Low tire pressure warning
I rotated my tires a few weeks ago and forgot to reset the TPMS so it gave me the low tire warning. Reset it, everything was fine for a little while. Then the low tire pressure warning popped back up. I checked the tire pressure, and it was low, so I pumped all 4 up to 68 and the warning won't go away. Do I have to reset the TPMS again? Or does the system just take a while to detect the new pressure?

Rather than mess with it. I just run the tires up to Max prssure (80psi) and run around the block and chase an errand or two, Then lower them to what ever pressure I want to run at.
If you are setting them close to the trigger point for the TPMS ( I think 62 psi) remember to set the pressure when the tires are the coldest.

I have put probably 60 to 70 miles on it since I pumped up the tires and the message is still there. They were at 60 psi, I pumped them all up to 68 after the truck sat all day, but the message still shows up. Driving me nuts!

I went through this the other day after a tire rotation for the 18 inch Conti's.
Alert is 62 and 68 doesn't cut it as Painted Horse said.
I didn't take mine to max but that's the best route so you spend less time messing with the crazy things.
