Default Low Tire Pressure Light won't turn off

So I aired my tires down to 25 psi to go on a trail on Sunday. I aired them back up after I was done (on Sunday) and the sensor keeps being triggered till today. I checked the air and I have somewhere between 35 - 40 psi in each tire.

if u have or buy a superchips tuner you can perminately disable the tpms!!
i had an issue with mine back when i had the sensors in and the dealer had to reset it using the starscan..
dont forget the spare tire has a sensor too.. all tires need to be close to same pressure.. to much of a variance can trigger the light as well as low psi..

ronjenx has the threshold pressures.. maybe he will chime in

Check your spare. Might be coincidental but mine was low, and triggered the light.

You'll need to bring all 5 tires up to at least 38 psi in order to get the TPMS light to go out. The light should go off immediately after you do that but if it doesn't, you'll need to take a short drive at the new pressure.

Once the light is out you can bring the pressure back down to what you normally run as long as you don't go below 34 psi.

Wow... I didn't even consider them having a sensor in the spare tire. I just had my mind blown haha. Thanks for the help.

haha I dunno either. I'll figure it out tomorrow when I can check the air of the spare tire and match the psi with the other tires and then drive around again till it shuts off.
