How do I change the pressure of the tire pressure sensors?

Klutch · 11-22-2009, 02:44 AM

I put new tires and rims on the new truck and they are only rated for 50psi and the stock tires are at 75psi. Can I change the pressure of the TPS? The manual only tells you how to reset it. Thanks.

The easiest solution (what I did for the yellow light) is tear the cluster apart and remove the LED light on the board. As far as the message just hit reset. As far as the PVC can in your Wheel you will never get that thing balanced correctly and you will most likely have a horrible wheel wobble. Yes the sensor can pass through plastic and the rubber it worked for a while in my spare tire.

List of things that I tried before coming to my final solution:
Talking to the Dealer about lowering the pressure (Wont do it b/c of Fed Regulations BS)... FAIL
Using the sensors from another Ford car/ truck with lower pressure.... FAIL
Install the sensors in the spare tire..... FAIL
Installing the sensors in a tube pressurized to set PSI.... FAIL
Waiting on a Tuner Company to come out with a solution... FAIL

I just ignore the light on my dash, and press reset when the message shows up.

Check the other posts for this. It can be done to workjsut like the factory with the lower pressures to 55, Ive got two of them and they work flawlessly.
