Tire presure sensor

I have a 2008 F250 diesel , I just had a leveling kit installed along with new rims and 35" tires, I now get a message about tire presure monitor failure.
The tire store does not have any any idea how to fix this. Has anyone had this problem?

Thanks, Ex Dodge Guy

Hey

What are the tires set at psi wise? If they are not load range e and are set lower then the truck wants to see it will set the light. Also if it was damaged in the process.

The only thing that the tpms does is read pressure differances. Only way to reset the light is to have it reset with the tpms tool. not many shops have them my store does tho. and i believe al NTB's do.

ACTUALLY....the dont read differences in pressure...they read differences in tire revolutions per mile by using the ABS sensors in conjuction with the TPMS sensors

for the origional thread starter...ur gonna need to find out if the sensor was damaged or if its just wanting to be recalibrated now that the tires are a different size....

Don't you have a reset button that allows the system to recalibrate itself after it identifies a low tire and you check the air pressure? I'm just guessing here. My Buick regal has a reset button on the inside fuse panel........

Like everyone else has said, the tpms could have been damaged in the mounting process. However, look in your owner's manual under tpms or tire pressures, it should tell you in there if you can reset the sensor yourself. Other wise Discount tire should have the nessecary equipment to reset the senors for you (at least mine does anyway).

BTW: the only real way to find out if the tpms was damaged in the mounting process is to have the tire dismounted, by someone who knows what they are doing of course, and visually inspected. If it turns out it was damaged, have the store you bought the tires and had them mounted at buy you a new one (they are pricy!! about $250).

factory huh?? Ford doesnt offer a TPMS specific class..... so it wasnt factory....it may have been a generic TPMS class..but trust me...stuff varies so much between manufacturers that they can never touch on enough...

lol...point proven...if it was factory training...there would have been only one person from one company. Just the ford TPMS could be about a four day class....

its an intigral system with the ABS....trust me...there are two different TPMS systems just in ford vehicles...not to mention what chevy...im assuming dodge...and the imports have...
