Don't mean to sound negative.
Don't you just love all the bells and whistles on the new vehicles.
Chrysler allows you to pay thousands of dollars extra for thebells and whistles,for theprivilege
of having to pay thousands of un-nessery dollars later, to have all the bells and whistles fixed.
What ever happened to just plain transportation?

the tire pressure deal is a federal thing not a chrysler thing they were told to have a system that will check the tire pressure so it wont get to low and have a blow out and cause an accident on the road. Just about everything now a days is a fed thing having to do with safety.

 

Well I just got new tires put on the other day and the tire dealer broker off a TPMS sensor. they got it replaced that day and got me back on the road. However now I have my EVIC showing 1 tire low. I double checked the tire pressures and they are all at 33 PSI. My build date is 01/04. So I went though the EVIC to try and re-learn the system with the magnet but I can't get the message to go away. So I guess it wont let me retrain the sensor with the warning on the EVIC. How can I get around this. I have the tools to fix it, but I can't do it until the message goes away first. Any ideas. Do I need to take it to the dealer first so the can program the new sensor in?


thanks for any help,

Bob

 

I got the same error - checked the air pressure - fine - bought new tires (fainted over price) - message still there - want it gone so I know how far I can go before purchasing gas - please help!!! Thank you.

 

take it to a dealer so they can see which one is broken.

 

I put new tires on my '04. Chrysler said my tires are incompatible with the sensors and the only way to get rid of this message was to replace the tires. Guess I live with the message. I have a love-hate relationship with this car - the best combination of AWD, comfort, look, etc. with the absolute worst repair-quality control ever. And I owned a 1974 Plymouth Duster.

 

Ok....I am about to buy new tires for my 04 AWD.
How do you know WHAT tires are compatible? I would think that 33lbs of pressure would be the same no matter what tire you had as long as it was the same size as the original.

Here is what the manual says by the way, for the sensor threshold on an 04........

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM) - NORMAL

BUILD VEHICLES

The SKREEM monitors the signals from the tire

pressure sensor/transmitters and determines if any

tire has gone below the low pressure threshold LOW

TIRE PRESSURE THRESHOLDS table.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE THRESHOLDS

SYSTEM STATUS INDICATOR TIRE PRESSURE

OFF 207 kPa (30 PSI)

CRITICAL AND NON-CRITICAL SYSTEM ALERTS

CRITICAL:

a tire pressure has gone below a set threshold pressure.

The SKREEM will display “X TIRE(S) LOW

PRESSURE”. “X” will be the number of tires reporting

low pressure. The message will display for the

duration of the current ignition cycle or until an

EVIC button is pressed. If the display is removed

without correcting the condition, it will reappear 300

seconds to warn the driver of the low pressure condition

 

same size that's all that matters

 

Thanks CT

One more question on tires......

Same size.....

So tread type/design is ok to change?
I want to go with a more passenger style tread. I will still get truck/suv rated, but want a smoother ride. A less "luggy" tread.

 

you have to take it to the dealer or a tire dealer who has a drbiii or starscan because u can reset it if have a new sensor but the problem is you dont know which sensor is wrong so the magnet thing will only work if u definately which sensor it is. Also check your spare tire if it has one in it and can be low that can effect it.
