Hey Folks.


I just did the brakes on my 2008 F-350 and now the low tire pressure light is on.


can I reset this or is it a dealer only reset?


how do I reset it?


thanks, Dave

 

I haven't used one myself, but you can get a tool to reset the tpms sensors. I know tire rack.com has them available because I've been pricing new tires and wheels for my truck. Their OEM reset tool is $45. They also have others that are more expensive but I honestly don't know the difference

 

Dumb question, but did you check all tire pressures? I find that the warning shows up every once in a while regardless of what the tire pressure is. Usually I hit the reset button on the steering wheel to shut it up. Then later when I restart the truck it's gone.

 

If you rotated the tires, intentionally or not, you may have the lower pressure fronts now on the back. Check the pressure first and adjust. The TPMS training tool is available on AMAZON for about $40. You need to download the instructions from the web though. It does work but I found it may take a couple rounds to 'instruct' the truck's on-board computer and make it 'stick'

 

Check the tire pressures.

The system has no idea which tire is on which position, so trucks that have different pressures front and rear need to be reset each time you rotate. That doesn't matter if you didn't change pressures after the rotation, assuming you did one.

 

Thanks for responding.
YES, I checked the tire pressure. I check it every Sunday since I have my own compressor.
NO, I did not rotate the tires.


I found the reset tool on amazon, reading the reviews they seem to work ok.
any of you have experience using one of the tools?




Thanks, Dave
