Check the PSI in the tires, INCLUDING the spare. Just because the dealer said 33psi was in all tires means nothing.. |

What year Jeep do you have? 05+? Does it tell you the tire pressures on the evic if you have one? |

Did you recently have new tires put on? Try disconnecting the battery for a couple minutes. Once in awhile, after being aired down and refilling, my light will stay on for several miles before it goes off. |

yes, i think the 05+s with no EVIC have an indirect TPMS system (no sensor in the wheel, read via wheelspeed) and what it measures is not actual tire pressure but differences in wheelspeed. |

Yes the 05's and on have a wheel sensor. I don't have the display on my EVIC, but I do have sensors in the wheels. I have seen them. If you go below about 30 PSI the light will come on in the dash. |

Weird. Must be the fleet cars we service that don't have wheel sensors or something...unless it's just something I haven't noticed. I know that overinflation, with either indirect (no wheel sensors, based on wheel speed) and direct (with the sensors in the wheels) will set off your light, though. |
