TPMS reset button location

Site-r · May 21, 2022

I took my 2017 Ram 2500 in and had the tires rotated. Of course, the TPMS tire pressure flashing screen was showing when I picked the truck up.
I then proceeded to drive the truck for 30 minutes with out it resetting.
I went online and there are several articles from dealers saying push the TPMS reset button with the key in the middle position.
I then searched for the location of the TPMS reset button, and it says under the dash.
I took a flashlight and locked for 20 minutes under the dash, and do not find any buttons near the steering wheel.
Does anyone have a picture of the location of the button?
I can’ afford to drive again at $6.19 a gallon.

There's no "reset" button for the tire pressure monitoring, it will clear itself if there is no problems. If the tires are low then correct the pressure. It's possible one of the tire sensors has gone bad.

Ok. Why did all of the sensors work fine before the tire rotation and now the backs show up in the front and the fronts show up in the back with the correct tire pressure if one is bad?
If one is bad, would it not register?
Also, why are there four dealer articles saying to press the TPMS reset button if there is not one in the truck?

If there was a button on the 2500s, someone on this forum would have mentioned it by now.
This post may shed some light:

2016 RAM 2500 TPMS issue with new wheels

I have a 2016 2500 Tradesmen that came with the 18" steel wheels. I picked up a set of 18" aluminum wheels off of a 2016 2500 Laramie (same size exact tire/size, Transforce) with 5k miles on them. I had Costco switch the tires but they were unable to get the new TPMS to show up. I've read...

Could these be aftermarket sensors?

If you don't have OEM TPMS sensors, weird stuff can happen. If they are OEM, like said, the truck will sync itself up, know the proper position, etc.

So, the truck is stock and has OEM mopar sensors.
I told this problem to my son, and he has an odbc tool. After he reset it, the sensors are now correct.
For the future, and for others who don’t have access to an odbc tool, can someone verify that the 4 dealer articles that mention a tpms reset button are incorrect, or post a picture of location?

Recently went through the same thing. There are tons of articles on the web talking about this TPMS reset button but I have never found anything on my '16 2500HD.
