, I'm still running stock E tires, but on another 2014 2500 running max 50 psi 35 mud tires. So if they say nay - I know better...

well i talked to dodge and one guy said no....

i called the next day and i spoke to a different service manager, he asked a different tech and he sed there is a way to reprogram the tpms to different tire settings...... gonna cost me 100$ but better than spending 1400 on new tires to match the factory settings

i told him i had instructions for it, he said to bring the truck and theyll take a look at the instructions

Dodge's TPMS system is garbage. Or at least it was on my 08. I had the 'light load' button, but I got false readings from it a couple of times due to cars driving past me.

I'd say just turn it off and not worry about it annoying you.
