I keep getting a pressure sensor light......the pressure recommended on door sticker is 29PSI cold though tire says 51 PSI max.Seems like a big spread and was surprised at the recommended 29PSI cold.Think I have a bad pressure sensor but what do other owners run?How hard is it to replace the sensor?

run 29 cold front and rear, those sensors have batteries in them that go bad, order a new one from dodge and have them install it in the wheel. no biggy- i replace all 4 at once,but you dont have to

yes you cant buy the battery, they are internal non replaceable. you buy the whole sensor, correct

If you dont want to go through the dealer programming hassle, you should be e-mailing us :)

OE sensors need to be programmed by the dealer. We can "mimic" your bad sensor if you can get us the sensor(s) and/or codes, without the need for the dealer.

Throw the TPS idiot lighter away and get a pressure gauge and put it in your console and check your tires when you gas up.

Yes...for what it's worth, Herb Helbig, the Viper Grailkeeper, told me that 29 psi cold is correct. That's what I am running on the new Michelin Pilot Super Sports I installed last summer.

I had my Gen IV at the dealer 3 or 4 times trying to get those darn things fixed. Finally got it done correctly, right before I sold it :smirk:
