Low tire pressure indicator
Is there a way to "trick" this sensor that all of my tires are at the proper psi? If I put in the recommended amount of air, the truck bounces or dribbles like a basketball on road bumps and rides too hard. I had a 1997 F-350 for twenty years and put 330k miles on it when I sold it to get this new truck, and I always would keep 50 psi in all the tires, rode nice too and tires would last around 75/80k miles, then I would air them up if needed, but as a daily driver it was sweet.
I have 50 psi in mine now and love it, but the darn light is annoying me. Any ideas?

Is the forscan tool a dealer tool? I went to the dealer and they told me they can no longer change this setting because of the DOT.

This thread shows you everything you need to know!

Basically, you buy an OBDII Scan tool that can connect to a computer, like this one:
Then, using forscan software, you can connect to the truck and modify the comptuer settings.
Good luck!

Won't work. It's the rotation of the tire that wakes the TPMS sensor up from sleep so they would never turn on located in the spare.
