Try this .

Disconnect the + & - terminals from the Battery , next touch them together for about 10 seconds . This does a soft reset of multiple modules throughout the truck .
Leave both terminals disconnected for at least 30 minutes, over night if possible.

Hope this helps !

I assume both batteries must be disconnected?



Both batteries? I for sure know where I have one near the engine. But where is the second batterie?

I think he means both terminals of the battery.

Both terminals on your Battery. To my knowledge, you have only one battery .
Hope this helps.

I'm not familiar with the 2500 diesel trucks , but if you have two batteries then I'd assume you have a Main battery that's connected to the PDC (Power Distribution Center ) aka fuse box .

This would be the battery to disconnect and touch the terminals together for a soft module reset .

If both batteries are connected to the PDC then yes perform this procedure on both batteries. Make sure all batteries terminals are disconnected prior to touching any terminals together .

Hope this helps , sorry for any confusion.

Sorry it took so long to reply, been busy. I disconnected batteries and touched the cables together as was suggested. I left them disconnected over night. I can scroll to "system setup" and that's it. Any more ideas? Thanks.

There is no reset procedure for low tire pressure. It may take a couple miles of driving but if it still says the tires are low, they are low or there is a bad sensor.

I corrected the tire pressure and drove the truck, tire pressure light(s) went out The problem is the EVIC wont reset. (miles vs KM /mileage / miles to empty etc) I get as far as SELECT and that's it. Any thoughts?

The problem IS NOT with the tpms, it's fine. It's the EVIC will not come out of "select".

Could be your steering wheel buttons are messed up, I know it's happened to others.... might be why you can't change your EVIC screen???
