Our weekly TPM failure thread. Is there any chance of Dodge getting rid of that crap or is it federal standard?

They need more air? 
Sorry for that outburst.
They could have been filled in the warm plant, and now they are in Mass. if you info is right. What's the temperature there today? Makes a big difference.

Yes...25 will trigger alert.
First step is to inflate tires to correct cold tire pressure...29 lbs. for 2003 -2006 stock runflats. If by "new", you mean 2008-9...I'm not sure of the cold tire inflation pressure but your owner's manual and/or a sticker on the car should state same.
Still, "the year matters" (as JonB would say) even more if your car is a 2003-4...because, even though you inflate to correct pressure, the warning may not clear or may return promptly...and you can assume that you have 1, 2, 3,or 4 dead batteries in the sensors (as happened to our 03 SRT-10 last summer. This can be confirmed with a DRB III if you have access to one. If this is indeed a case of battery failure, it's about $80 per sensor as of this summer when I last checked (can't just change battery), plus the cost to un-mount and re-mount tire (and possibly balance each) $$$$$$$$$$$
Anyone know why they did not use RFID chips for this instead of a 5 yr. battery powered transmitter as each wheel???

The cold weather (30F) keeps setting off my tire sensor in the morning, but after a few minutes of driving, it turns off. They really need a way to shut off that sensor manually. I have more important things to worry about, than low tire pressure.

Blame the owners of SUVs for that one.
