TPMS question

My Low tire pressure indicator has been on since my wheels & tires have been installed. The day I picked up the truck from the dealer the light was off.
after driving the truck for a few days the light came on. I checked & then re- checked the tire pressure and they all were fine. The next thing I did was re- calibrate the sensors, still the light is on. Anyone have an idea? Thought I would try here before I make an appointment at the dealer..Remember the light was off after the dealer put on the new wheels & tires.

Are you running 65psi in the front and 80psi in the rear? My light came on because the dealer had them inflated to 65 psi all the way around. Once they put the rears at 80 psi, the light went off. By the way, when they tried to recalibrate at 65 psi in the rears, it didn't work.

The dealer sub'd out my wheels & tires to a tire shop. The tire shop did the calibration. They were set at 60psi all around. Then I did them a second time at 60psi, Maybe I need to up it to 65psi

The fronts have to be at least 65 psi and the rears 80 psi or the pressure indicator light will come on. These are the recommend tire pressures from the factory and the pressure monitors have been set accordingly. Anything less and they come on.
