Default Exclamation point under drive?

I just changed my tires and went to 34's. Now I have an exclamation point symbol underneath the drive light on the instrument panal. The user manuel says that it is indicating that i'm low on air. Is this something I have to manually adjust, or will it adjust on its own, or will it ever adjust.

If you didn't change out the TPMS sensors when you switched wheels then the jeep thinks you don't have any air in you tires.

he's right if you didn't order tpms sensor's in your new rims, that's going to be on everytime you turn it on. I forgot to get them on mine, I don't even notice anymore.

Goodyear MTR's 305/70/17. I had the tire guy transfer what was on my old wheels onto my new wheels, and my new wheels came sensor ready. I was told that they transferred over the sensors, is this something different or wrong? Here's a pic of the wheels/tires

If they transfered the sensors in all five tires and wheels and the tire pressure is correct then there is no reason why the warning light should be on unless they broke one of them during the switch.

breaking the sensor is a common thing when changing the tires. they are pretty costly too.

What is considered correct PSI. I'm sure they messed it up because when I just went to check my tires they are all at something different. Not a lot different but 3-5 psi difference in each tire.

God bless the "X" trim level and its total LACK of TPMS sensors!

I would try 30 to 35 psi and check the dash light.
