    TPMS

    Hi guys:

    I got a set of Laramie wheels and tires without TPMS sensors and now have TPMS the light on the dash. If I were to put the stock wheels and tires that have sensors in the bed would the light go off? Was thinking of doing this momentarily until I buy the sensors, which will be soon.

    Thanks.

    Re: TPMS

    I have a question for y'all. Has anyone run into a problem with running aftermarket tires that do not call for the programmed 80psi? If so were you able to have your parameter in the truck changed by the dealership? I have a 2014 that I am having this issue with in the rear tires and would like to have this resolved so I don't have to look at the light anymore.

    I'm was with the understanding that the tires need to rotate a few miles for the pressure to be transmitted to the receiver and shutting off the warning. If the warning light doesn't bother you, why worry and just get the TPMS installed in the wheel when you can. Last I read, all it does is warn you, nothing that will effect the truck performance.

    I have found this just after I posted my reply take a look, this will help!

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!!

    Also, I have had issues with the upgraded alloy wheels and the TPMS sensors. Specifically, the valve stem is a new shape that does not fit the universal TPMS valve stem . All you need to do is carefully file down the corners to shape the brass fitting so it will fit in the sensor. Once it's screwed into place everything is secure and there are no issues. The universal valve stems are about a buck a piece. Dealer cost on the new "updated" valve stem is about 25 bucks :shock: (yeah - I'm out! LOL).

    This should take care of and answer any questions/issues when changing to custom wheels/tires. I got started down this path with information from another string on the same topic. There was a tech on here that had described the procedure vaguely but I couldn't find his post (if you read this - THANKS). So - this is not my idea originally - just a more descriptive set of instructions you can take to your local dealer. Hope this clears up all the confusion on the topic.

    Very helpful for a widespread issue. This should be a sticky where it can be found easily.

    Re: TPMS

    Not shure if this works but the service tech at my dealer told me if I wanted to lower the pressure on my rear tires with no light to throw the rear tpms into the spare tire and that the truck would read the sensors from their. I had just installed some toyo r/t tires and the rear is real rough at 80 psi. Maybe when I rotate them I will give this a shot.

    This will not work... At least not on mine. I had to throw my spare on and had the other tire in the bed and get a MSG.

    No, this is the step by step process that I have actually taken to the dealership for them to use. What I was told is that It definitely worked on the 2013 and older, maybe even up to one of the first flash updates on the 14. There is no way this can be changed unless one of the programmer guys that can get into vehicle ECM can figure it out.
