Default Anyone Have Problems with the TPMS?

Checked all the tires including the spare all have 35 pounds in them as according to the door jam. However the stupid light came on out the blue and hasn't gone out after a few days now.

Just keep it at the right psi and there are no issues with it. If the light is on, it's too low. Bump it up or clear it.

I had 2 JK's; on both, one of the TPMS had to be replaced

I have a 2009 Patriot, and my f..... TPMS light is on and I have the good pressure on each tires. It will be fixed by the dealer next month

Enough said

No trouble with mine. It would come on when the weather gets cold, so I keep it on the high side.

I guess I'll call the dealer. I did come on after I had it sitting outside on a night it got down into the teens.

If it's cold related, bump up the pressure a little. Cold makes the pressure drop.

A buddy of mine here got his turned down by a mechanic at a dealer.....the front service guy said they couldn't, so my buddy walked back and asked the mechanic in person, and the mechanic turned the sensor down....haven't heard of any issues since..oh ya he runs a 3 inch TF lift and 35's....

Oh ya.....I have an 07.....no problems for me
