Cold weather will effect them.
They are more of a problem than a helper in my opinion.

 

I have been in the cold and back to hot and back to cold... I don't think this is the issue right now. It just randomly came on today when it was about 70 degrees outside and after I had driven around in town for about 20 minutes...

 

I don't know then.
They are pretty expensive if you have to replace them.

 

Takin it down to dealer in the am... Ain't got time to be lookin at lights on... drives me bonkers. I won't pay a dime for anything, thats why I have a warranty

 

its just another thing that can go wrong.... and does

 

is there anyway to turn that system off making me nuts

 

is there anyway to turn that system off making nuts

huh?..... I don't know if you can just completely turn it off

 

Nope can't turn it off.
Your only solution is look at the light or unplug the bulb.

 

anybody with 10's have this problem?

 

Sorry dude, no such problem here.

Well, I'm really not sorry that I don't have a problem...but I do feel kinda bad for ya!

 

i have a 2010 and mine does it everytime it gets below 60 outside

 

really?????

i bought new tires and wheels and paid for new TPMS and found out i do not even need them for a 3500 errrrr, lol

bummer man, that sucks

95f150, why did you buy new sensors?

 

I was wondering the same thing because I am 80% sure they swapped mine or maybe they did add new ones when I had my 20's thrown on, I don't remember...

 

Sensors are easily swapped! I work at Discount Tire and we do it all the time. The only reason to buy a new one is if you have a broken one. If it's leaking or something you can buy "rebuild" kits that have a new rubber sealing washer and a few other pieces including the top piece you actually see outside the wheel.

 

ya thats what I thought...

 

Should have bought a 3500 and you wouldn't have this problem! rof

 

shoulda woulda coulda....

hows that 1500 treatin ya

 

What about the spare? Does it have one?

I just adjusted my tires from the light load settings to heavy load to haul a trailer. I shut the truck off, set the fronts to 75, rear 80, fired up the truck and immediately hit the button to shut off the light load settings. I switched the EVIC to show the tire pressures and all four tire pressure indicators were flashing and the TPMS light was on. After a minute or two, the right front and left rear showed the correct pressures and stopped flashing, but the left front and right rear kept flashing. I waited some more and nothing changed so I aired up the spare to 80 (from the 55 it was at). Still nothing. Took it for a drive and before I got a mile down the road, the other two pressures read correctly and they both stopped flashing, TPMS light went out.

 

see I think in your case the truck hadn't reset....

because when I had them switch them into my 20's they were all reading funky... left was on the right and front was in the back or wherever the sensors were... drove about 10 miles and then it was fine...:confused013:

 

Is the tpms light the one on the left hand side with a (!) it will flash once the truck turns on and blink several times and then it stays on and gives me that message that I stated... to check tpms system

 

Yep. Look like this.

 

yep!! when the truck turns on that will flash a number of times then it comes up solid...


if a sensor in the wheels went out wouldn't it not read the air psi?

 

Check and make sure that the tires are inflated to what they are supposed to be set at. Even though they are reading a psi, they need to be at a certain psi +/- a few psi to keep the light off.

 

i will go check that out now... just to confirm

 

If you have the light load button on, it should be 65 front, 45 rear. Set it to those psi settings and go for a quick spin.

 

going to look now but thats what I have them set too...

Set them to the pressure it says on the sticker when you open the door. If they say the wheels are in the wrong position, like LR but it's really the RF, then they need to be relearned with a special tool.

when the shop that did them, Martin Tire, there special tool wouldn't do anything... I had to drive it and it reset itself to the proper locations front right left front, rear left, and rear right.

I am pretty sure that the special tool is for the valve stem located TPMS sensors. These are located around the inside diameter of the wheel.

 

ya he was going around with this tool to each tire/wheel and messin with something and it wasn't doing whatever it was supposed to do....

Well, what does the EVIC show for the pressures?

rf 63 lf 64
rr 46 rl 46

I have had this issue also. You have to have exactly 65 in front and 45 in back or it will not let you put the light load setting on.

my light load and all that is on though....

 

darn it one of my knucklehead roommates ran off with my gauge that reads that high... only one I can find goes to 50.... grrrrr

Mine weren't exactly 65/45 and I didn't have any problems.

Might skim through this and see if you can find an answer.

ya I know it... thats just it I have had these wheels and tires since 500 miles and I am at 4000 now with no issues...

 

HMMM my sensorsare in the wrong location i think. Should they be in my glove box?

 

I bet they monitor real good in there!

Good deal man! I'm jealous. I bought a house before I bought my toy... Wish I went the other way around I can't wait to get mine! 3500 Rugged Brown Mega Laramie :drool2::drool2::

You will love it when you do!!! I have no regrets.... ( Or at least I tell myself that after spending 50k)
