I got some used tires for the summer without TPMS sensors, how would I disable the service TPMS light?

alpinegreenneon · May 11, 2019

I have not done this to our Ram, but I did do it to our 2016 Dart.
Connect to the BCM, then in the drop down go to car configuration change. In the drop down at the bottom of the screen find "tire pressure monitoring system (tpms)" and switch it to "not enabled" click start.

I cannot for the life of me figure out the settings for led lights. I've read all 695 pages on this thread and the 21 pages for the 06-12 thread.

I've got a 2011 2500, factory quads. Drls were already enabled.

I want to modify everything to run as an LED without resistors or harnesses.

According to the 06-12 thread, I just need to set the front lamps to HID, and change the DRL to led. When I go to set the option for HID, I hit the start button and next and get absolutely no input or output.

I'm using the 2.1.6.8 version of alfaobd, and I'm using a veepeak ELM327 capable Bluetooth module. No issues connecting or anything like that, and the module is exactly the same as the recommendation module.

No errors or anything like that.

Also had trouble with setting my tire pressure (see attached photos).

Any help is appreciated

Anbody used this option when they got an alignment? My truck has has a tiny bit of pull over since I got it, and no alignment has seemed to fix it yet.

What a great tool!.. I updated my tire diameter and added DRL's yesterday in about 10 min, and all works great! Mine is a '15 RAM, going to jump into my son's '11 RAM now. Hopefully just as easy

I never used it, but was aware of it being required when getting the EPS replace or an alignment. It is commanded while the vehicle is on the wheel alignment machine.

Ok it sounds like everything you have is correct so I think we can rule that out. I would try the tool on a simple code like maybe the (Global Window Down) feature just to see if it will work. We haven't really had any issues with the tool causing any corruption issues so you should be ok. This way we can see if the tool will work on known codes that are done all the time. I noticed there was another member who got the same message while trying to enable the (Tilt In Reverse) and his truck was also a 13. This is a code that has also been successfully done several times. The 13 trucks are the ones that seem to have the most issues when it comes to the program such as the CSM menus not being present ect. I would suggest contacting the developer and explain the issue to him and send him a debug file. There is a chance that there may be an issue with the new software version since it is displaying the same message on two completely different codes on two different trucks. He has been very helpful in the past when we have had issues.

I successfully added the ITBM to my 2017 1500 using AlfaOBD. When I sourced my module, I found out that Ram had changed them through the model years. If you haven't already make sure you have the correct module. There are three different modules that only work for their respective years: 2013-2014, 2015, 2016+. Just trying to help by ruling out any hardware issues.

Interesting, I wonder if there is a way to determine if alignment shops are actually doing this. I just had alignment after swapping UCA's and the shop never mentioned it... not that they typically would I suppose.

Actually it wasn't present when I checked this morning.

I would get the known working OBD module (OBDlink MX). He even mentions it on the site that not all ELM327 are created equal and the cheap ebay ones may or may not work. I'd be surprised if your $17 adapter has all the functionality of the $70 OBDLink MX.

I have the electric power steering. I've had my truck aligned three times by three different places as my lifts gradually increased. None of them did anything within the BCM of the truck. I am thinking that setting is most likely more for calibration and replacement of the actual unit more than wheel alignment after the unit is already installed but not positive.

Under Body Computer MY2013-17 PowerNet, I see a possibility under Veh Config 7-TPMS Configuration, then in the pull down one of the options is Logic 2 NAFTA disable warning.
Another possibility is VehConfig 3-BaseTPM system Present or VehConfi 3-Premium TPM present and then under select value Yes or No for either. Not sure which will work, like I said I didn't try it on our Ram.

That does make more sense... I can't imaging a lot of tire shops would have access/knowledge to the BCM tbh.

I bought the Veepeak elm327 and would get errors OR no confirmation when I would try programming with alpha and went and got the recommended MX and it works properly every option I try it takes and does NOT give error messages

the veepeak did NOT "break" anything but it would change the setting and never give the responce OR give an error response and the setting would not be set / could not be set

Quick question for anyone who has already done this. Getting ready to install 245/70-19.5 wheels and tires on my 2016 3500 4x4 dually. Does the tire change size link in the first post on page 1 work for a 3500 dually?

Installed led switchback turn signal/ park lights. they are badass wish I could upload the video
Disabled dropout on high beam

Well I’m getting random bulb out warnings. Only seems to happen at night with headlights on. Drive all the way home no bulb out errors. Got home got a right turn signal out as I was pulling up. Turn headlights off and check turn signal the message went away.

anyone used this to turn the AC seat option on? I have a set of Laramie seats and also installed the switch panel for the right buttons for AC seats. Also does the AC seats show up in the 8.4 screen like factory as well

Thanks for taking the time to answer, I am new at this program this will be my first time attempting to use it

Yes if you have factory heated seats the vented seats will work plug and play if as long as you have the 8.4 radio and you enable the correct codes. They will work exactly as factory and the options will also be present in your screen. These are the codes to set. The first two are to activate the vented seats. The last one is the CSM setting. It will have the heated/vented auto on comfort menu on the screen select the 2-3 option.

That said... If you don't have the needed wiring for heated/cooled seats and wheel turning them on in the BCM won't do anything for you.
