To reinitialize the TPMS on a 2012 Dodge Ram, first turn on the ignition and then press and hold the TPMS reset button before starting the vehicle. Once the tire pressure light flashes, release the reset button. After that, start the engine and let it run for approximately 20 minutes. This action should successfully reset the sensor. If your tire pressure falls below 25% of the recommended level, the warning lights will come on. Keep in mind that tire pressure tends to drop in cold weather, even if properly inflated. This occurs because cold temperatures cause matter to compress, while heat causes it to expand. Consequently, the low tire pressure warning may activate due to cold weather, but the issue usually resolves itself once the tires warm up.

The person who posted that answer was foolish. The 1500 model does not have a reset button, only the 2500 does.

To reset the tire pressure monitoring system on a 2012 Dodge Ram, first, turn on the ignition without starting the vehicle. Next, press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light flashes three times, then release the button. Start the engine and let it run for approximately 20 minutes. This should reset the sensor. Drive for at least 10 minutes at a speed of 50 mph or higher, preferably on the highway with the cruise control set to maintain that speed. This step helps ensure the sensor is properly reset. The next time you start the engine, the message should be cleared.
