Tire Pressure Sensor Question

[josh@thedieselcartel]

I have been helping a buddy with getting his new truck all modded up and ran into another problem.

I always had H&S Tuners on my trucks so I would just turn off the sensors in the programmer and never worry about tire pressure. He already has a spartan and now the truck has some 20" Fuels and 35" Tires. He took it to the dealer before we tuned and deleted it and they said they adjusted the tire pressure in the computer down to 50psi so that the warning light would go away. I think they lied to him, I was unaware of dealers being able to do this. The warning light went away for a couple days but then came back and the tires currently have 65psi and it wont go away.

Whats the deal?

They are in fact able to do this.. They dropped mine to 55PSI because I like to run them at 70PSI and not 80PSI.. My guess is they did not lower it to 50PSI..

I think tire pressure sensors are nice but also a hassle at the same time.

yes-they have a special obd block that you can use to turn them off. there is a thread on here somewhere that pog is lending it out to people. it doesnt have to stay in the truck-it only takes about 3 mins to do.

And I have a standing offer for anybody in the Houston area to come borrow mine to turn theirs off. LMK

You don't need the block with a 2011+ man. Just go into the menu and you should be able to find it. Truck has to be off, but you don't have to retune the truck.

Good call! I didn't catch that

Is there a way to add the feature to the 13 f250? I actually liked the TPMS feature in my Chevy. I am surprised the Ford does not have it.

Can someone verify for CERTAIN that the minimaxx WILL shut off the TPMS for sure? I have to purchase an unlock for my 6.7 to tune it so i can try, dont want to spend the money on the unlock if it wont for sure work.

Thanks
