Hi The TPMS light won't go out, even though the tire pressure has been set perfect on each tire. It's been driven several days since the pressure was set and checked good each day. Is there a way to check the sensors without going to the tire store? Can the battery in a sensor be replaced? Thanks

I'd also Google how long TPMS batteries tend to last, just for comparison.

2 things, does your screen not show all 4 tire pressures?

not sure what years they stopped, but you used to have to hit a reset button to clear the message.

No Chrysler product I'm aware of to this day has a spare tire sensor. 2¢

My 08 Grand Cherokee has a sensor in the spare. It got low and had to fill it.
I don't believe batteries are replaceable. Cost me $100 out the door at the dealer installed. He said the old ones corrode.

My wife bought an 08 PT new off the lot. The TPMS was always coming on. We found that if we ran 38 pds all around we wouldn't have the problem. When the weather started cooling off we started having problems again. Again 38 lbs seemed to be the magic number. And, by the way there's no sensor on my wife's spare.

As a note, my wife recently bought a 17 Subaru. They use nitrogen so a whole new box of things to keep an eye out. Nice thing is they top off and refill as long as we own the car.
