Scenario,

I bought a new 2011 jk, and i have been on this forum reading everything

SO oh ya, this jeep is light, well better air down my tires right.....check the pressure and its at like 44 psi on the 255/75/17 Wranglers rated 2500lbs and I remember the guy saying they were filled with Nitrogen.

A little calculation and I want to try around 35 psi for now on the street, so air down.

NOW my sensors go off!!!!

THE QUESTION: How can I fix this? Can I do it myself?

 

The sensors are set to the pressure it says on the door pillar. + or - On mine it was 35 lbs.

 

mine says 35, maybe im at 33 or something

 

Most aftermarket programmers give you the option to set the TPMS or shut it off.

 

If your placard says 35, the TPMS should be factory programmed to:
Illuminate/chime when the pressure drops to 28 psi, and reset when it rises to 32 psi.

 

ah cool, thanks...

 

thats handy, i think the mechs at work have one

 

They lock to only 1 jeep. You will need a new one or one that was reset but it will lock the programmer to your jeep.

 

...so i double checked and they were all at 35-37 psi, inlcuding the spare....
I deflated them all to 32psi anyways and tried to ignore the warning lights and chime, after about a week the warning light has finally reset itself

It was like getting rid of hiccups...
