Im disappointed with the superchips flashpaq.
1st is the tpms settings. You have to download it off computer first. Then when I went to plug it into jeep, I found out the lowest you can set the psi is 22psi. What gives? With the aev you can set it to 0!

2nd is not too much of a biggie, but it takes too long to program.

Over $300 for this thing, and I cant set my psi to 0. So now I have to deal with the tpms warning light all the time.

Maybe superchips can read this and make a free update available.

The procal can do this and its half the price. Granted....it doesnt reprogram for different tuning perameters and whatnot. But still....

The flashback should allow you to disable the TPMS sensors all together, if not maybe it just needs updated. Id give updating it a try, I know my trail dash has the ability to disable them.

I did update it. The first thing I did when I got it last week was plug it into the computer and update it. Then I installed the free tpms setting thing.

I didn't see any option to disable it.

bump on this thread... have an 2013 rubi. 36psi is just way to uncomfortable for me and really like 28 psi. Bought a flashpaq , got the latest firmware and dowloaded the 87 octane tune with no issues. But the tpms lowest setting of 22 psi didnt shut off the tpms warning light.... SC advertised this option to work. What gives? SC is a ripp off!

Before you start calling a company a rip off, have you tried contacting Superchips and asking for help?

Have you downloaded the Offroad TPMS functionality?

Guessing the answer to that is a NO. (BTW, it is separate because you have to sign a waiver for the companies protection before they will allow you to disable the system.)

And if the problem is simply that the light didn't turn off immediately when you set it to 22 psi with the tires at 28psi, give it some time to catch up. Some people have had to drive for a half hour or so, or waited until the next day for it to turn off.

I'm using a Diablosport, but I can second that. The tire pressure change takes some time.

I just did my tire pressure to 28PSI and it took 4 days for it to register and turn the light off. Just drive around and it will go away. On another note...how big are your tires? only a 2" budget lift and you have tires that run at 22PSI normally?

actually. I did... a few times, even emailed them and no returns. Their documentation mentions nothing about disabling tpms, except lowering the threshold. So, I will drive it around a few days and see what happens.

when I downloaded SC the latest firmware it came with the offroad, crawl tune... is there a tpms option in there? I didnt want that option so I didnt look.

thanks for the response... Ill drive it around a few days and see if the warning light shuts off.

stock tires, not running 22psi. Just lowered the tpms threshold to shut the lights off... which is the main reason I bought the SC....

Anyway, thanks for all the response.
