Reason why your light maybe on:

Did you get a Tire sensor for your spare tire???? If not you will need to get one installed for the light to go out.

Second you may have to get the tire shop to calibrate all the sensors.

Third, The shop may have damaged one of the sensors when installing.

I heard that with some aftermarket sensors, you may need to have your computer flashed by the dealer. I may be wrong, but when I got my new wheels, I said the heck with it and I'm living the tpms beep life now. ding.....ding.....ding.....ding.

Jeep looks good by the way.

If these are your old sensors....how much tire pressure are you running. The tires may have been warm yesterday and had just enough pressure to keep it from going off but now have cooled and you have warning lights. I have to keep 35 PSI in mine to avoid dings. I have aftermarket wheels with factory TMPS sensors

Question Hey cim330,

Sorry for the newbie question / comments, but how wide are your rims and what is the overall height of those tires in inches? Lastly, do you have an aftermarket lift or is that sweetass JK sitting stock?!?

Got me.....you may need to go to the Jeep dealership and have the new TMPS flashed to you computer.

I just used my old ones and have no issues. EXCEPT that thy go off all the time while wheeling b/c I run 12 PSI!!
