"Tire Pressure Monitor Fault"

[etnies86]

So I bought this truck with the light on the guy didnt really have a answer as to why or how it started... Anyhow Its 2008 f350 crew cab if it matters.
Everytime I fire up the truck up the light flashes and it makes its noise then comes up on my display as "tire pressure monitor fault" then I hit my black needle and it goes away from the display but the light remains lit up...
I do have the factory 20 inch rims with some 33 by 13.50 r 20 toyo mt tires all my tire pressures are proper.
Bad sensor or what sorry my question marks and inchs arent working ÉéÈ lol

You might take it by a discount tire or something. This happened to me when I switched rims and they didn't relearn the truck to the new tpms sensors.

Hmm don't think we have a discount tire here

Any tire shop should be able to do it.

If you still have the sensors, your problem will be you have a f350. The 350's need 80 psi rear and 65 psi front and chances are your toyos are only rated to 65 psi so thats why the light is on. Only way to fix it is to run 80 psi in the rear, go to a tire rated for 80 psi, or tune the truck and get the tpms turned off. Or you can just live with it.

Ok well I'll go to a local tire shop see if they can get it off if not ill go to ford I suppose see what happens I don't believe there is a tuner yet that disables the tpms

H&S sells a tpms tool thats in addition to there tuner and you can adjust or turn off the tpms system. http://www.hsperformance.com/store/2...ms-module.html

I like the sounds off that wish spartan would come up with something anyway to turn it off without having an h and s chip? Lets say a friend has one can he plug in and turn it off as I continue to use my spartan

The H&S tuning is the only way to get this unit to work, so you have to tune with there tuner and if you still wanted the spartan it will now become a monitor only! you would think spartan would keep up in the tuning game and do this if someone else can. You cant even adjust for tire size with a spartan

Got my H&S TPMS tool last week and turned the pressures down in no time (make sure you have the connector fully connected or you will be waiting for nothing) and it is much nicer without the warnings but keeping the system functional.
