To reset the tire pressure light on a Ram 1500, you must first address the underlying issue and ensure that the tires are properly inflated. The truck's tire pressure monitoring system employs battery-powered sensors in each tire to alert the driver if the pressure drops below a set level. Once the light illuminates, you should inflate the tire to the correct pressure, drive the truck for a few miles, and then the light should turn off. If all tires are inflated correctly and the light remains on, a faulty tire sensor could be the cause. These sensors typically last about 10 years, and a replacement can range from $20 for a generic brand to over $80 for an OEM part.

    Where can I find the button... precisely???? There are no images and it is not close to the steering wheel.

    Everyone is sharing the same method for resetting the TPMs, but no one has addressed the crucial question: where can I find the TPMS button? I own a 2019 Ram 1500 and I have not been able to locate this button anywhere, neither physically nor in any of the menus.

    Does the TPMS reset button location remain consistent across all Dodge Ram 1500 models? I have a 2012 version.

    I was able to switch off my car without moving an inch by turning the key while the engine was off. Following that, I inflated the tires to match the cold tire pressure specified on the driver's door pillar. The sensors then registered the updated pressures, and the TPMS light turned off. Hopefully, this information will be useful to others.

    To reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) on a Dodge Ram 1500 in the US, turn on the ignition and press and hold the TPMS reset button before starting the vehicle. Release the button when the tire pressure light flashes three times. Then, start the engine and let it run for about 20 minutes. This process is necessary to 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 at that speed. This activity typically helps in resetting the sensor successfully. Once you restart the engine after following these steps, the message should disappear.

  • Mittie R

    There is no specific button to reset the tire pressure monitoring system on the Ram 1500. The vehicle is designed to automatically recognize the sensors after driving consistently for 15-35 minutes, preferably at highway speed. However, if the TPMS sensors are not the original manufacturer specifications, the truck may struggle to detect them, or may not be able to at all. If the system does not work properly, you may need to consider replacing or calibrating the TPMS sensors. It's unfortunate, but that's the reality.

    Certainly! Here is a revised version of the text:
    "Hey there, I've tested all the sensors and they seem to be working fine, but the bell and light keep going off. Can someone please help me out?

    Here's a rephrased version of the text:

    "It's all about learning. Inflate your tires to the correct psi, then go for a quick drive. The computer will detect the updated pressure and the warning light will turn off.

  • Alice R.

    There is a reset option available. If you drive your vehicle for a short while, it will automatically adjust the pressure. The same applies when you rotate your tires.

  • Tania K

    The owners manual provides information about its location. In 2012, it can only be found on 2500 models and is positioned above the climate controls.

  • Jon Jonson

    Attempt to press the reset button for the mileage, which is the black protruding stem on the dashboard.

  • Jolene M.

    There is not a button provided – please refer to the manual for guidance. Be cautious of trusting all information found online.

    I got all my sensors checked and they were fine. I tried to fix the issue by driving on the highway at 55 mph for 15 minutes to reset the system. However, my tire light and bell still turn on every now and then. How can I figure out which specific sensor is causing the problem?

  • Max J

    To fix the issue with the tire pressure indicator flashing on my 2011 Ram 2500, you can try toggling the light vs heavy load tire pressure button located on the dashboard above the climate control. Switch it to the opposite mode and then back again. This should resolve the problem if you were previously receiving acceptable pressure readings but the light was still flashing. However, if the indicator shows zero, this method will not work and you may need to replace a sensor.

    I also added an extra 5 pounds of pressure to each tire beyond what is recommended on the sticker on the driver's side door.

    Here's a paraphrased and revised version: How do I reset the TPMS without filling the tires to the recommended pressure? I need to keep the tire pressure low for driving on a sandy track. I am unable to locate a reset button.

  • Carolyn J

    In a 2013 RAM, there is no reset option. To fix a tire issue, try releasing some air and then adding more air back in.

    I added an extra 5 pounds of pressure to each tire compared to the recommended amount listed on the driver's side door pillar.
