RAM 1500 TPMS Diagnostics, 2008-2020 (including DT/DS/DX)

After the TREAD Act was mandated in 2007, all vehicles manufactured in the United States beginning in 2008, must be installed with direct or indirect TPMS systems.

The RAM 1500 uses a direct TPMS system, which means TPMS sensors are installed in the wheel. If one or more tires indicate low tire pressure, the TPMS sensors will transfer the information to the vehicle’s ECU. An indicator light (low-line TPMS system) or each tire pressure will show on the dash (high-line TPMS system).

When a sensor is replaced for one or more wheels of a RAM 1500 truck, a TPMS relearn is recommended to transfer the new TPMS sensor ID’s to the vehicle’s ECU.

Type of TPMS system:

  • Direct TPMS, TPMS sensors are installed in the wheel, tire pressure is communicated via radio frequency (RF) technology from the sensor to the vehicle’s ECU

OE and Aftermarket (Universal, Hybrid, Programmable, Configurable, One-to-One, OE-style) options for TPMS sensor replacement:

All OE, programmable, configurable, hybrid and OE-type (one-to-one) TPMS sensor options and service kits can be found in the VT56, VT55, VT36 TPMS Tools and most Powered by ATEQ tools.

Type of TPMS frequency:

  • 315MHz and 433MHz, depending on the year, see the troubleshooting tips

Type of Relearn procedures:

  • Auto relearn procedure
  • Bonus OBD relearn procedure coverage as an option on the VT56 for years 2008-2017, requires OBD module

Type of TPMS tool required for TPMS reset:

  • TPMS activation tool such as VT15, VT31, VT36 or VT56 for auto relearn
  • VT56 TPMS scan tool with OBDII module includes Sync ID technology for software versions DA1-25-04 and higher for bonus OBD relearn, available for years 2008-2017

Auto relearn procedure, years 2008-2020 (including RAM 1500 DS/DT/DX):

  • Confirm TPMS sensors are properly installed
  • Adjust tire pressure to placard value
  • Hold TPMS tester on left front tire sidewall next to the valve stem, use TPMS tool to activate the sensor
  • Repeat for the right front, right rear and left rear sensors
  • Drive vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph or until TPMS light is off

Bonus coverage, OBD relearn procedure, years 2008-2017:

  • OBDII module is required, attach to the tool
  • Confirm TPMS sensors are properly installed
  • Adjust tire pressure to placard value
  • Hold TPMS tester on left front tire sidewall next to valve stem, use TPMS tool to activate the sensor
  • Repeat for the right front, right rear and left rear sensors
  • Apply OBD module to DLC
  • Turn ignition to ON
  • Press OK on TPMS tool to transfer data to ECU
  • Disconnect OBD module from DLC
  • Turn ignition OFF then start the engine
  • Drive for at least 5 minutes at 28 mph

 

Troubleshooting tips

Oversized Rims

If you notice interference of your TPMS signal on the RAM 1500, it could be due to oversized rims. The RAM, in general, have very large rims, and especially if there are larger aftermarket rims on the vehicle, it can cause RF signal interference.

315MHz and 433MHz sensor replacement

Starting mid-year 2009, RAM 1500 manufactured vehicles with 433MHz TPMS sensors. Therefore, it is very important to check the TPMS sensor information before replacing the sensor to make sure you are working with the correct frequency.

Auto-relearn, the light won’t turn off?

The auto relearn procedure steps require the technician to drive for at least 5 minutes at 28 mph. Unfortunately, when you’re at the shop, it is not always easy or time-valuable to drive a vehicle around at over 28 mph for that amount of time. If the shop is in a city, it may not be possible to drive for over 28 mph unless the user drives outside of a city environment where it is possible to drive at higher speeds.

Solution? For RAM vehicles 2008-2017, the bonus OBD relearn procedure is available for the ATEQ VT56, thanks to patented Sync-ID technology. This advanced feature allows the user to perform an OBD relearn to turn the light off, with minimal to no driving time required to turn the light off, saving the technician time and the customer labor costs.

Dodge RAM: How to Reset Tire Pressure System

by Jennifer S.

Dodge RAMs are equipped with a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) to assist you in maintaining the correct tire pressure. The warning low-pressure indicator light, which appears within your dashboard or via the EVIC, indicated by a chime, should turn off automatically after your tires receive the proper amount of air pressure/ PSI. The EVIC even indicates which tire has low pressure. You can locate the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure on the inside of the driver’s door.

Keep in mind that tire pressure changes in different weather conditions. You should ask your mechanic or dealer about the levels for dissimilar temperatures. Lastly, if you constantly see this warning despite confirming proper pressure in all 4 tires plus your spare (Yes, there is a sensor there as well).

Here are steps to follow to disable the warning light:

Contents

  • 2020 – 2023 Models
  • 2006 – 2019 Models
    • Low Tire Pressure
    • New or Repaired Tire
    • New Sensor or Other Malfunction

2020 – 2023 Models

  1. Switch on the ignition WITHOUT starting the vehicle
  2. Press and hold down the TPMS Reset button; When the tire pressure light blinks 3x, release the reset button.
  3. Start the engine and let it run for 20 minutes. This action should reset the sensor.
  4. Drive for 10mins @ 50mph or higher. Enter a highway and drive. Preferably set the cruise control to ensure this speed. This normally aids in resetting the sensor. The next time you start your vehicle, the warning should be gone.

If none of the above steps work, you may want to try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery cable using these steps:

  1. With the engine OFF, use a wrench to disconnect the POSITIVE battery cable.
  2. Start the engine and push the horn for 3 seconds or however long it takes to release all of the vehicle’s power.
  3. When all power is drained, reconnect the battery cable and check for the warning light.

2006 – 2019 Models

Low Tire Pressure

  1. When the Tire Pressure Monitoring System warning turns on, check which tire is low with a Pressure Gauge.
  2. Inflate the low tire until it is at the recommended PSI.
  3. Drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above 15 mph. The TPMS system will reset automatically.

New or Repaired Tire

  1. Place the new or repaired tire(s) on the vehicle.
  2. Make sure the tire is at the recommended PSI.
  3. Drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above 15 mph. The TPMS system will reset automatically.

New Sensor or Other Malfunction

  1. Make sure all tires are at the recommended PSI.
  2. Drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above 15 mph. The TPMS system will reset automatically.

**If you are unsuccessful in resetting the tire pressure system after following these steps, try each a second time. If you are still unable, contact the dealership for assistance or consult your vehicle user’s manual.
