Low tire pressure light on dash

[Canadrian]

Hey guys got a stupid low tire pressure light but tire was fine but now I don't know how to reset as I don't have those fancy menu buttons on the dash as it's a ppv ... Any guidance please? Thx

any halfway decent tire shop can do it for you, or you can buy the little tool online I think they can be had for $20 or less

buy and install a DIC and you'll have the fancy menu buttons

What year? You said the tire was fine, what did you do to it to check? The light comes on if the air pressure decreases more than 10 psi from whatever it was set to, probably the same as your door sticker.

2008 and I was just on the highway I'll check pressure with a guage tonight

There are two procedures for resetting the TPMS sensors but this is positional and not related to low air pressure. The light goes out due to low air when the sensor detects the right amount of air or is replaced because it was faulty.

On another note, your truck can have a DIC switch easily added. You just need the switch and the panel modified or changed so you can access it and those handy features.

Yep super easy and cheap, twenty dollar switch, plug and play.

Indeed. If you're planning on keeping the truck more than a year, the DIC switch is worth every dollar. You can low-buck the install by cutting up the dash panel, or get the proper panel and install it all in one step. Literally plug and play.

You can search for things like 'DIC install' on this forum and get all sorts of ways to skin that cat.

cutting up the dash panel,

Yep, that's what I did, Just cut it real careful. Look on the dash behind the panel and take some measurements to see where the switch will fit and transfer that to the panel. Mask the panel off. mark your lines and cut and cross your fingers. Like I said easy. Oh yeah when you glue it in use some epoxy gel that doesn't run.

We went the new panel route. Funny thing (not), is, though the panel arrived with more scuffs in it than the original panel had!

Ok so I have added the DIC button and I can see my tire pressures are all at ---. How do I get my new sensors to recognize the truck? I have new wheels and tires.
